President Joe Biden did not rule out ordering all members of the military to get the COVID vaccine after data showed that 40% of Marines refused to get a shot.'I don't know,' he told NBC's Today Show. 'I'm going to leave that to the military.'Nearly 40% of the 123,000 Marines who have had the chance to receive COVID vaccine have turned it down, according to force-wide data obtained by Military.com.'I'm not saying I won't,' Biden said. 'I think you're gonna see more and more them getting it.'He acknowledged it would be a tough order to give.

Then the troops should be given the opportunity to leave the service if they do not want the vaccine. After many years dealing with and observing the actions of the government, I know that the government lies and that they do not care what damage they inflict on citizens.

Gee, I don't remember having the ability to refuse any of the shots the military thought I should I receive when I served. I guess the world has really changes. Military members refusing to follow orders!

Why is this country so hell bent on a vaccine for a condition that is not that bad most of the time? Why the vaccine for those who have had the virus already? Who is making all the money? How much does each shot cost? Etc. why all the precautions for all who are already vaccinated or had the disease? There definitely people who shouldn’t get the vaccine, like pregnant women and those with neurologic disorders. Tylenol has more severe warning labels.

At present, members of the military can't be forced to take the vaccine since it isn't officially "approved" it is being given out under Emergency Use Authorization (EAU). So, if Biden *forces* members to take an unapproved vaccine, this would be yet another expansion of Presidential authority.

The Marines are the toughest of the tough. They are willing to die for their country on a moment's notice.
They are also mostly young and strong. If they were to get Covid, there is something like a 99.99% chance it would be mild and they would be back in service in a few days.
With all the PC garbage our military members have been forced to swallow the last few years, this is going to push a lot of them to get out as soon as they can!!!
But a weakened military is what the lie-berals want, so I guess they win (and we are all reamed)!!!!

You can't be required to take an experimental vaccine.

I think under the current law as written, it would be unlawful to force (physically or through coercion) one to take an experimental vaccine injection (s). In effect the PINO (president in name only) as the Commander in Chief would be issuing an unlawful order. As any self respecting member of the armed forces knows that unlawful orders are NOT to be followed/executed. Only lawful orders require to be followed/executed.
Maybe by doing so it could be grounds for impeachment procedures to be initiated.

Covid is a political illness and the experimental vaccine is also political. It's at least one thing I can say that I'm proud of Marines for lately.

Whatever happened to my body, my choice? Pro-Choice Democrats should never impose their beliefs on the health care decisions of others.

Excellent comment #7. This disease is not even marginally dangerous to the healthy young men and women serving in the marines (although it may have an impact on the hormone treated trans segment). "Follow the science!"

#2, how many experimental vaccines or other experimental shots did you receive in the military? I was in when they were just bringing out the polio vaccine, and we were never forced to take it. And by the way, polio is a lot more devastating disease than covid.

Dicktater Joe will do it. Can't have anybody questioning Fauci's authority. I'm happy that I served when the military was not run by fat pajama boys because there would be no way in today's environment.

I predict that those that their enlistments come for renewal, they will leave.

First of all... they should test the marines for antibodies. If they have antibodies, they had the bug and recovered from it. And they don't NEED

don't NEED the vax.
That's the science. Demanding anything else means.... you don't think science is real.

The Secretary of Defense, with his fake Silver Star, may order the troops to get the Kung Flu shots.

#2, nobody has "refused to follow orders". I have discussed this with one USMC member and he tells me that there has been no pressure (yet) to take the shot. Certainly no orders.

I was a Marine sergeant back in 1970. One morning, I went to sick call; I felt like hell, and thought I had the flu. A young Navy doctor looked me over and told me there were only two things that ever went wrong with a Marine under the age of 30: they got shot, or they got gonorrhea. He gave me a shot of penicillin and sent me back to work.
Based on that doctor’s medical opinion, Marines probably don’t need the vaccine.
