All US service members must get their Covid-19 vaccine as soon as possible now that the Pfizer-BioNTech jab is fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). More than 800,000 service members out of around 1.4 million still need to get their shots, according to Pentagon data. Those who haven't gotten a shot face a wide range of punishments if they don't, with the most severe being an investigation and court martial. Of active duty forces, 68 percent are fully vaccinated and 76 percent have at least one dose, according to Pentagon press secretary John Kirby. Data is less clear for reserve and National Guard

Comments:

The Pentagon, which just armed the Taliban with billions of dollars' worth of US weapons, including brand-new attack helicopters, says servicemen and women had better put money in Pfizer's pockets, OR ELSE. Do I have that right?

That's what the Pfizer approval was all about - a political decision to make mandates legal.

Gee, let's see. Get the vaccine, or ruin my life with a court marshal. Having never served in the military, I was always under the impression that one loses their rights under the Constitution once in. I don't know if that's true or not. I find that hard to believe. Maybe it's just a general feeling that service personnel have from following orders all the time.

So is the story that has been going around true that what got FDA approval was actually not the current vaccine but some other thing Pfizer hasn't manufactured yet? The story goes that the current vaccine only received extended EUA, and that this other thing was approved to start the process for full approval. I cannot find a single thing on this anywhere, but several posters has said this today. If it is true, I don't see how the Pentagon can force this issue.

People who have served in the U.S. Army know about the immensce scope of legal direct orders. The military can LEGALLY ORDER its employees to get vaccinated. Because of governmental immunity, there's no chance of legal liability for doing so. The President cannot be Court Martialed - Removal is limited to resignation, impeachment, or the 25th Amendment. Last Sunday on Mark Levin's TV show his guest said, "Biden should be Court Martialed as Commander-in-Chief." Levin knew how absurd that statement was but refrained from responding, "The President cannot be Court Martialed." It was embarrassing.

The first 24 years of my life, I dutifully got every injection that they said I should get, without thought or concern. Then in 1975, after receiving the annual flu vaccine, and being ‘sick as a dog’ for 3 weeks, I thought back, and realized that EVERY time I got the flu vaccine, I was ‘sick as a dog’ for weeks, and that I got the flu and colds a few more times throughout the year. I determined at that time I would never get a vaccine again. Good timing too, because the next year, the rushed to market experimental vaccine for swine flu came along. I happened to be in the army at the time, and since the whole swine flu debacle started at Fort Dix, NJ everyone in the army was required to get the experimental vaccine. Hundreds died, and thousands were permanently debilitated by that vaccine, and millions sick for weeks. I refused, adamently, and was threatened with court martial for it, but my Battalion Commander was a good guy, and had been my XO when we were both in the Rangers, and knew that I was the only one in the battalion that could do my job, said; “Ok, you can skip it... As long as you don’t tell anyone else I let you off.”. So, my last vaccine of any kind was 1975, and I have only been sick once since then, flu, or maybe just a bad cold. (A few times I got wounds that I thought I should get a tetanus shot for, but did not, and somehow managed to survive.) Anyway, I hope that any of the military people that refuse the ‘zombie clot shot’ are really really good at their jobs , and have a wise and understanding commander who says “Lets don’t, but say you did.”.

They sure are pushing this. Wonder if there's a second component that gets released later on, that provides some fatal synergy with the useless vaccine the Chinese-funded, self-anointed, 'elites' are pushing so hard. That would certainly drop our military capability; not to mention the population.

A potentially deadly blunder by President Joe Biden’s administration effectively handed the Taliban a “kill list” to target Afghans who aided the US, according to a report Thursday—and admitted it may have happened when asked later at a White House briefing. Following the Taliban takeover of Kabul, US officials there gave the Islamic extremist group the names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies so they could be allowed to enter the Taliban-controlled perimeter around the Hamid Karzai International Airport, according to Politico.(Snip) “Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” a US defense official told Politico. “It’s just appalling and shocking

China exploited Kamala Harris’ unexpected flight delay to Vietnam this week to undermine the United States—by doubling the US offer of coronavirus vaccines before the vice president could make her big announcement, according to reports. Harris was en route to Vietnam to offer a coronavirus rescue package, including 1 million extra doses of the Pfizer vaccine, when her plane was delayed over a feared case of the so-called “Havana Syndrome.” During the delay, Beijing rushed its envoy in Hanoi to meet with Vietnam’s prime minister—and he doubled the US offer with a pledge of 2 million vaccines, the Washington Post reported, citing Chinese state media.

Japanese drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of sales and distribution of the shot in the country, said the decision was a safety precaution. Takeda asked Moderna to conduct an emergency investigation. Neither the company nor the health ministry detailed the contamination and whether any of those doses might have been distributed internationally.

During an address to the nation Thursday evening, President Biden vowed to “hunt down” the terrorists behind the bombings at the Kabul airport and said the U.S. military will continue to evacuate American citizens and allies despite the disruption. Biden spoke hours after two bombs were detonated outside the Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul. One suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device at the airport’s central Abbey gate, killing at least twelve American troops and wounding 15 others. A second bomber detonated his device outside the Baron Hotel, near the airport’s perimeter. It remains unclear whether any Americans were killed in that blast.

One of the most effective ways for the MSM to shut down an inquiry into misconduct is to say it is all a conspiracy theory. Besides avoiding an unwanted discussion, the charge also invites scrutiny of the "theorist" instead of the issue itself. Notice how quickly some even start off saying something like "I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but..." Expecting their reaction, we have become almost trained to do this. But are there really no big conspiracies? It has been claimed that the phrase "conspiracy theory" was invented by the government to discourage the questioning of official explanations for important events, especially the JFK assassination.

In a move no one can grasp, U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders, and Afghan allies, believing the Taliban would allow them to enter the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport. Lawmakers and military officials are outraged. The insane move was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Kabul by the August 31 deadline. It also came as the Biden administration began relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport. ISIS-K has since set up forces around the soon-to-be-renamed Hamid Karzai International Airport.
