U.S. Military Considering Making COVID Booster Shot Mandatory
This could get interesting if troops that received the first two vaccines shots decide to not get the booster. Will the military punish them like what has been done to unvaccinated personnel?:
The Pentagon said Friday that there are “active discussions” within the department about making the COVID-19 vaccine booster shots mandatory for service members, even as thousands refuse or seek exemptions from the initial shot requirement.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said there have been no final decisions on the matter, but added that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin “absolutely encourages people, if they can and if they qualify, to get the booster. But right now there is no requirement for it.”
The defense department in August announced that it would begin requiring all members of the military — including National Guard and Reserves — to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The military services sent out specific guidelines on the mandate, set their own deadlines and laid out the repercussions for those who refused and were not granted a medical, religious or administrative exemption.

So the “safe and effective” “two shots and life returns to normal” vaccine has become “three shots and pretty much all the same restrictions stay in place”.
Sounds great.
Just a hypothetical here… but if the first two shots wore off so quickly that a third shot is needed 3 to 6 months later, has anybody put any thought into the possibility that a fourth shot might be needed 3 to 6 months after that?
…and after that…
…and then after that…
…etc.
It should be pretty clear by now the are just fùcking with us.
The question is if it is greed, ass covering, pride, ideology, or evil agenda.
CH, you need to embrace the healing power of “and”…
Meanwhile, mandatory shots will guarantee lower enlistment and reenlistment rates.
Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran are probobably giggling enough to wet their britches over how well Pedo Joe is working out.
