Democrats Urge Biden to Make COVID Vaccines Mandatory for Military after 40% of Healthy Marines Refuse the Vaccine

A group of Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to President Joe Biden requesting that he issue a “waiver of informed consent” to make getting vaccinated against Covid-19 mandatory for all US military service members.

CNN obtained a copy of the letter, which was sent on Wednesday from a congressional aide.

Currently the Department of Defense cannot make vaccinations mandatory because they have only been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use. A waiver from the President could bypass that rule.

The Department of Defense has said publicly that the opt-out rate among service members eligible to be vaccinated is about 33%, but last week military officials and service members CNN spoke with from several bases and units across the country suggest the current rejection rate may be closer to 50%.

  1. Marines listen to their corpsmen about health matters.
    They are not often led astray.

    Another question to ask:
    How many corpsmen are not vaccinated?

  2. Why is there a picture of an Army sergeant?
    The media is so ignorant about the military,
    just as are 95% of elected officials.

  3. Point taken 6:12. However as an Army combat veteran and Ranger, something else sticks out more here than the bullshit vaccine. The fact that said overwhelming amounts of military personnel voted for these idiots that are illegally occupying our white house…..in the event that almost half….because I’m confident that is more accurate. Does it weigh on anyone else’s mind that the best military in the world would vote for this scum?…I strongly doubt it.
