Air Force discharges 27 for refusal to get COVID vaccine

WASHINGTON — The Air Force has discharged 27 people for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, making them what officials believe are the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate to get the shots.

The Air Force gave its forces until Nov. 2 to get the vaccine, and thousands have either refused or sought an exemption. Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said Monday that these are the first airmen to be administratively discharged for reasons involving the vaccine.

She said all of them were in their first term of enlistment, so they were younger, lower-ranking personnel. And while the Air Force does not disclose what type of discharge a service member gets, legislation working its way through Congress limits the military to giving troops in vaccine refusal cases an honorable discharge or general discharge under honorable condition.

None of the 27 sought any type of exemption, medical, administrative or religious, Stefanek said. Several officials from the other services said they believe that so far only the Air Force has gotten this far along in the process and discharged people over the vaccine refusal.

  1. Look I was in the military so I was jabbed prodded poked till the cows came home. however lover there’s got to be some kind of clause or loophole with experimental medications. we’ve had incidents of this type of illegal apication of drugs….with LSD experiments by the ARMY why is this not being allowed to be questioned? it’s an Experimentaldrug it’s not approved by the fda. But they will support mental cases needing to be recognized as a gender they ARE NOT! THE SCIENCE IN EITHER CASE PROVES MY POINT!!
