Is Anyone Really Looking Out For Our Military?

On Friday, The Daily Caller posted an article listing the four Republican Senators who voted against the amendment to the defense authorization package that would have reinstated troops discharged for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

These are the four Republican Senators:

Republican Senators Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Mike Rounds of South Dakota voted no on a last-minute amendment to the bill re-enlisting thousands of troops separated for refusing the vaccine mandate, collapsing the proposal 54 to 40.

That is a disgrace.

The article reports:

The Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps have separated at least 8,400 active duty and reserve troops for spurning the Department of Defense’s (DOD) August 2021 requirement that all servicemembers receive the COVID-19 vaccine, according to information the DOD provided to the DCNF. While the bicameral defense bill released late Tuesday directs the Pentagon to rescind the mandate, it stopped short of requiring the military to restore discharged troops to their prior positions or provide reparations.

…Defense leaders continue to maintain that ensuring the overall health of individual servicemembers, including by receiving complete doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, is a “readiness issue.” The White House reiterated support for the vaccination mandate on Dec. 5, Fox News reported.

Republican Sens. Cruz, Thom Tillis and Richard Burr of North Carolina, John Barrasso of Wyoming, Roy Blunt of Missouri and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee did not vote in Thursday evening’s session.

There is evidence that the vaccine is not entirely safe on young males. Much of our military is in the category where there have been heart problems as a result of the vaccine. It seems to me that until the vaccine can be proven entirely safe for young adult males, our military should not be giving or requiring the vaccine. Stay tuned for lawsuits in coming years from young men who developed heart conditions after receiving the vaccine.
