The Epoch Times<\/a> reported yesterday that the Biden administration opposes giving honorable discharges to American military personnel who refuse to get the Covid vaccine.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden\u2019s administration on Wednesday came out against efforts to prevent dishonorable discharges for U.S. troops who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Office of Management and Budget said in a policy statement it \u201cstrongly opposes\u201d an amendment to the 2022\u00a0National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that bars any discharge but honorable for service members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The provision \u201cwould detract from readiness and limit a commander\u2019s options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination,\u201d the office said, adding that commanders \u201cmust have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures\u201d in order to have \u201ca uniformed force to fight with discipline.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The amendment received support from members of both parties during a markup of the act on Sept. 1. It was authored by Rep. Mark Green<\/a> (R-Tenn.), a military veteran and a doctor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time, Green said he understood the need for a vaccine mandate but noted that no longitudinal data is yet available for the COVID-19 vaccines, adding that service members who decide not to get vaccinated and are ultimately discharged should receive an honorable discharge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am dismayed and concerned that the Biden administration is trying to remove my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that prevents anything but an honorable discharge for service members who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine,\u201d Green told The Epoch Times in an email.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a bipartisan amendment\u2014not one Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee opposed it. Nothing is more telling of the current political climate than the Biden administration refusing to respect the rights of our military that every House Democrat on the Committee voted for,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until someone is able to be held liable for any negative impact from the vaccine, I don’t think anyone should be forced to take the vaccine. The range of reactions to the vaccine is as wide as the range of the coronavirus–everything from sniffles and feeling tired to hospitalization. Refusing the vaccine should not result in a dishonorable discharge. This is just another example of inappropriate coercion on the part of the Biden administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
