Biden Admin 'Strongly Opposes' Amendment Protecting Discharge Status of Troops Who Refuse Vaccine

The Biden administration said it “strongly opposes” an amendment to the defense budget that prevents the Pentagon from dishonorably discharging service members who do not want to receive the Covid vaccine.

Last month, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin mandated vaccines for all service members, saying “mission-critical inoculation is almost as old as the U.S. military itself.” The move came after the FDA approved the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine.

The Office of Management and Budget said if the amendment were to be implemented, it would "detract from readiness and limit a commander's options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination."

Military members receive consequences while illegals and congress are held harmless.

Gee, it's almost like it's all about the PUNISHMENT and not the "science".

If the Amendment ever comes to a vote I hope it will be on the record and not a cheap voice vote.
