Over 500 Active Duty Service Members Discharged Due to Coronavirus Vaccine Mandate

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 27 Jan 2022

More than 500 active duty service members across branches have been discharged for refusing to comply with the military’s coronavirus vaccine mandate.

The Marines discharged the most members among the branches at 339, according to the most recent data. The Air Force discharged 111 members, while the Navy discharged 45.

The Army said it has not “involuntarily separated any Soldiers solely for refusing the lawful order to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.” However, the Army plans to segregate unvaccinated soldiers from the vaccinated.

“As previously announced, this month Army officials intend to issue further guidance for the mandatory initiation of separation for Soldiers who refuse this lawful order,” an Army press release said.

Each branch reports over 90 percent compliance with the coronavirus vaccine mandate. The Marines have the lowest level of compliance, with 95 percent of Marines being fully vaccinated. In the Army, 96 percent are fully vaccinated. Both the Navy and Air Force report a 98 percent vaccination rate.

Marines Reject COVID Vaccine Exemptions, Potentially Forcing Thousands Out of Service     

Just three Marines who requested a religious exemption to the legally mandated coronavirus vaccine have had their requests granted by military brass, leaving scores of active-duty service members facing expulsion from the force, according to Navy information provided to Congress.

The Marines who had their religious exemption requests granted were slated to leave the service in the coming weeks. Out of 3,428 reported requests for a religious pass, none were granted to active-duty service members who are planning to remain in the service longer than six months. The disclosure, made to Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) in a Jan. 21 letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, is prompting accusations that Marine brass are rejecting religious exemption requests and forcing active-duty Marines out of the service.

"The Biden military vaccine mandate is destroying the morale of our troops, careers of honor, and lives of service," Issa, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told the Free Beacon. "And now we know it has corrupted a part of the military itself through the wholesale denial of legitimate religious accommodations."..........

Japan couldn't eliminate our military... neither could the Germans. Our military survived the Viet Cong, the Taliban, ISIS, Chinese and Koreans. But now the liberal Democrat may destroy our military... without firing a shot. Just by enforcing their China Virus Tyranny. Insidious... very insidious.
