RT : All active duty soldiers are expected to be vaccinated by Dec. 15, the US Army says.

Good. As a Nam Vet we took so many different shots not even knowing what they where for. Said for our protection !

Speed it up

It's only September and the pandemic rages on...why not sooner like the end of next week?

Good call

I'm all for it.

I can promise you, most already have been vaccinated. When I was in the military, you took shots and no questions asked!

Communism

God help the military. This vaccine is dangerous and it only a matter of time till people start to see that.

Bravo!

No they're discharging those that fought for our country and refusing the benefits they earned. All because of a virus they have a 0.1% chance of getting sick from.

We had more suicides then covid death in the miltary since covid started.

Every person who hadn’t gotten the shot yet bc they were opposed to it are now getting it in my husband’s unit. Only 1 Marine came to him to try to argue the point, he told him either get the first shot by the end of the day or I’m processing you for separation. He got his shot.

It’s a shame that our military turning to sheep.

Everbody but the leaders get the vaccine. Hmmm 🧐, sounds suspicious.

Should not take that long

Them why not sooner?

He made the decision after consulting with the Chinese General.

JoelleNemecek Too late

No it isn’t

Not even soldiers are safe from choice

🙋🏾‍♂️How many active duty soldiers have contracted CoVid?

awelab1956 Why not sooner?!

The citizens of New York have spoken and they don’t want to be pressured into something that they don’t feel comfortable with can’t blame them.

*vaccine hesitant*? Have governments & MSM avoided simple questions from the start (Ct, cases with context, died from v with)? Have Governments / Bigpharma / WHO tried to 'convince' people before? Swine Flu *scandal* - 2009 4 minute MSM video:

Good

Good

How wish I come across this opportunity long ago, it would have been huge now. You've corrected that step now, thanks for your good works LindaStouffes

I was an Air Force brat. That’s how it rolls. Mandatory Sabine Polio vaccine for elementary school kids. In fact took the three doses on base elementary school. Wheeler AFB, Oahu, Hawaii, I’m guessing 1961.

I would hope that every service-member gets a full and complete physical prior to being dosed; labs, EKGs... everything. Given that Big Pharma can't be sued for adverse side-effects, they need a solid 'before' baseline to help with any potential VA disability ratings.

Why the hell not!?! You get like 15 vaccines already when you go through intake.

As they are with every vaccine. And if they leave, sad, but good. We don’t need political hacks serving in uniform.

jjim_smith

How many quit? 🤣

Let's get that military roundup the right has been whining about and get them vaccinated.

Why is congress exempt

Right on we don't want any more of these gravestones...

Why not Medicaid recipients ?

GET VAXXED OR GET OUT

Thank you.

Excellent
