The Pentagon made the vaccine mandatory for all service members in August and the vast majority of active-duty troops have received at least one dose.
Ann Stefanek, a spokeswoman for the Air Force, said the troops were given a chance to explain why they had refused to get vaccinated, but none of them were given exemptions.About 97% of Air Force personnel are vaccinated against the virus, a number far higher than the general U.S. population. The Air and Space force has about 326,000 active duty personnel.
In total, 79 uniformed military personnel across the different services have died from the coronavirus.
Good!
I think who decide to remove peoples from jobs for non vaccination , they are out of their mind , or they are paid with bribe , or they are jelous .
Whether or not you want to take the vaccine is not the issue. If you accept that governments have the right to exclude people from society to force medical treatments on them, sooner or later, a government you don't trust will be forcing you to take a treatment you don't want.
On a side note.........a young man that died after speeding and crashing on a freeway was found in his wrecked vehicle, in several parts, but he was wearing his mask and had no signs of COVID!
Reading stories like this and then the comments.....and the side of those commenting......speaks volumes about the political parties in the USA. Democrats are simply hate-filled people.
DanJack45260569 Okay, is it just me or does “27” seem like a really low number for an entire branch of the service?
End of freedom. Americans are corporate slaves. Idiots are not sown in the field, they are born themselves.
Good. The pandemic silver lining is weeding out the right wing nuts from our police and military.
The US democracy in action

Government cleansing

Vaccine mandates don't work, right? Good job.
Stay strong Airmen! Thank you for your service, now serve God. - Before Covid hit, I was blessed with a message -
Good!.it’s a wake-up call to those force members to know their military history of WWl.
27 lives saved!!
Great news. Good riddance.
'The service operates more than 5,369 military aircraft and 406 ICBMs. It has a $156.3 billion budget and is the second largest service branch, with **329,614** active duty airmen, 172,857 civilian personnel, 69,056 reserve airmen, and 107,414 Air National Guard airmen.'
Why give them a chance to explain if you didn't exempt anyone...lol
