I know in one of our "Commander in Chiefs" recent bumbling Hitler wannabe addresses he bumped the timeline of Covid19 vaccination for the military up to immediately, or as soon as possible, instead of the later set date.
I know our military gets pumped full of all sorts of things. But it seemed like there was talk that this jab was/is a "line in the sand©️". Some talk of the possibility of dissertation. I haven't heard or seen any updates on this situation. But I'm sure anything negative would be buried. And and awols would be rounded up quick and thrown in jail.
I find the whole forced vaccines of any stripe disturbing. But I'm o lne of those whacks that finds the government involving themselves in healthcare and funding science in general disturbing.
Not saying every scientist and or doctor is guilty of it but I bet a lot of them find exactly what the goverment wants them to find so they can keep working. Its messed up but in a way I do understand why they would do that. At the end of the day we all have mouths to feed, a mortgage/rent, and a s.o. to keep happy. Lifes tough in the first world.*sarcasm*
It's a strange world we are living in. I hope all of you stay safe and try to stay sanish.

Yea but now we have 2 potential vaccine resistant variants, personally I put in for retirement for a couple reasons but this was in there.

Considering they had to change the definition of the term vaccine specifically for these vaccines, I would say that alone is a good reason to be able to refuse.

Not really. Member can pursue religious accommodation or a medical exemption. What you mentioned doesn’t fall into either.

I'd say there is a good argument with it that can be had and won in court.
The definition of vaccine when they signed up was not what it is now. These covid vaccines are not vaccines in the same sense. They can't change a definition of the term AND hold anyone to their original contract. They can have you sign a new one with the updated terminology, but if anyone can change the definition of a term in a contract then without repercussion then we would have a MUCH bigger problem.

There is no court in the US that will hear this though. Military courts and there to enforce military law/policy and the policy is for members to get the vaccine. Military members can’t sue on Federal Court due to Feres doctrine. So there really no other way, get the vaccine, get an exemption or get separated.

I don’t think you understand the precedent of the Anthrax Vaccination Program. DoD back then made it mandatory while it was in EUA status back in 1999. Military members (at that time ironically were many leftist members) sued and won in court to have it stopped (ironically also by dear Judge Emmet Sullivan). Judge Sullivan stopped the program in 2004 on two grounds:
1. It was not approved by the FDA
2. It broke the doctrine of informed consent
Once the FDA approved the vaccine the program restarted on 2006.
This time around the government waited until the FDA had approved the vaccine to make it mandatory. So no argument can be made that it is experimental. The services are offering medical and religious exemptions though.

Exactly.
Similarly, what if they changed the contract to make time in service 10 years AFTER you signed up for 4?

I mean you can sue for anything in this country. Doesn’t mean it will anywhere.
