While still the minority, it is still a large number. And a number that should be much smaller as these people are used to doing whatever the government tells them, that’s their job. This is also after all the those who were self declared Trump supporters were forced out. That puts the Biden admin in a very strange position.
Most things in the military is mandatory, and most soldiers comply as resisting would mean discipline or even being kicked out. Mandatory shot lines are a real thing before deployment. Soldiers line up state their name, and get their shot in the line, one after another.
The rumors from inside the military is that there is major pressure inside the service to get the shots and officers are being told if they don’t get it, their career is basically over. So while not mandatory, as that would be illegal for the Biden Admin to do, they are finding other ways to force the shots.
Another rumor from anonymous enlisted servicemen is that the stats are wrong. They claim it is closer to 85% and not 40% who are refusing. Which makes sense as political polls are typically way off. Take the polls that said Hillary would win, or that Biden’s State of the Union received an 85% approval rating. Both of those polls were clearly wrong.
Why are they refusing the vaccine?
We’ll try and get someone to give a non anonymous answer, but they are afraid they’ll lose their jobs.
Most likely the same reason many people are. The vaccine is unproven. Life insurance wont pay out if something bad happens because of it, neither will health insurance because it’s untested. Additionally the Government gave special protections to the Vaccine makers so nobody can sue them if things do go bad.
For these main reasons the risk is too high when the risk of COVID to them is lower in many people’s eyes. It’s hard to argue against as well, thus the reason they are now trying to force everyone to take it.
Thank you concerned for your knowledgeable answer, O hadn’t realized all of that.
Why would you inject a dna altering drug for an illness that has a 99.96% chance of survival? Only a sheeple would take it.
