Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to seek authorization to make Covid-19 vaccines mandatory for all active duty troops as soon as this week, following President Joe Biden’s directive that the military examine how and when it could make that happen.

If the Secretary makes that final recommendation, he could seek a presidential waiver to allow the vaccine to be administered to troops before full approval by the Food and Drug Administration. A Pentagon decision and recommendation on how to proceed could come this week, several officials say.

So...what happens to the active duty antivaxxers if they refuse?

Probably a other then honarable discharge for refusing to follow orders.

The military is not a democracy.

There aren't any active duty antivaxxers. They may not like this particular vaccination, but if they were true antivaxxers, they wouldn't have made it through accession training.

And the military has always had ways of handling people who refuse general orders.

As though the military hasn't had mandatory vaccinations since vaccines were invented. I was required to take the Swine Flu vaccination even after it was discovered to kill people.

I just had to laugh. I can see all the soldiers, sailors, marines and fliers sitting around crying about having to take a vaccine.

Yes, but many, if not most people were just fine with vaccines until the pandemic hit. This last year has brought the conspiracy nuts to the surface. I have to believe there are a good number of red hats in the ranks that are going to bristle at this. For all the good it will do them.

This is not actually a vaccine. It is an experimental treatment that has had very negative side effects on younger people. And that is just after a short time. The longer term effects are of course not known.

Also, for those other shots, all of these troops had the opportunity to not sign up if they did not want to get them. In this case, they need to offer everyone the option of an honorable discharge, allowing them to leave the military rather than get the shot. If they do not offer that option, then these monsters will be guilty of violating the medical standards established in the Nuremberg trials, which ended with many Nazi leaders being hung with piano wire.

This is not some sort of benign or benevolent action here. If they go through with it, it will be an act of coercion in any case. This is really nasty stuff being contemplated by some seriously despicable people.
