The federal law prohibiting mandatory military vaccination before full FDA approval is designed to prevent the military from being used as a test bed for medical treatments before their use in the general population. In the current situation, though, civilians are already being vaccinated, so the military isn’t being asked to do something to prove the case for general use. Moreover, the operational readiness of military units would be compromised by coronavirus outbreaks. Finally, many service men and women live among civilian communities and could be vectors for spread of the disease.
The opinion expressed by this author is irrelevant, the law is the law, there's no "but but but"
>Though the military requires troops to receive many vaccinations, federal law prohibits the Pentagon from mandating those without full FDA approval. The president has the authority to bypass the restriction and require troops to get the shot, but Biden has not done so.
The traitor in chief will certainly bypass the restriction
It'll still get litigated, and we'll see how the courts side. At the very least, it ought to be entertaining listening to the federal government argue against their own statements like "The vaccine shot doesn't stop you from catching covid, getting sick, or transmitting it." Or attempt to say it's safe when presented with their own publicly available data that shows it's not safe.
And Biden says the vaccine will be approved around Labor Day which coincides with this date.
I highly doubt the FDA will approve all vaccines in one go, now maybe they'll approve one or two, in which case the grunts are fucked
I believe Pfizer is first from the “all hands on deck” statement from the fda for a September approval.
Yup, once one is approved it’s over for them and a lot of people in private businesses.
Guess that means we can expect full FDA approval before 9/15 then. Nice when they leave breadcrumbs, eh?
