| Biden Mulls Vax Mandate For All US Military After Huge Numbers Refused |
| 2021-05-01 |
| [ZERO] President Biden told NBC News in an interview which broadcast Friday that he's mulling ordering all US military personnel to get a COVID-19 vaccine as commander-in-chief. "I’m not saying I won’t" rule it out, he emphasized in the new interview. This would also mean that anyone wanting to enter military service would have to receive the jab as a requirement to get in, which would likely cause a blow to military recruitment in the near-term. However, he didn't outright say he's ready to pull the trigger on the policy, which if enacted would constitute the largest federal government-ordered mandate in terms of forcing the vaccine on some 1.3 million active duty service members, not to mention over one million more reserve personnel. |

| #9 I do not believe that when the government steals my money to do something I have objected to and voted against that I am participating... I think that sets the bar for "participation" far too low. |

| #8 refuse the vaccine on religious grounds. You forget these people firmly believe they can force you to participate in abortions and weddings which are against your faith. (Yes when you pay for an abortion you are participating.) |

| #4 Which made me think of the possibility (probability) of a vaccine passport. Would PCS's/TCS's/TDY's be affected should personnel refuse the vaccine/medical device? Status of Forces agreements? |

| #2 I seem to recall that as a result the situations Procopius2k lists, the DoD can no longer require troops to be vaccinated. Do I misunderstand? |
