“Just received this from someone in the military regarding possible compulsory COVID vaccines: ‘Good evening, Congressman. Just thought I’d pass word that >15% of the officers at my command will either retire early or resign their commissions if the mandate is given. Ours is a small command, so I’m not sure how the numbers look across the force. I cannot speak for the % of the enlisted force, but I know numerous senior and critical people who will likewise leave.’ Other members and relatives of other members of the military have contacted me as well. According to the GAO and congressional testimony, there were similar results (departures) when the military mandated the anthrax vaccine” – Rep Tom Massie (R-KY), not specifying which branch of the military this supposed officer is and also leaving out that service members are regularly administered vaccines and boosters for other infectious diseases as part of the job.
