Re the soldier /marine ? who would rather die before getting this "medical procedure" - COVID vaccine.


He's quite safe. No probs.  Just won't be a soldier any more.


The US army routinely vaccinates  it's soldiers against a wide range of diseases.. It is regarded as an essential form of protection  for the individual soldier and the whole corp.To date COVID has infected  238,000 soldiers with 46 deaths.


This is the procedure they are following.

But the near-eradication of many of these diseases within the United States, the nascent environmentalist movement and growing distrust in the U.S. government following the Vietnam War reinvigorated the anti-vaccination movement in United States, which dated back to the late 19th century. On the matter of civil liberties and informed consent, this movement found itself at odds with the Supreme Court, which had upheld vaccine requirements in 1905 in Jacobson v. Massachusetts. The court explained that “Society based on the rule that each one is a law unto himself would soon be confronted with disorder and anarchy. Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own, whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others.” In sum, U.S. states and other government entities could compel vaccination for the public good, but states were free to develop their own laws individually.


In the 1980s, the military responded to this growing anti-vaccination movement by standardizing its vaccination schedule for inductees and opting to require further vaccinations based upon global deployments. Currently, as part of initial entry training, service members are mandated to receive chickenpox; hepatitis A; hepatitis B; seasonal influenza; mumps, measles and rubella; polio; diphtheria; tetanus; and pertussis vaccinations.
