Rep. Thomas Massie Sponsors Bill to End Military Vaccine Mandate
Thomas Massie

Members of Congress, led by U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), have introduced legislation to end the U.S. Armed Forces’ tyrannical and senseless vaccine mandate for service members.

Since COVID-19 spread to the United States, there has been a full-on assault on both the nation and Americans’ God-given freedoms, with totalitarian actions such as lockdowns, forced church and business closures, mask and vaccine mandates, and more. The Marxist Left won’t end this assault until they have total control over all humanity. Accordingly, their crusade extends to the U.S. Armed Forces.

In early August, the Department of Defense announced it would mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for all U.S. service members, following up with a more detailed order that every branch quickly implemented. Soldiers and sailors who decline the shot could lose all their benefits, and the Biden administration is pushing for them to be dishonorably discharged. Some have even been threatened with being court-martialed if they refuse to take the jab.

According to service members themselves, not only is the Biden administration taking an unscientific and senseless “vax everyone at all costs position,” but it is disregarding exemption requests for medical and religious reasons. According to service members, many members will be driven out because of the mandate; it could also hamper recruitment. Other law-enforcement agencies, such as the U.S. Border Patrol, are experiencing the same consequences, creating a dire threat to U.S. national security.

In response, Representative Massie introduced H.R. 3860. The bill has been cosponsored by 36 representatives.

If passed, H.R. 3860 would prohibit the Pentagon from mandating vaccines for service members. Specifically, it would accomplish this in two ways: by prohibiting the use of funds to mandate COVID vaccinations, and by prohibiting “any adverse action against” those who decline the vaccine.

H.R. 3860 defines “adverse action” as:

(A) Retaliation.

(B) Punishment.

(C) Disparate treatment.

(D) A requirement to wear a mask.

(E) A requirement to reside in substandard housing.

In other words, the bill effectively prevents the subjugation of service members to vaccination mandates.

If freedom-loving Americans are to stop the imposition of a biomedical security state, it is necessary to take immediate and organized action. In addition to following Senator Rand Paul’s advice and “simply say[ing] no” to the various COVID restrictions, this involves putting pressure on our U.S. representatives and senators to forcefully oppose the Pentagon’s vaccine mandate and every other type of medical tyranny. Through education and effective organization, Americans can defeat the onslaught of COVID tyranny in the United States.
