U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. discussed his longstanding efforts opposing the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 military vaccine mandate during a press conference today. Thanks to advocacy by Senator Marshall and his colleagues, the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes a provision that halts the Department of Defense (DOD) from forcing servicemembers to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Last year, Senator Marshall led successful efforts to ensure that service members who refused the COVID-19 vaccine did not receive a dishonorable discharge.
During the press conference, Senator Marshall said in part,
“America is ashamed of how this White House is treating our soldiers…I’m so proud of this caucus, the people standing beside me, who helped us stop the dishonorable discharge, but that is not enough. Now we need to stop this vaccine mandate, we need to give the soldiers back pay and their families the back pay that they deserve as well… We know that the complication risk, especially for young, healthy men is extremely high from the vaccine causing pericarditis and other autoimmune problems. And now we want to still kick them out of the military because they refused the vaccine? America was led down a path of lies and deception by Dr. Fauci, the NIH, the CDC…”

If Biden and his gang really believe the military needs the Covid shot for health reasons, then the government should force illegal immigrants to take the jab before they enter the US.
