Gaetz Highlights Troops Fighting Biden's DOD Vaccine Mandate

Rep. Matt Gaetz this week on his podcast highlighted the plight of active duty service members who are fighting the Biden administration's coronavirus vaccine mandate for the military.

Gaetz featured three active duty members suing the Biden administration for the mandate, which Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered last August.

Despite a broad reduction of pandemic-related restrictions by cities and businesses across the country, and despite the low number of service member deaths due to the coronavirus, the Biden administration is insisting that troops continue to get vaccinated or face discharge.

Gaetz said the committee he serves on, the House Armed Services Committee, should be concerned about whether the mandate is affecting military readiness.

Kupper said according to the DOD's own numbers, there have only been 95 service members lost to COVID, versus more than 3,200 kicked out of the military for not taking the vaccine.

Kupper said he would like to see Congress and the government hold the Department of Defense accountable to the law, asserting that the vaccine members of the military are required to take is Pfizer and not the FDA-approved vaccine known as Comirnaty.

Gaetz said he will introduce amendments to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which authorizes DOD actives, to ban any mandate for experimental vaccines for the coronavirus vaccine as it applies to the military, and that he will also be filing an amendment to restore to rank and pay anyone who was forced to leave the military or coerced to leave the military over the mandate.
