    The military doesn't ask what the troops prefer to do, they just tell them what to do. If they are told to take the vaccine, they will take it. They have already been given six shots during boot camp, and no one asked them if they wanted them or not. Allergy issue it one thing, but other than that it is not optional.

    The Pfizer BioNtech vaccine and the Pfizer 'Cominarty' vaccine are the same vaccine with the same ingredients and same manufacturing process, but they are still two legally distinct products. Cominarty recieved FDA approval, but is not widely available yet. The Pfizer BioNtech vaccine that has been administered under emergency use is still widely available, but has not been approved by the FDA (and presumably will not be, since Cominarty was). The distinction between the two is (supposedly) entirely a legal distinction. But as far as mandates for the troops go, only Cominarty can legally be mandated because BioNtech is still technically (legally) 'experimental.' So the question is- is the FDA approved Cominarty available for the military, or still just the experimental BioNtech?

    So they've done years of research on it do they have a time machine?

    Yeah it's still experimental.

    You've provided no proof of that.

    The question you ask is the more pertinent one. That hasn't been addressed.

    I'm glad he recovered and hope he doesn't develop any long COVID problems.

    I find that most people really don't care that people have the right to make this choice for themselves. I can't share names but I've received personal messages in which people are absolutely willing to stand behind the military being put in control and forcibly giving people these vaccinations.

    It doesn't help that our medical professionals try to act elitist and pretend they know better than we do about our own bodies. Sure, they have more book knowledge but nobody knows *you* better than you. And, as you stated, why in the world would somebody want to play Russian Roulette with ANY vaccine. medication, surgery or anything else related to their body when everybody is pre-absolved if things go off the rails?

    Not for EUA, and not against a disease with a 99% survival rate.

    The mandate applies to all federal employees. Lots of federal employees are not now or going to become vaccinated. Xoe could become the most successful cutter of federal jobs ever.
