House Democrats go Against Biden on Military’s Vaccine Mandate

In spite of Joe Biden’s best efforts, the House is set to repeal the military’s unconstitutional COVID-19 mandate.

House democrats are siding with republicans on this year’s defense policy bill.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would repeal the vaccine mandate for service members.

This bipartisan bill would be a big defeat for the Biden Administration.

While this would result in removing the mandate itself, it would not reinstate those who were discharged for refusing the experimental vaccine.

This is something many hope changes.

Fox News reports on this breaking development:

Congressional Democrats are set to hand President Biden and the White House a defeat on Tuesday by including language within the annual defense policy bill that repeals the coronavirus vaccine mandate for U.S. troops.

Fox News has learned that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will include a provision repealing the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for service members. The bill is expected to be released Wednesday and be voted on by the House later this week.

While the bill will remove the vaccine mandate for U.S. troops, it will not reinstate service members who were discharged or had their benefits slashed for refusing to be immunized against the coronavirus.

The Covid vaccine mandate in the military is wrong.⁰
Our heroes have been fired. Our country is less safe.⁰
I told the President directly—it’s time to end the mandate and rehire our service members.

Our friends at Daily Wire have more on the bipartisan bill:

House Democrats are going to defy President Biden by joining House Republicans to jettison the requirement for military service members to get the COVID vaccine, according to a new report.

The National Defense Authorization Act, the annual defense policy bill, will repeal the COVID vaccine mandate for members of the military; it will be voted on by the House on Friday.

While the bill would remove the vaccine mandate for U.S. troops, it would not reinstate service members who were discharged or had their benefits slashed for refusing to be immunized against COVID.

The White House may not like this development, but most everyone else does:

The COVID vaccine mandate for our troops should've NEVER happened, and it needs to end NOW! The Biden Administration has politicized our military in every way it could, and they want to PUNISH every service member who's hesitant to get the shot. END THE MANDATE NOW!!! pic.twitter.com/0xXvTIT1Wi

Mr. President, you are systematically removing trained warfighters from our military over a vaccine that doesn’t offer more than a few weeks of protection. Your stubbornness on this issue is a national security threat.https://t.co/Hp2EKi9Mot

The Democrats' COVID vaccine mandate must be dropped.

The mandate has discharged thousands of highly capable servicemembers, hurt our recruiting efforts, and decreased military readiness.

The mandate is wrong.

Two years ago, Joe Biden promised not to mandate the vaccine.

Today, 5,700 unvaccinated U.S. military members have been fired.

End the mandate now!

The COVID-19 vaccine mandate for members of the U.S. Military undermines our military readiness and makes it harder to recruit and retain servicemembers. Congress must eliminate @JoeBiden's military vaccine mandate.

Whether the argument is science, military readiness, or freedom, the answer is the same — end the mandates and reinstate those who lost their positions taking this stand. https://t.co/mfhxvF5Ezy

Since the implementation of DOD’s COVID vaccine mandate, military recruiting and retention has seen a staggering drop as more qualified men and women are kept from serving in our nation's armed forces.

This should be alarming to all Americans.

It’s time to end the mandate.
