This pisses me off so much that I’m not sure what to add to it:

McCarthy vows military vaccine mandate will end or national defense bill won't move forward McCarthy says 'first victory of having a Republican majority' is ending military vaccine mandate

It will mean the end of an effective fighting force for the U.S. if this is allowed to happen. The U.S. military has been vaccinating its soldier, sailors, marines, and airmen since vaccines were first available. The military gets that the spread of communicable diseases through the military is a sure fire way to to cripple your armed forces. It’s why they spend money on vaccine development.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the military’s vaccine mandate will be lifted or the national defense bill will not move forward. "We're working through what is the [National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)], the national defense bill, we will secure lifting that vaccine mandate on our military. Because what we're finding is, they're kicking out men and women that have been serving. … That's the first victory of having a Republican majority, and we'd like to have more of those victories, and we should start moving those now," McCarthy told host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."

According to FOX, Biden is “considering” abandoning the COVID-19 mandate. It’s FOX, so I am thinking this is BS. Or Biden’s people said, “Sure. We will consider it. And we did. And NO.”

By the way, I am looking at this as ALL VACCINE MANDATES as being dropped.

I’m not sure how many so called military loving House Republicans will want to go on the record to not funding the military, but you can NEVER put anything past this bunch of fucking lunatics.
