WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday that the U.S. military will no longer require all American troops to get the flu vaccine, citing “medical autonomy” and religious freedom.

He said American service members are free to get the flu vaccine but will not be forced to “because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.”

Who in this current administration isn't batshit crazy?
 
The Congressional Research Service listed eight mandatory vaccines for service members in a 2021 report. They included vaccines for the flu, polio and tetanus as well as the measles and hepatitis A and B.

Service members could request to opt out of a vaccine requirement for religious reasons, the report stated. But the unit commander was required to seek input from medical and religious representatives, while also counseling the service member on the potential impact on their ability to deploy. A military physician also had to counsel the service member on the benefits and risks of forgoing a required vaccination.

The Congressional Research Service noted that the military instituted its first vaccination program in 1777 when Gen. George Washington directed the inoculation of the Continental Army to protect personnel from smallpox

Too bad for him that there's nothing in Christian doctrine or much of any faith that talks against taking medicine. He must be confusing religious faith with brain-dead opinion. Where is this my body, faith, convictions crap when the issue is birth control or reproductive rights anyway?

Pete Hegseth, the only man who thinks medical autonomy means letting troops dodge vaccines while dodging common sense. Next, he'll argue helmets violate religious freedom because God loves a good head injury.

He's an idiot who would have been shot in the back of the head in Vietnam because he's a danger to his troops.
