The provisions contained within paragraph 3.a of this MARADMIN constitute a lawful general order and any violation of these provisions is punishable as a violation of Article 92 of ref (i). Marines shall take action to fully immunize themselves against COVID-19 per ref (j). Paragraph 3.a is punitive and applies without further implementation. Commanders, commanding officers, and officers in charge shall issue appropriate orders to ensure that their Marines and Sailors are fully vaccinated. In accordance with Rule for Court Martial 306 of ref (n), initial disposition authority for cases arising from COVID-19 vaccine refusals is withheld to the general court-martial convening authority level except that administrative counseling pursuant to paragraph 6105 of ref (k) may be issued at the special court martial convening authority level.

So apparently they're officially setting up to blame every potentially vaccine related fatality on Covid itself.
ReplyDelete"5.d.4. Cases of COVID-19, following vaccination, that result in hospitalization or death.
6.a. COVID-19-related hospitalization or death, post-vaccination. In addition to the requirements of paragraph 5.e, commands will report to the Marine Corps COVID-19 Cell, at SMB_HQMC_MCCAT@USMC.MIL all instances of a vaccinated service member, regardless of the number of doses received, who is subsequently hospitalized with, or dies from, COVID-19 disease."

DeleteThey'll just change the results to their liking.
While I DO NOT RECOMMEND that young heal people be vaccinated....and virtually ALL .Mil personnel would be considered young and healthy....I don't see a legal way around it. When you sign up for the service you VOLUNTARILY relinquish much of your freedom and Rights. When you enter basic training you receive a battery of shots including vaccinations for myriad different diseases. This would be just one more...and I suspect that from now on a Covid vaccine will be added to the standard battery of shots received at boot camp. I don't approve but can't see a legal way for service people to avoid it.
ReplyDeleteNow....having said that I will state this is the STUPIDEST decision imaginable. The number of deaths from the vaccine(s) will be at LEAST triple the number of deaths suffered by service personnel from actual Covid illness. And there can be no way of knowing how many will suffer long term health problems from it. So unless the WILLFUL debilitation and compromise of our fighting forces is INTENTIONAL this is an insanely stupid edict.

DeleteGood points.
