There will be more in all the branches od military including Nat Guard and Reserves. I wonder how many of these people would refuse an order to get vaccinated for small pox, measels.....?
The Air Force has discharged 27 people for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, making them what officials believe are the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate to get the shots.
The Pentagon earlier this year required the vaccine for all members of the military, including active duty, National Guard, and the Reserves. Each of the services set its own deadlines and procedures for the mandate, and the Air Force set the earliest deadline.
For those who refused to obey a lawful order to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, commanders decided to take appropriate administrative and disciplinary actions consistent with law and Department of the Air Force policy.
The members being subject to administrative discharge proceedings and service characterization will be governed by the applicable policies.
