RT – April 29, 2022<\/p>\n
The US government is still mandating all members of the military to get a Covid-19 vaccine and discharging those who refuse \u2013 even on religious grounds \u2013 in what amounts to a deliberate purge of troops with beliefs the current Pentagon considers wrong, a sergeant and two officers told the podcast hosted by Republican congressman Matt Gaetz on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Gaetz (R-Florida), who hosts a\u00a0podcast<\/a> called \u2018Firebrand,\u2019 said he wants to propose an amendment that would ban mandates for experimental vaccines and restore rank and pay to those forced to leave the military, but admitted that some of his Republican colleagues might not support it, not to mention the majority Democrats.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you are a believer and you are listening to this podcast, you need to understand that God-fearing service members are being intentionally purged from the services,\u201d<\/em> said one of his guests, Air Force Captain Jordan Karr.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a purposeful purge,\u201d<\/em> argued Army Major Samuel Sigoloff. \u201cAnyone who would disobey an unlawful order is being purged out of the military,\u201d<\/em> he added, alleging there is a \u201cshadow policy\u201d<\/em> in place to protect the leadership doing this.<\/p>\n Karr, Sigoloff and Air Force Master Sergeant Nickolas Krupper made their case against the mandate by bringing up religious freedom, natural immunity, and the discrepancy between the jabs used under emergency authorization and the one officially approved, which technically isn\u2019t available in the US.<\/p>\n Though they are legally distinct, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance<\/a> says that Pfizer\u2019s emergency-use vaccine and the officially approved Comirnaty \u201ccan be used interchangeably\u2026 without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n All three service members face \u201cinvoluntary separation\u201d<\/em> over their refusal to get the jab, but have sued the Defense Department on religious exemption grounds. They technically remain on active duty until the lawsuits are resolved. Sergeant Krupper pointed out he is two years away from retirement and would lose his pension and family medical benefits if the USAF kicks him out.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.rt.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RT – April 29, 2022 The US government is still mandating all members of the military to get a Covid-19 vaccine and discharging those who refuse \u2013 even on religious grounds \u2013 in what amounts to a deliberate purge of troops with beliefs the current Pentagon considers wrong, a sergeant and two officers told the … Continue reading Troops accuse Pentagon of \u2018religious purge\u2019<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[16],"tags":[16655,175,16653,2251,16656,16654,471,297,3443,16657,713],"class_list":["post-20938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-white-horse","tag-captain-jordan-karr","tag-christianity","tag-covid-19-vaccine","tag-fda","tag-major-samuel-sigoloff","tag-matt-gaetz","tag-military","tag-pentagon","tag-religious-freedom","tag-sergeant-nickolas-krupper","tag-us-government"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8fAkI-5rI","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20938"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20940,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20938\/revisions\/20940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
