Destroyer can’t deploy because CO won’t get COVID vaccine, Navy says

NavyTimes: An ongoing legal battle over whether the military can force troops to get vaccinated against COVID-19 has left the Navy with a warship they say they can’t deploy because it is commanded by an officer they cannot fire.

It’s a standoff the brass are calling a “manifest national security concern,” according to recent federal court filings.

The issues stem from a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida late last year alleging servicemembers’ rights are being infringed upon by the COVID vaccine mandate because their religious beliefs prevent them from taking the vaccine.

Judge Steven D. Merryday issue an order last month banning the Navy and Marine Corps from taking any disciplinary action against the unnamed Navy warship commander and a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel for refusing the vaccine. more

  1. Time to fire every Naval officer who does not have the courage to stand up to Team Biden and his Chinese allies. If experts are correct, Graphene Oxide in the suicide jab is going to wipe out our military.

  2. Something sounds more than a little fishy here. One jackass judge can put control on the military? National Security comes second to a stupid court case. This judge should be hung for treason.
