According to a report by the Associated Press, thousands and thousands of U.S. service members are rejecting or delaying getting their Covid vaccines. This has angered commanders as they are looking to quench ‘internet rumors’ and persuade them to reconsider.
Some Army units units are seeing as few as one-third agree to the vaccine.
Military leaders have noticed a trend with those that are choosing to be vaccinated: imminent deployment. Navy sailors deployed out to seas last week choose to take the shot by 80% to 90%.
Up to two-thirds of service members that were offered the shot accepted, says Air Force Maj. Gen. Jeff Taliaferro, vice director of operations for the Joint Staff.
A recent survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation says those rates are higher than the general population of roughly 50%.
We’re still struggling with what is the messaging and how do we influence people to opt in for the vaccine.
Brig. Gen. Edward Bailey. The surgeon for Army Forces Command.
According to him, acceptance rates between units are all over the map with some at 30% while others are at 70%.
Fort Bragg, North Carolina, a station where thousands are preparing to be deployed, the vaccine acceptance rate is no more than 60%. That’s “not as high as we would hope for front-line personnel,” he said.
Bailey says he has heard numerous excuses.
I think the most amusing one I heard was, ‘The Army always tells me what to do, they gave me a choice, so I said no.’
Because the rejection rate of the vaccine is all over the map, with a wide variety of factors at play, officers are having tough time as to how to persuade the troops otherwise. However, the vaccine will inevitably be made mandatory.
We cannot make it mandatory yet. I can tell you we’re probably going to make it mandatory as soon as we can, just like we do with the flu vaccine.
Vice Adm. Andrew Lewis. Commander of the Navy’s 2nd Fleet
According to the report, About 40 Marines gathered recently in a California conference room for an information session from medical staff. One officer, who was not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Marines are more comfortable posing questions about the vaccine in smaller groups.
One marine, according to an officer, believes the ‘conspiracy theory’ that the “thing is actually a tracking device.” The officer said the medical staff said they quickly debunked it, ‘and pointed to the Marine’s cellphone, noting that it’s an effective tracker.’
Side effects and health concerns, especially pregnant women, seemed to the one of the more frequent common denominators across the branches of military.
Referring to smaller and younger units among the Marines, Bailey said,
What they’re not seeing is that 20-year-olds who’ve actually gotten very sick, have been hospitalized or die, or the folks who appear to be fine but then it turns out they’ve developed pulmonary and cardiac abnormalities.
The rest of the report continues,
Bailey said the Army is seeing opportunities to reduce the two-week quarantine period for units deploying to Europe if service members are largely vaccinated and the host nation agrees. U.S. Army Europe may cut the quarantine time to five days if 70% of the unit is vaccinated, and that incentive could work, he said.
The acceptance numbers drop off among those who are not deploying, military officials said.
When they asked me how it felt, I said it was a lot less painful than some of the meetings I go to in the Pentagon.
Gen. James McConville. The Army’s chief of staff
Col. Jody Dugai, commander of the Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital at Fort Polk, Louisiana, said that so far conversations at the squad level, with eight to 10 peers, have been successful, and that getting more information helps.
At the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Brig. Gen. David Doyle, has a dual challenge. As base commander, he must persuade the nearly 7,500 soldiers on base to get the shot and he needs to ensure that the thousands of troops that cycle in and out for training exercises are safe.
Doyle said the acceptance rate on his base is between 30% and 40%, and that most often it’s the younger troops who decline.
They tell me they don’t have high confidence in the vaccine because they believe it was done too quickly.
Brig. Gen. David Doyle
Doyle said it appears peers are often more influential than leaders in persuading troops — a sentiment echoed by Bailey, the Army Forces Command surgeon.
We’re trying to figure out who the influencers are. Is it a squad leader or platoon sergeant in the Army? I think it probably is. Someone who is more of their age and interacts with them more on a regular basis versus the general officer who takes his picture and says, ‘I got the shot.’
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
We reported over a month ago how frontline workers were refusing to take the vaccines. Now the media is reporting that a lot of troops in the military are not interested either. The media keeps shooting itself in the foot with its own propaganda.
Let’s keep praying that the media continually screws themselves up once more.
[1] A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. [2] Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. [3] Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. [4] Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. [5] Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. [6] Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. [7] For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. [8] Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. [9] And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. [10] All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?Psalm 35:1-10
Just as the Generals were saying, the vaccine will be pretty much guaranteed that it will be mandatory. The emergency use authorization is momentarily preventing them from making mandatory, but, unfortunately, I think that will become the reality for the troops. I hope that it does not.
In the meantime the military will now have to up the ante on the propaganda for the troops, or put many more of them through overseas deployment.
The marine that made the objection that the vaccine is a tracking device in not entirely wrong. The answer given by the medical staff and relayed by the general does not make sense; but The WinePress has documented that vaccine recipients are in fact tracked with precise accuracy for up to two years.
But this report proves that less people than the surveys have let on, want the vaccine. They are seeing more and more of the effects and deaths beginning to pile up, so many of the masses are quietly foregoing the vaccine. Therefore, the government and media will be ramping even more propaganda and staging events to get more vaccinated.

What better way to take the greatest army the world has ever seen out of the way now that its purpose of policing the world for the UN until its freedom became an issue & the only remaining impediment to the next step in the planners plan, & the spirit behind them….both deluded that they are ‘getting away with something’ when they are only fulfilling the scriptures to a ‘t’ on the wrong side of it.

Reminds me of the case of Dinah, and we know what the woman is the type of. How Simeon & Levi deceived the men of Shechem who corrupted & defiled her, and judged them presumptuously with the sword…bloody men. Perhaps a type of what men who had the word as 2 Peter 2, Jude and Revelation 17&18 but turned to crusade and empire, the Arian error of all pagans, yea, hath God said? corrupting & confounding the word; ye shall not surely die, flattering & leading men to presume & tempt God; and the ultimate delusion & presumption: ye shall be as gods. Americans forgot what our Bill of Rights signified historically & biblically in escaping Rome’s global empire & counsels, bloodiness, tyranny & ritualistic Mammon craft.

Jacob said of his sons that they had made him a ‘stink’ among the inhabitants of the land: Revelation 18 ? The military and federal policing agencies are full of Catholics & ‘spiritual, but not doctrinal’ social justice ecumenists uniting in absolutely pagan & Augustinian Catholic mysticism. They claim to be opposites, left and right, and enemies, but the common ground of mysticism & using the word of God as a rod like Jannes and Jambres by the power of Satan will, & is, drawing them together. We are able to participate in the institutions of men with integrity less & less as they ‘spiritualize’ them. The light was covered & shadowed, corrupted & the salt is without savour: what is it good for? So sobering. To the Jew first & then to the Greek applies to the sober warning of Romans 11 as well as to the offering of the Gospel & being entrusted with the oracles of God.

I have mentioned Jeffrey Prather, former DEA/DIA & working in some capacity with military spec ops, in this forum, with caveat for caution with regard to spiritual things. Yesterday he put up a ‘training’ and ‘initiation’ under men who have trained with him for years in Ohio & Alabama. One a marine & ‘chaplains’ under his chaplaincy which he calls Christ Chaplaincy while teaching unitarian ecumenical spirituality & levels of initiation by native shamans & Eastern martial arts spiritism & craft. Obviously another Christ, and obviously so mingling military & secular with spiritual that no Christian can participate, and the unprepared who know not Christ and the faith according to the scriptures are utterly confused by this endtimes situation with all the cults coming together against the Faithful & True, yet in his name. Powerful confusion & delusion.

Another aspect is the acceptance of sodomy by both ‘sides’ of this thing. The militaristic tends to despise the effeminate and to be male sodomite dominant, while the other picks up & champions kabalist & Babylonian effeminates like Jezebel’s self-castrated priests of Baal, and interestingly, Origen of the corrupt Alexandrian Greek and filthy kabalist Hebrew fables, and the Augustinian/Constantinian Latin. They use masculinity & the ‘pro-life’ movement with cunning for moving men from the Rock to their common ground via other things. The Creation Science movement is prone to this, too. Monkey Werx has added a prophetic teaching aspect to his aviation watch, using the C.S. Lewis/kabalist ‘Lion of Judah’ imagery surrounded by flames, & scenes & mystical, experiential, fleshy music from Jesus movies…powerful craft & corruption that is subtle for those not mature in Christ and studied to shew themselves approved & able to rightly divide. Now we can see the bricks in the road with Marvin Rosenthal and the spin-off Steven Anderson & such things.

I am particularly saddened by the Ohio/Alabama and military links to this corruption for we had to separate from a KJB church & missions ministry due to the military chaplaincy and increasing 501c3 public policy and state headship issues slowly & gradually encroaching & being bowed to with the warning against union softening over the years, and being influenced by that strange militaristic and effeminate 1-2 step gradual mystifying & introducing ritual as men were removed from the word & God’s order for family destroyed by feminism….& now moving on down further away on the Romans 1, 2 Corinthians 11 slide….covid bowing the last straw. We still support the pastor & missionaries, but our warning to cut losses & separate as the ship foundering with Paul onboard is not welcome with elders, incoming boards & the young: the influence is subtle & watching the impending shipwreck is too painful. We were not immune & have the scars and shipwreck to prove it: this was the 4th & most faithful of four churches we’ve watched infiltrated, and/or gradually influenced by worldliness & corporatist global influences, & there are faithful brethren still there clinging who we are in no condition to judge. These are words of warning to whosoever will hear them now that the fruit of these things is no longer subterranean & visible.

I believe you are correct on how the Godhead/trinity thing will be used, and on your assessment of the dialectic & Rome, but would caution against pride, for all men walk yet in corruptible flesh, & the Lord will allow men who presume to chastisement & consequence. The attacks are subtle & men of integrity can not simply abandon those to whom they have commitments of support, holding the ropes for those who have gone out, as well as to the homefront & mission field. LIke Jesus said, this ye ought to have done & not left the other undone. The traps were laid & baited carefully. …and the subtilty & attacks are increasingly so, and come from differing directions.

Men are returning to Mystery Babylon, and if America retains any dominance in the end: it will be under & in unity with Rome & the antichrist system. We must not lose sight of that & be wary of union with any of these institutions, with our watching from a circumspect & separated distance.
I was a military officer and I say good on those younger Soldiers for such high rejection rates. Look at the VAERS data. If all other Vax data is a control group then the CV19 Vax data is 32x more adverse and 17x more deadly. Look at the data yourself. I did logisticical data analysis.
