Joined by a panel of distinguished veterans from various branches of the military, including USMC, US Army, and British Army, we’ll discuss the consequences of non-compliance, the emotional and professional toll, and how the mandate compares to military policies on health and vaccines throughout history. We also explore the new presidential executive order that allows service members discharged for refusing the vaccine to reenlist and receive backpay and benefits—an important development that impacts many veterans. Plus, we take a look at the international perspective, examining how the British military approached COVID vaccine mandates and the broader ethical and legal challenges surrounding mandates in the military. Tune in for insights on what’s changed since the mandate’s repeal, and how this policy may shape the future of military health mandates.
