Sec.: \u201cNo Mandatory Vaccinations for My Marines.\u201d &#8211; best news here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Marine Corps General David H. Berger on Monday rebuked Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin\u2019s edict requiring all Armed Forces personnel to submit to Covid-19 vaccinations under threat of court martial or discharge, said a source in Gen. Berger\u2019s office who overheard a heated conversation between them.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Berger telephoned the defense secretary minutes after he said in a press conference that the Covid-19 vaccination is needed to maintain military readiness and that he would enforce the mandatary vaccination policy regardless of FDA approval status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no mandatory vaccinations for my Marines,\u201d Gen. Berger said.<\/p>\n<p>In a transcript of the call reviewed by Real Raw News, Gen. Berger lambasted Austin and branded him a traitor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder no circumstances will Marines be compelled to take a potentially hazardous vaccination that the FDA won\u2019t even fully endorse,\u201d Gen. Berger told Austin. \u201cYou are a coward and a traitor, manipulated by people pushing bad policy on the men and women who provide security to our nation. Neither you nor your puppet president has authority to enforce such a policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin argued that mandatory vaccinations have always been a requirement for soldiers enlisting into the Armed Forces, and they, as property of the U.S. government, have no right to decide whether to take the Covid-19 jab. The federal government and President Biden would decide for them, Austin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re incapable of making informed decisions. So we, their leaders, make the big decisions they cannot,\u201d Austin said. \u201cBiden and Harris are in charge, not individual soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"15330434ffbcae37d5966be523d221f0\" data-index=\"3\"><\/div>\n<p>Then Austin got political: \u201cIf conservatives and evangelicals see our fighting forces getting vaccinated, they\u2019ll be more likely to get vaccinated themselves,\u201d Austin said.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Berger said it was unfair to compare established vaccinations with a product that was rushed to market with little concern for side effects. He called the CDC and Dr. Fauci corrupt, and he asked Austin why the puppet administration hid from the public an NIH report linking the vaccination to thousands of fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone dies, you say it was Covid-19. There\u2019s a refusal to admit the vaccination carries side effects that can include death in certain individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not a physician. I\u2019m the Secretary of Defense for Joseph R. Biden, and I follow orders,\u201d Austin retorted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn case you haven\u2019t heard, Biden\u2019s not in charge of the military, and neither are you. You can sell whatever lies you want to the media. You sold your soul, Lloyd, and I hope you can live with yourself,\u201d Gen. Berger said.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Berger said he had the support of other Joint Chiefs of Staff and would implore them to ignore unlawful orders coming from the illegitimate administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a soldier wants the vaccination, fine. If not, he\u2019s not rolling up his sleeve. If you try to forcibly vaccinate even one of my Marines, you better come armed,\u201d Gen. Berger said, and hung up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement Monday afternoon, Biden said he strongly supports Austin\u2019s message and that he is \u201ceager to see\u201d the Covid-19 vaccination added to the battery of vaccinations soldiers receive upon joining the military.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Marines Rebuke Def.
