Your point cuts the other way - anyone who has joined the military showed they are accepting of vaccine mandates and are okay with giving up their bodily autonomy in this sphere. The military mandates service members receive between 9 and 17 different vaccines before COVID had ever been heard of. https://www.yahoo.com/now/17-vaccines-mandated-us-military-165900126.html https://www.yahoo.com/now/17-vaccines-mandated-us-military-1...
- throwawaysea 5y agoMy point is slightly different. I’m making the claim that those who serve vow to defend the constitution, and regardless of their personal choice, they are likely to dislike authoritarian mandates that go against civil liberty and the constitution.
- pedroma 5y agoMaybe there's hesitancy because the mRNA vaccine is relatively untested compared to all those other vaccines that were mandated.
- javagram 5y agoPerhaps, but there's an FDA EUA for an adenovirus-based vaccine (Johnson and Johnson) if one is simply scared of the mRNA technology. An adenovirus-based vaccine was already submitted for approval in 2019 for Ebola, and approved midway through 2020 after years of trials, so we know the technology wasn't rushed because of COVID.
