Vicky Hartzler: Vaccine mandate threatens our troop strength and morale


(From Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler)

President Biden’s military vaccine mandate threatens to levy a serious blow to troop strength and morale.

I have been contacted by several members of the military — both the voluntarily vaccinated and unvaccinated — expressing grave concern over this mandate. 

These concerns span from a deep personal opposition to the vaccine to a worry that we will lose valuable personnel because of this mandate. 








Even the vaccinated oppose this mandate because of what it may mean for the health and wellbeing of the military.

We ask a lot of our men and women in uniform, and this is not the time or the place for a government to make those who serve undergo a medical procedure or forego service to our nation. Forced vaccinations in employment policy violate individual liberties for the private sector and, certainly, violate individual liberties of those who fight to secure them.

As Americans, freedom and liberty should always reign.
