Lawmakers want military researchers to determine whether the COVID-19 vaccine caused more harm than good for service members.
Included in the annual defense authorization bill passed by Congress earlier this month is language calling for “a study to assess and evaluate any health conditions and adverse events arising in service members on active duty one year after receiving the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.” Researchers will be required to report their findings back to lawmakers in December 2024.
The vaccine has been a target of conservative lawmakers for years. In the fiscal 2023 defense authorization bill, lawmakers repealed the Defense Department’s mandate for all troops to receive the vaccine. This year’s bill also contains a host of provisions related to potential reenlistment of individuals kicked out of the ranks for refusing the shots.

There are already enough ‘independent’ studies that have concluded that those Covid ‘clot shot bioweapons’ have harmed the troops and everyone else who were injected with them and the evidence of this continues to pour in. The arrests need to proceed as well as the lawsuits for damages; that’s what needs to happen next.

Well, good. I guess the captive “target group” for the “clot shots” will get a legitimate hearing, thanks to House Republicans. I’m also sure Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul has some influence here.
Dr. B, Thank you for keeping us informed about happenings above the equator. You do us all a great service.

Hopefully, Katherine, we can also rely on these House Republicans to raise the issue in next years election – and hopefully get some populist Republicans elected to the Senate next year.
