Covid stupidity comes in many shapes and forms

I don't want to be overly rude and dismissive but how is it possibe in this era of non-stop Covid pandemic when everyone in the universe is trying to stay safe and alive and preferably in a job that several thousand members of the US military have refused to be vaccinated and are now to be fired or blocked from ever getting promotion? Are their reasons so crucial to their life and beliefs that they are happy to lose their jobs and, more importantly, happy to risk their health and the health of those closest to them? Some have claimed exemption on the grounds of their religious beliefs. But what religion says, Thou shalt not ever be vaccinated even when your life is at risk? But the majority appear to have refused to be vaccinated because they don't think the vaccination is genuine and might harm them. I would have thought that being a soldier or Marine or airman or sailor you do what is best not just for yourself but for your comrades-in-arms and for your unit. And if you still need persuading then your commanding officer should slightly raise his voice and say, Perkins, get vaccinated, that's an order. Roughly two to five per cent of the US military have refused to be jabbed, depending on the service. For example, nearly 4,000 active-duty soldiers have refused and are now facing the sack. More than 100 Marines have already been booted out. The air force has kicked out 27, and in the US navy nearly 6,000 active-duty sailors remain unvaccinated. And this is all while the Omicron variant is tearing through communities like one of those terrifying tornadoes that hit the US last week. It is actually beyond belief!
