BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Republicans are threatening to block this year’s annual defense bill unless Democrats end the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer justified the policy, and after consulting with the pentagon, the White House says it supports keeping the requirement.
We want to know: Do you think it’s time to lift the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for military service members?
Mixed feelings. What if your son or daughter is deployed to a third world country and Covid is running rampant. Our children need to be protected against everything so they can come home to their parents.
