260,000+ troops not fully injected | Eastern NC Now

According to the Department of Defense website, at least 268,858 service members as of July 13 are still not in compliance with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s August 2021 mandate for every member of the military to be fully vaccinated with two doses of a vaccine. That figure does not count the thousands who have not taken any doses.

As Breitbart News previously reported, Navy reservist Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) confronted Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley over the discharges during a hearing in April, where Milley downplayed the effect they would have on the military.

“The numbers are very low, by the way, of those that are refusing to be vaccinated, and they’re even lower,” Milley told Banks. “I mean, it’s tiny the numbers that are actually being asked to process out. So I think it’s manageable, and I think that I would prefer that everybody just go ahead and get vaccinated.”
