It has been broadly reported over the last couple of days that forty percent of U.S. Marines have refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Interestingly, individual Marines were not interviewed as to why. Sec Def Woods speculated that some were just giving up their place in line for someone else, or they had received the vaccine elsewhere or that they were waiting for the Department of Defense to make in mandatory. By the way, as long as the vaccines are subject to EUA, the DOD cannot make their use mandatory, and such a mandate would not extinguish to right to an objection of conscience.

Some law makers have written the White House, asking the president to issue a waiver, allowing the DOD to make the vaccines mandatory under the EUA. It is not known if the White House has decided on a course of action in response to this request.
So what? This development should lift the spirits of anyone facing a similar situation or a similar future prospect. Many U.S. Marines, who are really good at taking orders (and also really good at exercising personal initiative) are saying ‘No thanks’ and standing by it – that’s a confidence builder. It puts one in excellent company, and a lot of it by the looks of things.
The United States Marine Corps has served this nation with courage, honor and distinction since its inception. Those objecting and refusing to take the vaccine deserve our support. All Americans in service to our country deserve that support. Write your congressional rep. and senators and let them know. Whether objections are based on religious, philosophical or medical grounds, they deserve to be heard and respected.
And to my brothers and sisters in the Marine Corps, ‘Hoorah!’ from an old Army Mule.
To my fellow brothers and sisters in arms in the Marine Corps, I support your objection to receiving the current round of vaccines from a moral perspective. I am waiting for an ethical version of the vaccine. Sincerely, your sister in Christ, Dr. Darlene Drazenovich, Major, United States Army retired
I believed there is more than one reason for a Christian not to take a MRNA/DNA vaccine. In my prayers and discernment, God has shown me that He does not want me to get a genetic modifying inoculation, He wants me to continue living my human life here on earth with the genetic make-up that He had created me with.
Dr. Charles Hoffe, Lytton, BC gave an interesting interview concerning the Moderna MRNA ‘vaccine’. I took notes from the video as follows, ‘The mrna vaccine should not be called a vaccine. It is a gene therapy, not a vaccine.’ (The FDA has the Moderna shot listed as a Gene therapy.) ‘It is a gene that is put into your body to induce antibodies to the Corona virus spike protein. There are 20 types of tissue in the human body that have spike proteins, so the potential is that this so called vaccine could trigger an autoimmune response to some part of your own body. Women having miscarriages who have had the covid ‘vaccine’, Dr Haffe believes, is caused by the antibodies these women now have to their placenta which is a tissue that has spike proteins. In other words, they are now vaccinated against all future pregnancies because the placenta is one of the 20 tissues in our bodies with spike proteins. Their mrna gene therapy inoculation will induce antibodies to their placenta causing them to have a miscarriage everytime.’
So glad I found this website. I will wait for a more ethical vaccine if I was forced to take it. I will not take it now because of what they are using. The fetes cell lines are not elective. The fetes lost its life from the mother deciding that she wanted to terminate the pregnancy. The Baby did not elect to die so it is not moral and right to desecrate this child’s cells period. I would prefer to leave it up to the Lord. He has kept me safe throughout this pandemic. I do not fear getting Covid 19. I am not a carrier of this disease either. However I don’t object if they were to make a vaccine that did not choose to use FCL. But I do object to children getting the vaccine since they are not carriers and don’t get sick. So why is the Government in such a rush to vaccine young people. Its gives me a feeling that something is very wrong with this Governments push. They have become deluded to think that everyone one even little babies should get a vaccine. Not really trusting the Gov’t on this one.
