New documents show that the British army plans to discipline soldiers who decline their Covid-19 jab

Military personnel who decline to be vaccinated against the virus will be punished according to the Daily Mail, as the media and government continue to pile pressure on Britons to get the jab.

RT reports: Orders reportedly issued to the Royal Artillery and Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers state that soldiers who refuse to have the coronavirus vaccine will be “educated” by their commanders. 

“If they still refuse they may be deemed as unfit to soldier and dealt with accordingly as the CV-19 jab may be a requirement to deploy on operations/exercises, much like yellow fever,” according to official documents obtained by the outlet. 

The directive was issued over the past week, the Daily Mail said. 

The military cannot force soldiers to receive the vaccine, but under the Armed Forces Act, service members can be deemed “unfit to soldier.” 

In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said that it was committed to keeping all personnel and their families safe, both at home and overseas, and that members of the military were being vaccinated “in line with national priority guidelines.” 

It is similarly unlawful for private companies to make the vaccine mandatory for their current employees. However, some have argued that it may be legal to require new hires to get the jab. 

Downing Street has previously pushed back on the idea of forcing people to be vaccinated in order to keep their jobs, describing such a policy as “discriminatory.”

While the jab isn’t yet mandatory, special “privileges” are being given to those who are fully vaccinated. Like many countries around the world, the UK is rolling out a Covid vaccine “passport” to be used for international travel. The EU is expected to greenlight a proposal that would ease entry restrictions and procedures, such as quarantine, for Britons who can show that they got the jab. 

Meanwhile, the government and media have ramped up efforts to urge people to get vaccinated. Over the past several weeks, outlets have taken aim at “vaccine refuseniks,” accusing those who decline the jab of endangering plans to lift lockdown measures. 

One unnamed minister cited by the media suggested that the UK could remain “locked up” because of “the actions of a small minority,” warning that such a scenario could create “some really nasty sentiment.”

  1. Since Obama legalised the use of propaganda, as a social engineering
    psyop weapon ,I think it must have been done in a lot of places just either secretly or covertly or as if irrelevant to public interest. Or maybe it was always legal everywhere else and they finally got a puppet President to do it in America too .Anyway it means you cant believe anything anymore from any wven previously supposedly reliable honest source Its the end of trust.
