Deploying troops and critical national security personnel refuse coronavirus vaccine Print this article
U.S. military troops deploying overseas and those charged with critical national security missions are refusing to take voluntary COVID-19 vaccines, according to the Pentagon.
In all, only about 320,000 service members and civilian personnel have been vaccinated, leaving many of the 769,000 doses available to DOD unused. The military s experience so far with the virus inoculation mirrors a trend in some parts of the country, where civilians are declining to get jabbed for a host of reasons.
Pentagon officials said as long as the vaccines are under Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorization, and are not fully approved, DOD cannot require service members to take the vaccine.
While 2020 was a challenging year for everyone, the Collaborative Environment (CE), an Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) partner, persevered to deliver results with a multi-million-dollar impact.
This Air Force partnership, while a recent development, is producing results on par with similar existing organizations that have a significant amount of experience. Air Force Global Strike Command has placed a premium on innovation and is leading the way in the Air Force setting the example for technology transfer and transition.
CE is an agile team of talented employees within the Cyber Innovation Center (CIC), a 501c3 not-forprofit business. Every day they act as partners with AFGSC headquarters under a Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) relationship that allows them to work on projects alongside the headquarters to find quick and efficient solutions that directly benefit the warfighter and revitalize the Air Force nuclear enterprise.
In 1624, English poet John Donne penned his famous poem
‘No Man Is an Island’, sublimely evoking the reality of human unity: ‘Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.’ Therefore, he concluded his poem, ‘never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.’
