Lawsuit filed on behalf of Navy SEALs facing intimidation for seeking religious COVID-19 vaccine exemptions

A federal lawsuit is being filed on behalf of dozens of U.S. Navy SEALs seeking religious exemptions from the Defense Department's (DOD) vaccination mandate, claiming the military is infringing upon service members' First Amendment freedoms and intimidating them into getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

First Liberty Institute is filing a lawsuit Tuesday representing approximately 35 active-duty SEALs and three reservists, claiming the military is violating their constitutional rights. According to the filing, exclusively obtained by Fox News, the SEALs represented are all members of various denominations within the Christian faith and are objecting to the vaccine mandate based on "their sincerely held religious beliefs."

Fox News previously reported that for some SEALs seeking religious exemptions to the mandate, the process is nearly impossible to successfully complete to get a waiver. In addition, a series of new directives by the Navy are promising severe punishment, including court-martial (criminal) prosecution, revocation of special operator status, drastic pay cuts and a ban on travel for SEALs who do not comply with the mandate by the end of November.

Dear Sirs:

If you accept my belief in “Thou shall not kill”, I am entitled to the exemption.

If you doubt my belief in “Thou shall not kill”, there’s certainly no doubt you should give me the exemption given that I’m a professionally trained killer.

They are conducting an expert-course in how to harm trust, cause frustration, and destroy unit-cohesiveness in the military.

Let’s go Brandon.

It’s unfathomable how many first responders, military and private business employees Biteme’s handlers are willing to lose for these bogus mandates. Like I said on another thread, it goes from the WH down to local School Boards. School Boards are the battleground right now.

A proper informed consent leads to 99.8% of army soldiers refusing to get vaccinated!

Army surgeon Dr. and Lt. Col. Pete Chambers gave a proper vaccine informed consent speech (approximately 30 minutes) to 3,000 soldiers and just 6 of them opted to take the “vaccine.” All the others refused to take the shot.

I nearly fell off my chair when I heard that.

So what happened to Dr. Chambers? He was relieved of his duties because he failed to achieve the goals set for vaccination by the military brass.

The army had no problems at all with what was said. It was all accurate.

They just didn’t like the fact that nobody wanted the vaccine when they were told the truth about how safe it was (or wasn’t in this case).

The inevitable conclusion: the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin thinks that achieving 100% vaccination of the troops is more important than their health. He’s basically perfectly happy giving soldiers a vaccine they don’t want and disabling them, possibly for life, in order to please President Biden and meet the President’s vaccination goal.

Chambers knows vaccine safety first hand: he was severely injured by the COVID vaccine

Dr. Chambers himself is an expert on vaccine injuries because he took the COVID vaccine himself and became injured with severe vertigo. That injury almost cost him his life.

So he can give a very personal informed consent briefing.

The key point is: given a full informed consent, hardly any soldiers would voluntarily take the vaccine…
