A couple other items I'd like to share:
Thanks for stepping up and volunteering for the COVID-19 vaccinations and your continued COVID-19 mitigations at work and at home. The XO has been working very hard to provide EVERYONE with an opportunity to be vaccinated! I encourage everyone to get vaccinated unless your doctor advises otherwise. Please consider that by deferring the vaccine without a valid medical reason (determined by your doctor) you are making a conscious decision to become part of a chain, an enabler who will eventually spread the virus and potentially harm/hospitalize someone who doesn't have a choice. Time is not on your side. This is the chance to protect yourself, your shipmates and family...to break the chain. If you are in doubt please invest the time, seek one-on-one advice from your own medical professional.
Sounds like he might get a bonus if his command makes it to 100%.
Tough call. If OP is from a based state or the base where it occcurred is in a based state, report it to the senators and reps to get the Service or DoD IG involved.
I'd think with a sizeable command, the chances of finding a dissenting troop from a good state would be pretty high.
Or you can recite the USC that reads no one can be compelled to give consent to take an EUA vaccine. To my knowledge this has not been rescinded it the whole “There’s a virus! Suspend the constitution!” tomfoolery.
