I cannot get an answer or more info on this. Haven't gone to JAG or anyone in the DoD yet, because I want to be armed with more info first.
It is my understanding that they can't issue a lawful order to take an EUA shot. Which means if the shot presented to me isn't from a COMIRNATY vial, they can't order me to take it. Which would mean I haven't disobeyed a lawful order by refusing it.
We (my guard unit) are going to be ordered to take the shot in Feb, where they will have 'the pfizer vaccine' (their words) available. I've been told by some of the medical personnel that it will indeed be the EUA version.
I'm in a leadership position, and in a position where I can leave the guard without any real consequence to my civilian life, so I'm okay being the 'face of the resistance' in this unit, as it were. But I want to be intelligent about it.
I have minimal backing documentation, and have been trying to gather more.
It seems like it should be as simple as asking the medic/provider on shot day to show me which vial they have, then refusing when its not comirnaty. But that almost seems too easy and like more people would be talking about it if that's all there was to it.

Caution, Blinker-Aerospace7. I read that they were re-labeling Pfizer vials with Comirnaty labels in Hawaii.
