We are mobilizing our military with the expectation of having a vaccine by the end of the year

Posse Comitatus Would not specifically apply here but this would in my opinion loose him the election. He has a way of stating two opposing opinions as one opinion, but this is a clear violation of rights if made mandatory that would not be able to be justified.

I guess he was saying he will use the military to enforce compliance to vaccinations. Why else would he need to mobilize the military?

Charitably, he could mean that the military would deploy to help administer the vaccine, particularly in rural areas.

that’s my point.

I’m sure there is a cvs or walgreens near by. It’s not a good idea.

You've never been in the deep country have you? There are plently of places where a trip to a walgreens or cvs is a nontrivial effort.

Where do you live that the pharmacies have the capacity to accommodate the entire population showing up for a vaccine?

Granted why mobilization would happen over a year, at best, prior to something even existing...

Most rural counties have public health departments, and most people who live in rural areas have vehicles and can travel to the nearest Wal-green, CVS, or Wal-mart.

Would it be considered assault to vaccinate someone against their will at gunpoint? I'm just asking.

I have lived in very remote parts of the country. Cvs and Walgreens was the general way of saying pharmacy or medical center. Remote parts of the country do have these and Mail/packages do also arrive in these area’s. I highly doubt if they were mobilized it would not just be for Wyoming and the back waters of Louisiana.

people will no more agree to this as they do the flu shot. You ok with the military knocking on your door and entering your house to administer this shot. Will it be mandatory? What if there in non compliance?

This is what everyone should be asking themselves for everything (replacing vaccinate with anything else). But there is only one answer in my opinion.

 

[Desk trauma]

I doubt that but I admit I am suffering a bout of optimism at the moment.

You ok with the military knocking on your door and entering your house to administer this shot.

House calls would be nice.

Will it be mandatory?

I hope so.

What if there in non compliance?

Hopefully near total social ostracism but again, I am being optimistic.

 

[pgp_protector]

Well obviously it's to shoot those that don't comply.

people who get the flu shot every year will most likely want this vaccine, people who do not will reject the idea of getting it. If it were to be mandatory and implemented by the military, that would be a problem on multiple levels. I don’t see your logic but thanks for the thoughts.

 

[Desk trauma]

At least the FEMA camps and mass mechanized guillotine executions I heard were coming during the last administration will finally get here. Late as usual, thanks Obama.

 

[Desk trauma]

Again, I am being optimistic, but given the severity of this I am confident that there will be a great deal more interest and compliance with a vaccine whenever one is created.

 

[XAPLTOS]

the military would not fire upon the U.S. population. My point is the optics this is something that most likely will not happen but it was stated as an idea by the chief executive of the country.

It's hardly the most outrageous thing that he has tweeted or said.

 

[rambot]

You know...he could just be lying again....

I disagree. I have never gotten the flu shot and I will absolutely get the covid vaccine. You’re making a ton of guesses here and going with the most extreme explanation. Obviously, local drugstores cannot vaccinate the majority of Americans in a short period of time, nor should the government expect a business to do the work of the government for free. It makes perfect sense to me to deploy the military, they are available and they are paid to help us. If Trump was planning on using the military to use force against Americans, why would he tell us in a tweet?
