Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
The Vaccine Reaction is reporting that a recent survey found that 53 percent of U.S. military families do not want to take the experimental mRNA COVID injections. Among deployed troops overseas, most of them are refusing the COVID shots. While the military acknowledges that they cannot legally require anyone to receive an experimental injection not yet approved by the FDA, some businesses in the U.S. are attempting to do just that.
