Navy SEALs, Sailors Who Refused Covid Vaccine Win Legal Victory over Biden-Harris Mandate
Let’s not forget Harris’ connection to the covid and mask mandates as she takes on the mantle of the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate.

When the Biden-Harris administration issued a covid vaccine mandate for all federal workers, thousands of men and women in the U.S. military were discharged in early 2022 rather than comply. They did not wish to inject something into their bodies about which they had serious health and ethical concerns.
The U.S. Navy discharged over 8,000 members, who faced stiff penalties for refusing to agree to the Biden-Harris mandate.
Navy SEALs and other special operators suffered professional setbacks for refusing the vaccine, despite having their religious accommodation requests denied multiple times.
They were fired, denied trainings to advance in rank and, in some cases, even forced by the military to repay their initial signing bonuses between $4,000 and $7,000.
SEALs and other special operations warfare troops were also told they would have to pay back the cost of their training by the federal government – hundreds of thousands of dollars – and hand over their hard-earned ‘Trident’ pin.
Now these victims of the pseudoscience related to covid have won a major legal victory in reversing the actions taken against them for not following the Biden-Harris mandate.
Under an agreement in the case announced Wednesday, Navy sailors who refused the vaccine for religious reasons can now have their records corrected and will be protected against discrimination on promotion boards for the next three years, according to their attorneys.
Promotion boards “must not consider any adverse information related solely to COVID-19 vaccine refusal in cases in which a religious accommodation was requested,” according to a release from the First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit legal organization that defends religious liberties, and the law firm Hacker Stephens LLP.
The Navy also agreed to review the personnel records of all plaintiffs to ensure that the service expunged any information on administrative separation, counseling or nonjudicial punishment for failing to comply with the mandate.
It will also correct the records of members who left the service and post a public statement “affirming the Navy’s respect for religious service members,” among other requirements.
Clearly, Harris would prefer for Americans to forget her ties to Biden’s disastrous vaccine mandate. However, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone how vast and over-reaching it was.
President Biden announced the most sweeping COVID-19 vaccine requirements yet on Thursday, which will affect roughly 100 million Americans. The new measures include a vaccine mandate for all federal workers and contractors, and a requirement that large companies must mandate vaccines or regular testing for employees.
….The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is developing a rule requiring all employers with at least 100 employees to make sure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require unvaccinated workers to get a negative test at least once a week. OSHA will issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to introduce the vaccine requirement. Companies that fail to comply could face fines of $14,000 per violation, Mr. Biden said.
That was just one of the mandates and changes the president announced in a speech on boosting vaccinations and battling the COVID-19 pandemic. The president also announced vaccination requirements for health care providers that accept Medicare and Medicaid, for all federal employees and contractors and for the staffs of Head Start programs, Department of Defense Schools and Bureau of Indian Education-operated schools. Mr. Biden had announced in July the federal workforce would need to provide evidence that they had been vaccinated or submit to regular testing and practice social distancing measures in the workplace.
Harris and Biden also called for mask mandates, too.
Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris called on Thursday for every governor to mandate mask-wearing in public for at least the next three months, citing studies that say it would save more than 40,000 lives and speed the nation’s economic recovery.
And, as we recently learned from Dr. Anthony Fauci, there was no science behind masking.
To put in perspective, 97% of Americans have covid antibodies. As many have stopped taking the boosters, and others have contracted covid despite the boosters, this is suggestive of what I believe: that nearly everyone has now caught at least one case of covid.
So, it wasn’t a “winter of death”. . . it was an era of hysteria.
It is good to see justice work in favor of our unjustly treated military personnel.
The Biden administration policy failures are numerous. Let’s not forget Harris’ connection to the covid and mask mandates as she takes on the mantle of the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate.

What about those who are now developed amyloid clots or myocardia because they bowed to the illegla mandates?
*are now developing
**illegal
I should learn to type.
Oh, that’s nothing. I’ve been clocked at 110 errors per minute.
It sounds to me like the settlement does nothing for the men and women who have already been pushed out of the service, especially those forced to refund bonuses and training fees. I would consider them the worst victims, and the settlement should accommodate them.
Agreed. Full restitution plus damages.
It’s the least they can do. Well, what they are doing is the least they can do, but they should step up.
Maybe Pres. Trump can hire the Seals for his personal protection!
Remember: the COVID pandemic was a PSYOP to remove PDJT from office by any means necessary. People were scared to death of what they heard on television and bought into the mass hysteria without any real critical thinking (good thing teachers found time to teach sex education by cutting out critical thinking, eh?).
In the infamous words of Harry Reid, it worked, didn’t it?
Those that perpetrated this “pandemic” upon us need to held to judgement.
And finally, if I were a SEAL i wouldn’t even consider going back unless and until FJB & the cackling idiot are fully on the unemployment line.
Navy SEALs, Sailors Who Refused Covid Vaccine Win Legal Victory over Biden-Harris Authoritarian Mandate
A victory but not the deserved one. If Dems can pay a bunch of useless hood rats ghetto lottery money every time someone acts a fool with police then these military servants that stood up for their rights can get compensated for what they had to endure.
Dont’ forget about when they made the people “protecting” DC sleep in a parking garage.
Reinstate with full back pay and compensation for any losses then triple punitive damages.
The history of the Fake Vax will be a can of worms to open someday.
So Strzok and Page get millions, the still-in-service SEALs get a pinky promise to ‘not discriminate’ against them, and the ones forced out get absolutely nothing.
The DoJ doesn’t even care to pretend they aren’t leftist hacks at this point.
A: The mandate was NEVER legal, see: https://casetext.com/case/doe-v-rumsfeld-4
B: The vaccine was NEVER fully approved for use, as that infamous date when the FDA “approved” it was in fact a lie, as the EUA paperwork pulled the vaxx back under the EUA experimental level deep in the pamphlet that came with the vaxx (yes I have a copy of that pamphlet too). The only FDA approval was for the name and the location/factory that could produce it.
C: Don’t forget about people like myself (civil servant at at the time) who were openly threatened with termination if not compliant by Nov 22, 2021. On top of that they added to the threats to me by hinting that they would literally kick me out with no way back to the states, thus making me an illegal immigrant in Japan. The Embassy would not help me AT ALL and really could not give to shits about me. Management was playing the “waiting for guidance” game but also threatening people at the same time.
So my bottom line is FUCK all these mini-tyrants that went along in ruining people’s lives thinking they were doing their jobs when in fact they loved the power that was given them to wreck other people live. I have zero sympathy for them.
I was a DoD contractor
I refused the clot shot
almost got fired … told em my give a shit locker was empty … go for it.
then the USSC stepped up and told King Biteme he cudnt force contractors to take the shot .. the company I worked for backed off ….
Put RFK Jr. in charge of cleaning up the crooked medical industry from woke med schools, to public health to the pharmaceutical cabal.
And this is exactly why they do that kind of thing. Look how long it took to correct the issue. So they got what they wanted in the meantime and that was good enough for them. It isn’t like anyone that was forced into it could untake it
fjb is alll for limiting pres immunity then surely ( and yeah,,,,dont call me …)
others lower on the list are open to not having any immunity
so lets see some criminal counts AGAINST those who forced people into some
QUID PRO QUO lawsuits!!
It’s not clear to me — was this a legal settlement in a lawsuit, and do the servicemembers have to give up anything to take advantage of this “agreement” with the Navy? I’d be cautious about waiving any rights or remedies for this de minimus settlement that doesn’t even make the victims whole.
