My bill, HR 3860, prohibits federal funds from being used to force a member of the Armed Forces to receive the novel COVID vaccine. In addition, it protects any servicemembers from punishment should they decline a vaccination. https://t.co/wqqjyX9AVK

The Blaze reports, "In June, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) introduced HR 3860, which would prohibit any mandatory requirement that a member of the Armed Forces receive a COVID-19 vaccination.

'This bill prohibits the use of federal funds to require a member of the Armed Forces to receive a COVID-19 vaccination,' the bill states, which has 31 cosponsors. 'The bill also prohibits adverse action (e.g., punishment) being taken against a member of the Armed Forces because the member refuses to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.'

On Friday, Massie hosted a roundtable discussion with a dozen members of the U.S. military to hear their concerns about the imminent vaccine mandate. The military members remained anonymous to avoid any backlash or retribution for their opinions on the COVID-19 vaccine."
