Because at the time I joined, I had already had most of them, they had long track records and weren't political weapons with EUAs.

Then came anthrax.

Thanks to that, I almost died and have a lifetime SI that will likely cut my career short and took a solid decade off my life expectancy.

I was waiver from any further Anthrax shots or boosters. I started having bad reactions to flu shots, bad enough that I was hospitalized.

For the remaining 18 years I was in, I was waived from Flu, Anthrax and any "new" vaccine and it was a non issue.

Out comes the COVID-19 vaccine. My flight surgeon, my cardiologist and my oncologist all said "you do not get this until we have years of data"

Then the myocarditis being the most common adverse side effect came out. My cardiologist went "you never get this vaccine. Period"

Mind you these are all Navy doctors.

When COVID-19 vaccine became "Mandatory" they all wrote letters to my waiver package. Now mind you, any vaccine prior to this one only required one doc to say no, and that was the end of it.

No. Package with three Navy docs and two civilian docs goes up.

Overruled by a non MD Captain.

I told them in no uncertain terms I was not getting the shot contrary to medical advice and I would gladly see them at the Court Martial.

Mind you, the deadline was 3 days before my Mandatory Retirement date. 28 DEC vs 01JAN.

My retirement date was moved to 1 DEC after I rolled into the NOSC Command Suite with lawyers in tow when I was summoned to a "sign this page 13 and you can't write an under duress statement" and brought JAG.

24 years. Zero discipline items on my record ever.

Last day in the Navy had lawyers involved because Covid went political and the military political officers (O6 and above) went with looking good for their bosses over a very real chance the vaccine would kill or disable me due to heart damage from a previous "new but safe" vaccine.
