Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday that service members are no longer required to be vaccinated against the flu.
Hegseth issued amemodated Monday to service members saying the vaccine is now “voluntary.”
He also noted on social media that “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force.”
“Under the disastrous Biden administration, this Pentagon waged an unrelenting war on our warriors on many fronts, including when it came to denying them simple medical autonomy and the freedom to express their religious convictions,” Hegseth said.
“Our men and women in uniform were forced to choose between their conscience and their country, even when those decisions posed no threat to our military readiness,” he continued.
