With the deadlines looming for the military vaccine mandate, a Camp Pendleton Marine has begun his own battle against the mandate. Lance Cpl. Matthew Northcutt, 20, first enlisted more than two years ago. I wanted to be a Marine ever since I was a child. The reality is, potentially, I may not be one, said Northcutt.
At issue, the military vaccine mandate for Marines, the deadline is late November.
Northcutt, who is Baptist, will be applying for a religious exemption. While Pfizer once used a stem cell line to confirm lab testing,
many religious leaders have called the connection to abortion, very remote. To me, that means its related, linked. I can't abide by that morally, said Northcutt. Ultimately I would have to go with my personal values and personal morals
I can't betray what I feel, said Northcutt.
Regardless of whether his exemption is granted,
Northcutt has started a fundraising campaign ... with plans to file a federal lawsuit in the coming weeks. He will ask for an injunction against the mandate.
As of last week, 1.2 million service members have been fully vaccinated. The Pentagon says about 90% of active-duty members are now fully vaccinated.

(6,829 posts)Chances are he got vaxxed upon entry with something he'd similarly find religiously objectionable. Or has taken Tylenol or Tums etc etc.
This is just insubordination masked as a "religious" justification.
The GoFundMe to sue his own commanders is icing on the cake

(46,794 posts)I hope he also refuses to use: Tylenol, Advil, Aspirin, Aleve, Sudafed, Benadryl, Claritin, Robitussin, Mucinex, Tums, Maalox, Ex-Lax, Pepto-Gismol, Lipitor, Albuterol, and many, many more drugs that used the same HEK-293 cells or derivative cell lines in development and/or testing.
He probably needs to clean out his medicine cabinet, as there are few commonly used medications that have not been tested or developed with the HEK-293 cell lines. AND that includes Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine!
