Don't agree with the delay, which only gives the varients more time to take hold and spread.

It's not as if the military is adverse to asking his members to sacrifice, sometimes order them even to risk death. Not to be unfeeling or crass, but isn't this what our volunteer soldiers signed up to do--to place themselves possibly at risk in defense of the nation?

I would be that the risks of any of these vaccines--"experiental" or not--is on a par with or less than serving with the military anywhere overseas.

I agree it makes a difference for civilians, though not for health care workers.

Anyway--my two cents.
