U.S. intelligence apparatus could lose thousands of officers due to vaccine mandate
(Worthy News) – Thousands of intelligence officers may soon face dismissal for failing to comply with the U.S. government’s vaccine mandate. The situation is raising concerns among Republican lawmakers about removing employees from agencies that are critical to U.S. national security.
As of late October, several intelligence agencies had at 20% of their workforce unvaccinated, according to Utah GOP Rep. Chris Stewart, a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Other agencies reportedly had as much as 40% of their workforce unvaccinated.
The Nov. 22 deadline for civilians employees gives government intelligence workers several weeks to get vaccinated, though it is unclear how many will comply before the deadline. Intelligence officers are especially hard to replace, given the specialized nature of their work and the time it takes to complete security clearance checks. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
