That's actually the DoD position. Once the vaccines are given full authorization, they will be required by DoD. But until then, the DoD (and DoS) rule is that only fully vaccinated personnel can go without masks. However, the rule up to now has been a sort of "don't ask, don't tell" approach to people at work in government facilities -- at least on the State side. Vaccinated employees could drop the masks, but we couldn't ask anyone whether they had been vaccinated. I had to deny entry to this country to military members who were not vaccinated, but had to approach it from another angle: our facilitation of DoD who wanted to come here was an exception, and would only be made for vaccinated personnel. I got some push-back ("it isn't our policy to pull someone from a team," or "we can't punish anyone who chooses not to take the vaccine"), but I countered with the fact that not being permitted to engage with a foreign force was not a punishment. But refusing vaccination wasn't without consequences (not punishment). Luckily for my office, PNG is now only allowing vaccinated travelers to enter the country, so it's out of my hands! Looks like this Alabama base is having an integrity issue. Again, they're not saying everyone has to be vaccinated, but they are enforcing the "only vaccinated personnel can unmask" rule with more oversight.

For those keeping score at home, that is 6 consecutive posts from the person who recently said: "Basically, I am bailing from the Vortex, at least on the internet".

There is a reason it is called Public Health and not Person Health.

No idea. I have no allergies to anything (thankfully), so I don't pay a whole lot of attention to what sort of allergies are problematic for what stuff. She may (or may not) have other allergies that are preventing her from getting the Covid vaccine. Or she could just be wrong. I'll ask.

I have now gone 19 months without getting a common cold or any other respiratory illness. This is the longest cold-free period that I can remember. My wife has gone even longer. I attribute this to mask wearing in public places and caution about contact with possibly infected surfaces. Despite being fully vaccinated since February, we plan to continue masking up.

If I was one of your parents and you handed me a legal document I would tear up the document and withdraw my offer to pay your tuition. You are acting like a spoiled little brat. Not many people are offered a paid tuition and you want to complain about no skydiving for 5 years. You are lucky to have parents who can and are willing to help.
