Cruz's amendment on vaccine refusals in the military faces defeat in senate vote
Texas Senator Ted Cruz's amendment to reverse punitive actions against service members fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine was voted down, with three Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.
Houston - Texas Senator Ted Cruz unsuccessfully urged fellow lawmakers in the upper chamber to unwind punitive action against service members fired by their superiors for refusing an injection of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Three Republicans joined Democrats in voting down Cruz’s amendment including Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy who has in the past characterized the vaccine refusals as defiance of a direct order.
A lot of water has flowed under the "vaccine bridge" since that order was given and refused by thousands - if it was up to you, how would you vote?
