After 18 years of dedicated service, Arkansas Air National Guardsman Chris Babczak is being denied the opportunity to reenlist next month—solely because he stood firm in his decision to refuse the flu vaccine [emphasis mine].
It is important to highlight that this will happen two years before reaching retirement eligibility. Additionally, it should be noted that this is taking place under the current leadership. Moreover, as these individuals should be ready to acknowledge at this point, scientific evidence suggests that receiving an annual flu shot may actually heighten the risk of contracting influenza.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Technical Sergeant Chris Babczak who shared that he was able to opt out of the COVID-19 vaccine, in 2022, due to his involvement in a class action lawsuit with fellow objectors. After researching the effectiveness and risks associated with the COVID-19 shot, the C-130 aircraft electrician also submitted a request for a religious accommodation regarding the flu vaccine. “Like COVID,” he said, “it was a rubber stamp denial.”
In the years to follow, Babczak has taken it upon himself to learn the law and know his rights, stating that “never again will I ask permission for any of my rights when government agencies, to include the military, never had constitutional authority to interfere with conscience beliefs or to make health decisions for people in the first place.”
He pointed to Article 2, section 24 of the Arkansas Constitution, which explicitly states, “No human authority can, in any case or manner whatsoever, control or interfere with the right of conscience.”
He further contended that “offering religious accommodations converts a right into a privilege and gives a false presumption that government, or the military in my case, can make a person’s health decisions by requiring a vaccine, even when a person lawfully objects.”
For him, “A person’s right to health is an absolute right, the constitution secures the right to health against government compulsion of a vaccine.”
