An Air Force pilot who has sought a religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine and all other vaccines expects that he will face punishment for refusing to get vaccinated.

Air Force Maj. Jeremy Franks, who had performed air mobility missions for more than 15 years, was immediately grounded following Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s August 2021 military vaccine mandate. Franks, who spoke to The Epoch Times using a pseudonym because of concern about reprisals, hasn’t flown since.
