AMERICANS Act

This bill stops the Department of Defense from requiring military members to get COVID-19 vaccines unless Congress specifically says they can. It creates a process to help military members who were discharged or punished for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. Any discharge based only on refusing the vaccine must be changed to an honorable discharge, and the military cannot punish members for being unvaccinated. The military must treat unvaccinated members the same as others for promotions and opportunities, and can only consider vaccination status in limited situations like deployments to certain countries. Military members who were separated for refusing the vaccine don't have to pay back bonuses and will be reimbursed if they already paid money back.
