Litmus Test Failures at Intelligence Agencies

As reported by Reuters, there seem to be a good number of employees in the civilian intelligence community who are resisting the mandate. Presumably those intelligence employees know a thing or two about how to detect lies, including "big lies." 

It is hard to know how many we are talking about because the percentages (except for the CIA which reports 97% vaccination rate) are secret:

"The Biden administration classified information it gave the intelligence committee on each of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, said Stewart, who noted generally that agencies more closely affiliated with the military tended to report lower vaccination rates."

 An op-ed by US Reps. Chris Stewart (R-UT) and Devin Nunes (R-CA) raises some important questions.

One can also reasonably ask whether the Biden administration believes that a benefit of this policy will be to shrink a demographic within the realm of government service that the administration perceives to lean conservative.

I raise the same issue in my lawsuit. ("the Order acts as a loyalty test and will have the effect of purging [straight, white, conservative, Christian men] from the ranks of the federal government")

The congressmen go on to note:

None of this is even to mention how these employees might react to being fired over a personal medical decision. It is a legitimate concern to create significant numbers of unemployed intelligence professionals with Top Secret clearances. These officers very well may feel betrayed, angry, and underappreciated by a country they chose to protect.

Good point.
