The unidentified man’s video was viewed over 460,000 times, and soon the term “F-22” was trending on Twitter, which is bizarre because everything he said was false. Here’s why:

‘The Secretary of Defense texted all active-duty military personnel’

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has better things to do than send late-night texts to a million service members. As anyone who’s been around the military a while knows, when SecDef Austin says something is mandatory, it gets rolled out on fancy Department of Defense letterhead with his big signature at the bottom. When asked if Austin sent such a message, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby responded flatly, “Not true.”

‘All active-duty service members must be vaccinated by 10 a.m. or they will be court-martialed.’

This claim is also false, Kirby said. The Department of Defense did mandate the COVID-19 vaccine late last month when the version produced by Pfizer was fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The deadline varies for each service, but the one for the Air Force is Nov. 2 for active duty airmen and Dec. 2 for the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.
