That challenge won't hold up. There is ample precedent for mandatory vaccination (excepting medical exemptions)

Both in Canada and the US.

You sign you get stabbed.

Yeah, I think you're probably right. I don't think this is anything new and there were exemptions allowed.

yeah, any commander(whatever higher up role has the authority to issue such order) that thinks it's okay and then leads to mass infection like US Navy would lost their job and if in active war probably military court trials. Imaging losing combat capability during your mission cause you want to accommodate people that don't want to get vaccinated.
