Good news for service members who were dismissed from the military for exercising their religious, medical, or philosophical freedom and refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
President Trump has said that he will sign an executive order today—Monday, January 27, 2025—to reinstate them with full back pay and benefits.
During his confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth, Trump’s new Secretary of Defense, publicly declared support for those who refused to bow to the unrelenting pressure to get vaccinated. The campaign to get a needle in every arm of every American was funded in large part by the pharmaceutical industry and fueled by global fear.
They “will be apologized to,” Hegseth insisted. “They will be reinstated [and] reinstituted with pay and rank.”
