MAY 8, 2026 – Secretary Pete Hegseth just announced the Pentagon will reinstate every service member discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine, with full back pay and benefits.
“Joe Biden’s mandate to force military service members to take the COVID-19 vaccine was wrongfully and unlawfully applied.
Many service members and their families suffered severe hardship.”
The plan: reinstatement with back pay, upgraded discharge characterizations, and removal of adverse documents from service files.
A new Department of War COVID-19 Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force will oversee it.
These warriors lost careers, pensions, and dignity for refusing an experimental shot under duress.
Today the Pentagon officially called it what it was.
An injustice.
