Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is reaching out to former service members who were pushed out of the military over vaccines to invite them to be reinstated.

During COVID, the Biden administration authorized the coercive use of an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) vaccine, falsely labeling it “interchangeable” with the fully FDA-approved Comirnaty shot, which was largely unavailable to troops.

The result: tens of thousands of servicemen and women punished, discharged, or sidelined—all for refusing a gene therapy product they were never legally obligated to take.

The Trump administration is trying to right a wrong done to thousands who stepped up to defend our nation.

Secretary Hegseth shared, “Joe Biden’s mandate to force military service members to take the COVID-19 vaccine was wrongfully and unlawfully applied because the Biden Pentagon refused to grant exemptions for certain medical and faith reasons, not to mention it was an experimental vaccine.”

“As a result, many service members and their families suffered severe hardship, and the department lost trust with the American people.”

“President Trump’s executive order on this topic stated that the military unjustly discharged those who refused the vaccine, regardless of their conscience or the years of service given to our nation.”

“He called this what it is: an unfair, overly broad, and completely unnecessary burden on our warriors. Under the leadership of President Trump, the War Department is committed to doing everything we can to make it right, as you know.”

“We want warriors of conscience, warriors who made a principled stand for truth.”

“We want them back in our ranks as soon as possible.”

“We are welcoming back to service patriots who refused the COVID-19 vaccine and were discharged for that reason. If that is you and you still have the desire to once again wear the cloth of our nation, we are ready to reinstate you with back pay and with benefits.”

“I’m directing the Undersecretary of War for Personnel and Readiness to establish a Department of War COVID-19 Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force.”

“The services have them right now. We’re establishing one at our level to oversee the entire thing. The task force’s goal is to bring back into service all those who desire to continue to serve our country in uniform.”

“Even if you do not intend to return to service, the War Department will provide a path for resolution of unearned bonuses, upgrades to discharge characterizations that will unlock your well-deserved benefits, and removal of adverse documents from service files.”

“Further, I have directed a review of policies and decision-making to ensure that we do not go down this path again.”

“You raised your right hand and swore an oath to serve and protect the Constitution and our nation.”

“You were mistreated by the Biden Pentagon, and we are fixing that injustice.”
