The US Department of Defense made the “COVID-19 vaccination” mandatory for all military personnel, including National Guard and Reserve members, in August 2021. The politically initiated “coronavirus crisis” resulted in significant privacy infringements for millions of citizens with the arbitrary imposition of a mandatory “COVID-19 vaccination” and the administration of a new mRNA drug. The Department of Defense has now provided an opportunity for those who were forced out due to their refusal to get the vaccine to re-enlist.
Sean Parnell, the spokesperson for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, announced the decision via X-posting. In a post dated April 7th, Parnell informed about the department’s plans: “We are committed to doing right by those affected by the Department’s previous COVID-19 vaccination policy. For the approximately 8,700 service members who were discharged solely for refusing the vaccine, this is an opportunity to return to service and we want them to know that the door is open.”
The agency will now begin reaching out to these individuals to ensure they receive clear information on how to apply for re-enlistment, according to Parnell. Betroffene Ex-Army-Mitglieder will have until April 1st, 2026, to apply for re-enlistment. Parnell further explained the process: “We are working hard to ensure that each of them receives clear information and support throughout the process. Their service was important then and it is still important today.”
According to US media, the first re-enlistments have already taken place after the Pentagon formally raised the minimum service commitment for those who were discharged for refusing a legitimate vaccination from two to four years last week. The article states: “The Army reported that the majority of soldiers who have been re-enlisted were discharged for refusing the vaccine and had previously committed to four years of service. They are entitled to some back pay. However, some left the Army voluntarily to avoid the shot, so they can re-commit for two years and will not receive any back pay.”
According to the X-posting, 8,700 US Army members were discharged for refusing to comply with the vaccination order. Individuals who were previously discharged have been allowed to re-enlist since 2023, but without back pay. However, only 113 former employees have re-enlisted so far, according to an AP article. Parnell writes in his X-posting: “We are ready to welcome them back.
