Dr. Chase Spears welcomes retired Air Force Colonel Tom Rempfer, whose nearly 30-year battle against the unlawful anthrax vaccine mandate mirrors the recent fight against COVID shot coercion in the military. Tom shares how the program—declared illegal by federal courts in 2004 for using an unapproved, investigational product—led to punishments, discharges, and career setbacks for thousands of service members.

He details historical parallels: the vaccine's regulatory failures (no finalized FDA license since 1985), post-Gulf War concerns linking it to undiagnosed illnesses, the 2001 anthrax letter attacks (later tied to a Fort Detrick insider saving the failing program), and the creation of emergency use authorization as a lowered standard to bypass injunctions.

The conversation explores gaslighting, inverted accountability (whistleblowers punished, enablers promoted), and the urgent need for record corrections, back pay, and proactive reviews—patterns repeated in the COVID era. Tom urges the current administration to extend equitable remedies to anthrax veterans, emphasizing constitutional duty over blind compliance.

A powerful call to learn from history and never give in.
