'The mandate negatively affected tens of thousands of service members – hundreds of thousands including spouses and children'..
A former Space Force officer's objection to the military's Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate still haunts him over three years later...
Joshua Zermeno, a former officer who dedicated part of his career to space superiority, having served in the U.S. military for 13 years. In August 2021, Zermeno objected to then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's military COVID-19 shot mandate, questioning both its "efficacy and legality." For this, he received two Letters of Reprimand (LORs) and a "Do Not Promote" recommendation that blocked his promotion to major. He was also banned from government buildings and required to work from home.
With his career collapsing in front of him, Zermeno attempted to voluntarily separate from the military in October 2021, but was told his separation was "not in the best interest of the Air Force and Space Force." In the week following this statement, he said base leadership initiated Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action against him. Despite the rescission of the COVID-19 shot mandate in January 2023, he was passed over for promotion a second time. Seven months later, he was forced to separate from the military entirely.
Nevertheless, Zermeno would consider returning to Space Force, but has been offered "zero guidance" from the Department of Defense and the Air Force's Total Force Service Center, which manages Space Force matters.
The former Space Force officer said stories like his are among "the most censored topics globally."

Zermeno, "The COVID-19 mandate ranks among the gravest errors in military history and must not be forgotten
...
He continues to wait to hear more from DCSA, as his second career – one that requires Top Secret clearance – hangs in the balance.

Sounds like it’s time for the Defense Secretary to get involved and his congressman/woman....
Ppl should hang for the damage they did to this country during the dark days of Covid and the experimental vaccine they tried to force on everyone.
I’d settle for them (and their extended family) being forced to take the complete series of shots and “boosters”.
... and the election they used covid as an excuse to steal. All of it was a big psyop to change election laws and get mail-in ballots allowed.
Trump has been focused on other issues, but he needs to fix this for these people. The clot shot was not safe and effective.
In the healthcare field, doctors, nurses, nurse’s aide-it was mandatory, the whole series plus more. They know these m-RNA injections are dangerous NOW and they are no longer mandatory in some hospital and nursing home jobs, but some places still require them.
The damage from the injections was tremendous. Healthcare workers died from covid but more died from the jab! And the long term effects of being forced to get these injections in close succession are just beginning. I know quite a few that can no longer work because of various chronic health conditions caused by the killer jab.
The perpetrators of covid and their “nail in the coffin” jab should all be executed or spend the rest of their lives in Alligator Alcatraz with a bunch of water moccasins thrown in for good measure.
They sure seemed to go to a lot of trouble to make sure this officer got the short end of the stick. That was really rotten treatment.

So do I, and this administration has yet to acknowledge the problem. I thought RFK would bring up the ugly statistics of the dead and injured by mRNA.
LOL!
Call must have sick friends or are making up BS. That would’t be a first! NONE of my relatives or friends have had any ill effects from the shots.
Ya’ll must have sick friends or are making up BS. That would’t be a first! NONE of my relatives or friends have had any ill effects from the shots.
“Sounds like it’s time for the Defense Secretary to get involved”
indeed ... orders to permanently delete all references to the issue of covid vax refusal in the records of all service members who refused, and orders that all such service members are to be immediately paid all monies that would have been paid to date as if said references had not affected said service members, whether said service members are currently active or not ...
Defense Secretary Hegseth.
Secretary of the Air Force Meink.
Joshua Zermeno and others like him need to be pardoned and have their military records amended, expunged and reinstated if they so wish.
The ruinous covid 19 policies have caused a great amount of pain and suffering among our men and women who were un ceremoniously and erroneously forced out of our military.
This is a grave wrong and a black stain on our honor.
This one aspect has me mad as hell at rfk jr and, due to his apparent indifference to the matter - i.e., no EO - DJT as well.
You make things happen in the military, you don’t wait for them to happen. If he wants back in and is serious about it he needs to make noise, waiting for guidance won’t happen. Get folks attention and make it happen.
The personnel office didn’t know? That’s odd.
They knew .. just following orders
“I thought RFK would bring up the ugly statistics of the dead and injured by mRNA.”
LOL! He works for Trump, now. No longer an ambulance chasing lawyer.
