Thousands of Marines who were separated from the military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine got messages from the service informing them of President Donald Trump's Jan. 27 executive order, which seeks to reinstate them into the armed forces with their previous rank and backpay should they decide to return.
Robert Roach and Forest of the Fallen want a pause on vaccines based on mRNA, despite assurances from health authorities. Murray Bridge’s councillors have been urged to join a campaign seeking justice for people who have suffered adverse effects after being vaccinated. The town of Port Hedland, Western Australia made national headlines late last year after its councillors voted to demand that the federal government suspend the use of vaccines based on mRNA technology, including those made by Pfizer and Moderna to protect against COVID-19, and to investigate their side effects.
A Tennessee federal court has upheld a jury’s verdict in favor of former BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) employee Tanja Benton in a religious discrimination lawsuit over the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. US District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. issued a final ruling on Jan. 31, ordering BCBST to pay Benton $502,380.65 in damages.
Shipping giant Purolator has lost its B.C. Supreme Court challenge of an arbitrator's decision to compensate unvaccinated employees suspended or terminated by the company. Purolator instituted a "safer workplaces policy" that mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for its employees on Sept. 15, 2021, amid the rapid spread of the deadly virus. In January 2022, unvaccinated Purolator employees were either placed on an unpaid leave of absence or had their contracts suspended — prompting the Teamsters union to file hundreds of grievances, arguing the vaccination mandate wasn't reasonable.
The City and County of San Francisco constructively fired several former employees in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act after the employees requested religious exemptions from their employer’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held Jan. 30. According to the decision in Keene v. City and County of San Francisco, the employees sought a preliminary injunction requiring CCSF to accommodate them by allowing them to work remotely or work in-person while wearing personal protective equipment and testing for COVID-19.
Robert R. Redfield, interviewed by Wesley J. Smith, was Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from March 26, 2018, through January 20, 2021. The Covid pandemic was ramping up during the latter part of his tenure and he believes that internal politics forced him out. From January 20, 2021, through December 31, 2022, fellow immunologist Anthony Fauci was Chief Medical Advisor to the President (Joe Biden), a position which is now vacant. Fauci was also part of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
The Washington state Office of Attorney General is being sued for firing employees who refused to get a COVID-19 vaccination during the pandemic, citing their religious beliefs. The federal court lawsuit also names as defendants executives of the office, including Gov. Bob Ferguson, who was the attorney general until becoming governor in January. It was filed on behalf of 10 former employees by the nonprofit Silent Majority Foundation, based in Pasco and directed by attorney Pete Serrano, who is also the Pasco mayor.
THE family of a "beloved father and husband" who took his own life after Covid-19 vaccine complications are fighting for justice. John Cross, a 62-year-old retired pharmacist from Bromsgrove, was described as "fit and healthy" when he received the Oxford Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine in January 2021. The next month, Mr Cross experienced symptoms of a serious neurological disorder called Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), which was triggered by the vaccine.

A bespoke compensation or support scheme specifically for those affected by Covid-19 jabs has been suggested. More than 1,000 people who have sought support from the vaccine damage payment scheme after being injured or bereaved as a result of Covid-19 jabs have been waiting a year or more for a decision on their application, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry has heard. Sarah Moore, a partner at law firm Leigh Day, told the probe on Wednesday that there is a “real world impact” from delays. It comes as she suggested a “bespoke compensation scheme or support scheme” specifically for those affected by Covid-19 vaccinations should be put in place.
Canadian experts are calling for more research into heart damage linked to Covid vaccines. They fear the scale of the issue remains 'under-documented' because they say studies have been too narrow and haven't looked at the risk of these injuries months and years after receiving the shot. In rare cases, mRNA shots have been shown to cause myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the sac-like lining surrounding the heart.
When Sir Chris Whitty told the Covid Inquiry last week that the decision to make Covid vaccines mandatory was “100% political”, my jaw hit the floor. Whoa! What about the government’s insistence that it was “following the science”? What about informed consent? How could mandatory vaccination even be contemplated if the Chief Medical Officer was against it? For anyone who’s blocked out the memory of the awful decisions the government too often took during the pandemic, let’s remind ourselves that care home workers were sacked if they refused to be vaccinated, despite the fact that the vaccine did not stop infection or transmission.
Service members will receive back pay. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to reinstate service members booted from the military for declining to get COVID-19 vaccine jabs, according to the White House. "The Executive Order directs the Secretary of Defense to reinstate all members of the military (active and reserve) who were discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine and who request to be reinstated," according to the White House fact sheet. The service members who are reinstated will be restored to their prior rank, and will be provided back pay and benefits, according to the fact sheet.
President Donald Trump is expected to reinstate thousands of troops thrown out of the military for refusing the COVID vaccine, DailyMail.com can confirm.

A bill has been proposed to provide state compensation for illnesses or adverse reactions that occur after Covid-19 vaccination by presuming causality if there is a “temporal probability.” On Thursday, Rep. Kim Mi-ae of the ruling People Power Party, a National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee member, introduced the “Special Act on Compensation for Damages Caused by Covid-19 Vaccination.”
Problems anticipated as jabs developed more quickly and with less extensive clinical trials than usual The Government anticipated a £1.7 billion bill for injuries caused by the coronavirus vaccine, the Covid Inquiry has heard. Documents shown to the inquiry reveal the Government was prepared for problems because Covid vaccines were developed at a “much faster pace” and would not be put through “more extensive clinical trials that would usually be the norm”.
Families of those harmed by Covid vaccines told the UK Covid Inquiry they were forced to support each other during the pandemic because there was no other help. Kate Scott, who represents the group Vaccine Injured and Bereaved UK (VIBUK), said they felt they were "almost being pushed into the shadows during the pandemic". The inquiry also heard from a victims' group in Scotland which raised concerns that the vaccine had been rolled out too quickly, and that safety had been sacrificed for speed.
Vaccine damage payment scheme ‘inadequate and inefficient,’ says Vaccine Injured spokesperson. People who were severely harmed by Covid vaccines faced an “inadequate and inefficient” process for obtaining a government payout, with many rejected and others waiting years for a decision, the Covid inquiry has heard. The vaccine damage payment scheme offers a one-off sum of £120,000 to people who have such serious adverse reactions to the vaccines that they are at least 60% disabled. But people affected by vaccine injuries told the inquiry they did not get the help and financial support they deserved.
Groups representing thousands of people who suffered ill health – and families who lost loved ones – after having COVID-19 vaccinations are to tell the Public Inquiry into how the pandemic was handled that they have been left feeling discriminated against and forgotten. The Inquiry will this week hear submissions from representatives of UKCVFamily, Vaccine Injured Bereaved UK (VIBUK) and the Scottish Vaccine Injury Group, which collectively represent thousands of vaccine-injured people.
Campaigners call for urgent reform to ‘inefficient and ineffective’ compensation scheme The payment scheme for people injured by vaccines has cost taxpayers more to run than it has paid out to victims, official figures suggest, fuelling calls for “urgent reform”. The Government has spent more than £25 million since Nov 1 2021 on medically assessing thousands of claims that vaccinations have left people seriously disabled. It is more than the total £23.6 million that since that date has been paid out to 197 victims, with each claim worth £120,000.
A leading vaccine injury campaigner has highlighted the "indescribable trauma" faced by those seeking compensation for Covid vaccine side effects. Ruth O'Rafferty, co-founder of the Scottish Vaccine Injury Group, told GB News that proving the required 60 per cent permanent disability threshold is "very difficult".
The wife of a man left with brain damage after receiving the AstraZeneca (AZUK) vaccine is due to give evidence to Module 4 of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry on Wednesday 15 January 2025. Kate Scott and her husband Jamie are Core Participants at the Covid Inquiry as it investigates the impact of the pandemic on the adult social care sector across the UK. They are part of a group of 50 claimants represented by law firm Leigh Day who have been seriously injured or bereaved as a result of a side-effect of the AZUK Covid-19 vaccine.
Health Secretary has ‘commissioned officials to work up a number of options. The Health Secretary is looking at changing the law regarding compensation for people harmed by Covid vaccines amid concern it doesn’t offer enough support. Wes Streeting has written to the wife of a man left with permanent brain damage after having the AstraZeneca jab, saying he has “commissioned officials to work up a number of options” to reform the current vaccine damage payment scheme (VDPS).’
Patients whose health has been ravaged after taking Covid-19 vaccines are calling for more support as the Government faces paying out tens of millions of pounds in damages.
