Dozens of military service members are currently being discharged after they declined the flu shot, citing medical, religious, and Constitutional reasons. They have been discriminated against, put on leave without pay, and ordered before military discharge boards.This week, The Feds hosts four military service members who are currently facing discharge:Brennan Schilperoort “Skip”, Major, US Air Force Air Mobility CommandChris Babscak, Technical Sergeant, Arkansas Air National GuardKim Bitter, Major, Nurse in the US Air Force ReserveTony Oslin, Technical Sergeant, Air Force National GuardIn this episode, we discuss how the flu shot requirement is inherently discriminatory, the fact that these harms are still continuing under the second Trump administration, how the wrongs can be righted and how to avoid unconstitutional actions like these in the future.An update to the DoD policy on flu shots states that the flu shot will only be given to “Service members” when it “most directly contributes to readiness”. As of May 29, 2025, the regulations have been updated to change the specifications for who is required to get a flu shot and who is not, but the actions to sever members from military service for exercising their rights to refuse an injection continue.To see the memo yourself please see these posts on X: https://x.com/RealChapAmerica/status/1930304887750853054 https://x.com/PamLongCO/status/1930980255717601765If you want to join the military members and supporters in a pledge to seek accountability for unlawful actions being taken please sign the declaration here: https://militaryaccountability.net If you are ready to take further action, please contact your senators and representatives and make your voice be heard. https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative Check out Feds For Freedom's SubstackWatch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedomSupport the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/joinFollow Feds For Freedom on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook: @feds4freedomusa

Paul Thomas, MD, well-known retired pediatrician, joins The Feds this week to shed light on the corruption within the medical system that attempted to strip him of his ability to provide informed consent. After witnessing healthy children become autistic within his own practice, he began studying the vaccinations he offered. He published The Vaccine Friendly Plan, providing informed consent for his readers and suggesting an alternative vaccination plan. The Oregon Medical Board then asked him to prove his plan was safer and more effective than the CDC schedule. He responded by hiring outside analysts and conducting a vaxxed-unvaxxed study within his own practice. After his findings, and during COVID, the medical board stripped him of his license. This week, we hear his story, including an update regarding his lawsuit, discuss waning immunity in the middle-aged population, chat about the recent measles cases, and talk about his new book, Vax Facts: What to Consider before Vaccinating at All Ages and Stages of Life. We also hear what Dr. Paul has been doing alternatively to treat his recently diagnosed cancer. Dr. Paul is the host of Good Morning CHD - Pediatric Perspectives and founder & host of With The Wind: Science Revealed. He is the co-founder of KidsFirst4Ever.com.

Joining the podcast this week is Kristi Dobbs, a dental hygienist who was severely injured by the COVID-19 shot in January 2021. Kristi reached out to many for help, including NIH itself, but was gaslit and censored repeatedly. She has found the most healing through dietary changes and through the community she helped form, React 19. In our discussion, Kristi sheds light on the common difficulties the vaccine injured face in receiving medical help, and the emotional and spiritual toll that results. Kristi currently serves at React 19’s board secretary and is now an integrative dental hygienist, having completely changed the way she approached dentistry as a result of her vaccine injury experience.React 19: https://www.react19.org/Follow React 19: Instagram | X | FacebookBrianne Dressen's book Worth a ShotCheck out Feds For Freedom's SubstackWatch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedomSupport the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/joinFollow Feds For Freedom on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook: @feds4freedomusa
