DoD Admits Covid Shot Mandate Unlawful
On May 7, 2025, the Department of Defense published a memo in which it admitted in writing that the implementation of its covid shot mandate was unlawful. This echoes similar remarks made by Secretary Pete Hegseth in a video released on April 23, 2025. The May 7 memo offered updated guidance on DoD's ongoing plan to offer records correction for those impacted by the mandate. I go through the memo offering my thoughts on what I think is good and where I think the plan still falls short.

Soldiers, and many other people, were under duress to comply with vaccine mandates, under threat of losing their livelihood.
It’s impossible for vaccinators to obtain valid voluntary informed consent for vaccination from people who are under duress to comply - duress vitiates consent.
How could the vaccinators collaborate with this intimidation? They knew people were appearing before them under coercion, they should have refused to participate in this assault - they are the ones wielding the needle piercing the skin and injecting the contents, is this not battery without valid consent?
This is relevant to my query re the US PREP Act, see my email sent on 27 February 2025:

For the attention of:
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
US Department of Health and Human Services
Dear Secretary Kennedy, please could you advise to what extent the PREP Act provides immunity from criminal liability for administrators of medical countermeasures, that would arise where battery and clinical negligence occur due to a failure to obtain valid informed consent for medical countermeasures?Â
I look forward to your response on this matter.
Yours sincerely

I previously sent my query to former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on 23 April 2024, with no response, and no response as yet from HHS Secretary Kennedy.
