BREAKING: Former CDC Director Robert Redfield Slams Biden-Era Military COVID Vaccine Mandate as Having “No Scientific Justification”
This week on Straight to the Point, I sat down with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield and Brianne Dressen — a vaccine injury advocate who was a clinical trial volunteer that developed lifelong neuropathy within one hour of taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Redfield exclusively reveals that he believes the Biden-era military mandates had “no scientific justification...and was an emotional decision," while noting institutional reluctance to acknowledge harms to young service members with strong immune systems. Dressen discusses the disproportionate toll the vaccine took on young service members, including @StancikKaroline who we previously interviewed. This wide ranging interview digs deep on the vaccine fallout for our nation's service members.

In response to our questions, a VA spokesperson said “Between December 2020 and December 2025, 53 cases of myocarditis were identified among over 5.6 million VHA-enrolled Veterans who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Veterans are eligible for service connection if myocarditis develops during active duty…”
A Department of War official said DoW “is making reinstatement available to all members of the military (active and reserve components) who were discharged solely for refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and who request to be reinstated. The Department has reached out to the 8,700 Service members who were unjustly separated to apologize, offer information on reinstatement, and encourage them to rejoin the military.”
“As of May 2026, more than 200 former Service members who were discharged under the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccination mandate have been reinstated or re-accessed. The Services are actively tracking more than 800 additional former Service members who have expressed interest in rejoining the military.”
Asked about the high rejection rate, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program did not respond.
This forest plot compares COVID-19 treatments and their costs.
Drugs circled in red were included in COVID-19 treatment guidelines — they also just happen to be expensive patented drugs.
Cheap, effective generic drugs need not apply. In fact, the COVID Cartel sabotaged and suppressed these options.
It's no surprise that trust in Big Pharma and the medical establishment has eroded.
If you aren’t ready to potentially have a disabled child then you’re not ready for parenthood. Your child could become disabled at any period in their life.
Prior to 1997, there was serious media coverage on vaccine injuries.
The swine flu vaccine was pulled from the market after 25-30 deaths were associated with it.
Today, there are over 39,000 deaths associated with the COVID shot and countless more injuries. Yet the legacy media remains silent.
Could Big Pharma’s billions of dollars in advertising spending be the reason?
@TomSteyer This type of rhetoric is deliberate. Saying “every ballot” instead of “every legal vote”. That’s the tell. The real issue is making sure we only count ballots cast lawfully by actual eligible American voters. Nothing more, nothing less. We the people deserve better!
It boggles my mind how at ANY single moment, for ANY reason, HUNDREDS of Leftists can show up instantly with supplies and riot for WEEKS.
Normal people have to rearrange their entire day to show up anywhere…
Are these people just always on call?!!!!
🚨BREAKING: ANTIFA RIOTERS ARE NOW ATTACKING POLICE HORSES OUTSIDE ICE NEWARK
LARGE pieces of wood and ROCKS are being thrown at the horses’ heads while other rioters get in the horses’ faces with makeshift shields and umbrellas
THESE ARE NOT PROTESTORS. THESE ARE MILITANTS
🚨We have found 1575 patients at HoustonMethodist who were admitted to the hospital shortly after receiving a Covid shot and not reported to VAERS.
“Stacy”, a 27 year old female, got her first COVID-19 shot 1/7/2022 and was admitted to HoustonMethodist 12 days later on 1/19/2022. Her primary diagnosis was “Cardiomegaly” and her secondary diagnosis was “Hyperkalemia”. She died on 1/19/2022, just 12 days after the vaccine.
We are gathering more…. Please share with your Houston friends. Legal action forthcoming.
Jimmy Kimmel spent five minutes trashing Spencer Pratt and urging viewers to vote against him. And guess what? None of it was funny. Calling it "comedy" lets ABC dodge equal time laws. Pratt got no chance to respond. This is a clear violation of campaign law.
🚨 This is EXACTLY WHY ICE agents are FORCED to wear masks
ICE Newark rioter: “I HAVE YOUR FACE, MOTHERF***ER”
“Your WHOLE F***ING FAMILY is DEAD!”
“Your KIDS. Your WIFE. ALL DEAD!”
This is the type of TERRORISM Democrats WANT ICE agents to face by de-masking them
Thank you, @MajorCBS, for being one of the first voices in the legacy media willing to discuss this massive government scandal.
The numbers alone explain why people are demanding answers.
Reported deaths per million doses in 2023:
- COVID injection: 25.5
- Flu vaccine: 0.46
That’s a 55x higher reported death rate for the COVID injection.
If you don’t believe miracles happen, my op-ed on the doctrine of Providence, complete with reference to RC Sproul and the Westminster larger catechism, is the lead in the Washington Post’s opinion section of today’s Sunday edition. 😄
And for those who fighting the paywall, perhaps this might help! (And thanks again to religion editor @matthewschmitz for commissioning!)
there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.
This is the biggest government scandal of my lifetime, and the legacy media refuses to cover it.
The FDA knew that COVID injections were causing severe adverse events, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell’s palsy.
Americans had the Right to Know, and those affected deserve justice.
Henry Nowak’s final words were “I can’t breathe” after he was stabbed and police handcuffed *him* while he bled out on the street.
This is a 10,000x worse than George Floyd.
Why hasn’t CNN, NYT, or WaPo covered this story?
Billions of people around the world are poor. They don’t sell their daughters to be raped by old men. BBC is disgusting for covering this with empathy.
Elon just offered to fund a wrongful death lawsuit against UK police officers who handcuffed the victim of a stabbing.
Henry Novak had been stabbed by Vickrum Digwa with an 8in Sikh martial arts knife.
When officers arrived, Vickrum claimed he had been racially abused, while Henry was lying on his side, telling the police he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe.
Officers immediately took Vickrum’s side and told Henry that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault, dismissing claims that he’d been stabbed.
Henry died as a result of his injuries.
The UK is beyond a joke
