The Trump administration is turning the last page on another destructive and ineffective Biden-era policy, instructing federal agencies to remove employees’ Covid vaccine status from their records.
This wide-reaching policy shift comes via new guidance from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued new guidance on Friday directing all federal agencies to eliminate any record of an employee’s COVID-19 vaccination status, prior noncompliance with vaccine mandates, or requests for exemptions from such mandates.”Things got out of hand during the pandemic, and federal workers were fired, punished, or sidelined for simply making a personal medical decision,” OPM Director Scott Kupor said in a statement. “That should never have happened.”
All agencies have one month to comply with the memo.
In a memo to heads and acting heads of departments and agencies Friday, Kupor announced that, effective immediately, agencies are barred from using a person’s vaccine history or exemption requests in any employment-related decision, including hiring, promotion, discipline or termination.Unless an employee affirmatively opts out within 90 days, all vaccine-related information must be permanently removed from both physical and electronic personnel files.Agencies must certify compliance with the memo by Sept. 8, according to the memo.
The senseless Biden-era COVID-19 mandate forced 8000 U.S. military personnel to abruptly end their careers. And while President Donald Trump and his team work diligently to erase all the failure and the destruction wrought by the senile inanity and his auto-pen, not all of the harm can be undone.
The military reinstatement program for those who experienced vaccine-refusal separations follows a January 2025 executive order that allows troops discharged solely for vaccine refusal to return with their prior rank, and possibly with back pay.
As of today, the number of reenlistments remains quite low, based on available data.
And these numbers don’t include service academy students who were not allowed to graduate or be commissioned for their vaccine refusal.
Not only did our country lose the talents and skills of over 8000 individuals in our armed services, but COVID is now an endemic disease. The vaccines failed to “stop the spread”. Furthermore, as new studies become available to the public, there is mounting evidence that they were less safe than advertised…especially to the population of young and healthy men and women who were booted out because of the Biden mandate.
