Anthrax Vaccine Whistleblower

NSWBC welcomes a new member, Major Thomas Rempfer.

Rempfer, Thomas L., Major (Current)

Major Rempfer's military service began in 1983 in the active duty USAF, later serving in the Air National Guard and USAF Reserves. As a 1987 USAF Academy Distinguished Graduate, he went on to pilot F-16s, F-117s, and A-10s.

While a member of the Connecticut National Guard, Major Rempfer a colleague, Lt.Col Russell E. Dingle, were tasked to research the anthrax vaccine immunization program (AVIP) for their Commander. The officers warned the chain of command about the vaccine's experimental status and program's illegality, but were retaliated against with the loss of their pilot positions. The officers testified at the first congressional AVIP oversight hearing on March 24, 1999, and have pursued judicial review through an FDA Citizen Petition, the Federal False Claims Act, the CT Whistleblower statute, the CT FOIA process, the USAF Board for Correction of Military Records, and the Federal Administrative Procedures Act. Lt.Col Dingle passed away in September of 2005. Major Rempfer continues to pursue corrections of records for all punished Service members.

I hope someone else steps forward and blows the whistle on the medical / psychological damage caused by the vaccine too.
