Whistleblower, Veteran Unmasks the VA’s Unethical Experimentation

Sonny Fleeman is a federal whistleblower and a member of Feds for Freedom, as well as a signatory of the Declaration of Military Accountability. He made it clear that his opinions are personal and do not represent any government entity, employer, or organization.

During his examination of a set of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to informed consent for the COVID-19 vaccine, he came across the term Motivational Interviewing (MI). He explained that MI is a technique employed by counselors to facilitate positive transformations in individuals’ lives.

On the surface, the method appears harmless, but while writing for Feds for Freedom, Fleeman “[unmasked] the VA’s unethical experimentation,” [and alleged] a disturbing misuse of MI at Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities.” According to him, “Ethical boundaries were broken, and veterans were exposed to psychological manipulation.”

Fleeman told TGP, “VA medical centers were using Motivational Interviewing as a psychological tool to convince veterans to get the COVID-19 injection.” He explained, “MI and other strategies were being used to address hesitancy to getting the shot, all under the guise of routine care.”

Supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs via the Health Services Research & Development (HSR&D) program, he also found that MI was being employed as a component of a broader research investigation carried out by the VA.

“Traditional approaches to get the shot were being used, while the new [MI] approach was also being introduced at various VA medical centers.”

“When you’re doing trials on human subjects with an experimental intervention, you have to have informed consent,” he explained. “Did anyone give their consent to be subjected to a psychological, experimental intervention?”

Upon examining the study protocol and informed consent forms, Fleeman realized that veterans were not given informed consent until after the “coercive psychological intervention” had already taken place. He found that consent forms were only provided to certain veterans after they had undergone the “experimental intervention,” and solely for their participation in the research aspect of the study.

“In other words,” he said, “the VA obtained consent from those chosen for the research, but none of the veterans appeared to have consented to the experimental psychological intervention itself beforehand.”

He argued, “They used an experimental intervention to convince veterans to get injected with an experimental gene therapy, and this is fraudulent and a violation of a veteran’s right. And for this, he believes the VA should be held accountable.

Fleeman is optimistic that the incoming presidential administration and Congress will recognize the COVID-19 vaccine as a “gene therapy product” and classify it as a toxin under the PACT Act.

It was previously reported that “within the Toxic Exposure Risk Activity (TERA) provisions for veterans to obtain a screening for their toxic exposures, the policy states, “Vaccines and medications in general are not considered participation in a TERA [under the PACT Act] because there is no scientific or medical evidence that supports the conclusion that vaccines and medications administered to Service Members have resulted in long-term adverse health effects.”

“In summary,” Fleeman said, “the VA applies a liberal interpretation of facts and circumstances to all forms of toxic exposure, except for those related to vaccines, pseudo-vaccines, and pharmaceuticals.” According to him, “For these, facts and circumstances do not apply to prevent discouraging participation in risks that are not properly investigated or disclosed.”

“All we need to do is make sure the next VA Secretary commits to removing this note from the PACT standard operating procedure,” he offered. “Once it’s removed, claims processors will be able to apply the same standards to vaccines, pseudo vaccines, and medications as they do to other forms of exposure.”

“If the facts and circumstances are consistent,” he said, “they will have to concede exposure, especially considering that the mRNA jabs are toxic [and] every single service member injected with these poison shots would be covered for life.”

Currently, burn pit exposure, toxins from IEDs, chlorine bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, burning oil wells, and the use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War are acknowledged as examples of toxic substances covered by the PACT Act.

However, despite its proven harmful effects on service members and veterans nationwide, the COVID-19 vaccine is not included. Fleeman argued that this discrepancy must be addressed.
