Colonel Tom “Buzz” Rempfer, USAF retired, ended his military career instructing and evaluating MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper missions. Past flying assignments included duty in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe as an F-16 flight lead, F-117 instructor pilot, C-130 aircraft commander, and A10 forward air controller, with a total flight time of over 5,500 hours. He earned a master’s degree through the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security and received the program’s Outstanding Thesis Award. He also served on the USAF Chief of Staff’s Cyberspace Task Force. Colonel Rempfer was a distinguished graduate from pilot training and the USAF Academy where he was an all-American boxer.
Colonel Rempfer served in a retired capacity on the Military Advisory Councils for Representative Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ-2d) and the Truth for Health Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity. Tom’s civilian career as a commercial airline pilot included flying the B-787, B-777, B-767, B-757, B-737, A-300, DC-10, MD-80, and ATR-42 aircraft, plus he volunteered with his airline pilot union to assist with aeromedical and disability matters. Buzz continues to crisscross the oceans, never veering from his course, telling his and Russ Dingle’s unyielding story to a captive audience of gracious pilots.
Reviews
“My uncle, President John F. Kennedy, observed that moral courage is a rarer commodity than physical courage in war. Tom Rempfer has both. Tom was unyielding in his struggle to stop the Defense Department from coercively injecting an experimental, untested, unlicensed, worthless, and dangerous, zero-liability anthrax vaccine into a million military service members during the 1990 first Gulf War, and again starting in 1998. Tom’s example as an ultimately successful advocate gives us hope that we may one day restore our constitutional rights and rule of law to America.”
—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Esq., Author of The Real Anthony Fauci and The Wuhan Cover-Up
“As documented in Colonel Rempfer’s Unyielding, the genetic COVID-19 vaccine mandate on an unwilling fighting force has been a disaster for the US military. By the colossal blunders of ignoring natural immunity and willful blindness to COVID-19 vaccine safety, our military leaders all the way up to the commander in chief will be held accountable and will face justice for the irreparable damage done to the men and women who have dedicated their lives to defending and serving our country. Colonel Rempfer’s Unyielding commands this accountability of senior officials.”
—Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Coauthor of Courage to Face Covid-19
“We ask the men and women who serve in the military to risk their lives in defense of our great nation. We have a solemn responsibility to ensure that we never place them in needless danger or treat them as a collective case study in which to conduct mental and physical experiments. Sadly, this has not always been the case, as author Tom Rempfer, Colonel, USAF retired, so clearly points out.”
—Christopher Shays, Member of Congress 1987 to 2009, Chairman of the Government Reform Committee's National Security Subcommittee
“Had our government learned from the 2001 false flag anthrax attacks, likely perpetuated by a military laboratory insider to save the anthrax vaccine program, accountability would have dictated safeguards to preclude a reoccurrence. But we didn't learn, resulting in systemic errors and a mismanaged worldwide pandemic of suspicious origins. Colonel Rempfer’s Unyielding is the history lesson that documents the patterns to ensure it never happens again and that trust might be restored.”
—Harvey A. Risch, MD, PhD; Professor Emeritus and Senior Research Scientist in Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health
“History will acclaim Unyielding by Col. Thomas Rempfer as the exemplary treatise on governmental crimes, which should never have happened or occur again. It takes great courage to counter massive injustice. We are inspired by this courage that is so eloquently and compellingly written in Unyielding. What is described with the flawed anthrax vaccine mandates should have been recognized to prevent the flawed COVID-19 mandates.”

“Read and heed Unyielding. It’s born from the principles our nation required of Colonel Rempfer to ensure the integrity and readiness of America’s armed forces. The author’s meritorious victories during decades of professional dissent mirrored the unique heritage of our Air Force and constitutional founders. Buzz lived the code and donned the armor of integrity, which protected him from reprisal. May his call to erase the inequities and punishments over anthrax and COVID mandates unify the compassion of all Americans.”
—Rod Bishop, Lieutenant General, USAF (retired)
“Defending our nation's armed forces was Colonel Buzz Rempfer's job as a fighter pilot. Every American should be grateful that he internalized his oath and used his fighter pilot skills to dutifully attack and help halt illegal mandates.”
—Thomas G. McInerney, Lieutenant General, USAF (retired)
“Unyielding in one word describes Colonel Tom Rempfer’s personal courage during his quest over twenty years to spotlight the physical dangers and injustices created by the mandatory military anthrax and covid vaccinations. Tom’s deep sense of duty compelled him to challenge the mandates coming from higher authorities at great personal career risk. He came under intense pressure throughout this ordeal, but he never compromised his deep sense of duty to stand tall in the face of fire as his inspiring book chronicles. Tom’s quest is to seek the facts and the truth and hold people accountable who intentionally ignore the 'truth.' Colonel Rempfer was not only a warrior in the air, but more importantly, a warrior in the moral fight for what is right versus wrong.”
—Joe Arbuckle, Major General, US Army (retired)
“Buzz Rempfer shacks the target in his memoir, Unyielding! As the USAFs first pilot-physician to fly the F-22 Raptor, I know firsthand that fighter pilots are the first to admit their mistakes, and the debrief is where our lessons are learned and corrected regardless of rank. We have a tenacious commitment to excellence. Buzz once again hits the nail on the head and recognizes that doctors ‘debrief’ but often less transparently than fighter pilots. If there’s one thing I learned as a dual qualified asset, it’s that physicians and public policymakers should remember their oaths respectively—first, do no harm; and second, support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Buzz upheld his oath!”
—Jay T. Flottmann, MD, USAF (retired); Pilot-Physician (F-15C, F-22, T-38)
“Men of Honor. They were who I sought to emulate during my lifelong journey in uniform. The truest virtue of a warrior is revealed in his story. When you find those warriors like Col. Tom 'Buzz' Rempfer, you will know a man of honor stands.”
—LTC Pete Chambers, DO (Ret.) US Army (retired), Special Operations Flight Surgeon, Green Beret
“Colonel 'Buzz' Rempfer is a model leader; principled, self-sacrificing, professional, and unyielding in his pursuit of truth. His intestinal fortitude and ability to assiduously sift through the myriad minefields of law, corruption, and intransigent leadership produced a masterpiece. I firmly believe his analysis will be utilized to educate future generations of military leadership.”
—Scott Keller, DSS, Lieutenant Colonel USMC/USAF (retired) (B-787/777/767/757, MD-80, TA-4, F-5/16/18)
