House Joint Resolution 98, sponsored by Representative Fritts, urges the United States Congress to mandate that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) include COVID-19 treatments and anthrax vaccinations as qualifying conditions for care under the PACT Act. The resolution highlights concerns regarding the unlawful administration of these treatments to servicemembers, emphasizing a history of experimental medical practices without consent and the potential adverse effects on national security and military readiness. It calls for recognition of the harm caused by these substances, particularly in light of the VA's slow response to toxic exposures, which has often left veterans without recourse for decades.

Additionally, the resolution requests a comprehensive investigation into the decision-making processes surrounding the administration of COVID-19 treatments and anthrax vaccinations, particularly regarding their legal status and potential side effects. It seeks accountability from those responsible for these decisions and aims to ensure that servicemembers receive the care and benefits they deserve under the PACT Act. A certified copy of the resolution will be sent to key congressional leaders and the Tennessee Congressional delegation.
