If it comes from bacteria in the soil how do you get it out?
It's a mold (fungi).

I have 2
raised beds 4 feet by 32 feet, have always rotated plants and have had
four years of no tomatoes. I am determined to fix this, and ideas?

If you have soil issues:

one way is to replace all the soil

another is to fumigate your soil - there are products on the market for
this (my neighbour annually fumingated his soil in greenhouse with a Bayer
product)

solarise your garden beds over summer using black plastic and moisture

I immediately plant garlic and shallots in the gardens where I have grown
tomatos. These bulbs, according to various literature, have soil cleaning
properties. I cannot make any guarantee about success however you may like
to consider this option and test it. Perhaps a couple of seasons of garlic
& onions and then try tomatos again, maybe solarise theb garden beds
first.

What if I just take a big bottle of diced garlic and spread it around out
there.
I doubt it would work on fungi, but if you have nematode problems it may
help.
