The VA is rationing vaccines to veterans while Congress and its staffers are jumping to the head of the line to get theirs.
The road distance between the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Washington D.C. and the U.S. Capitol is less than four miles.
As far as Congress caring for combat disabled veterans and our fellow veterans who have had a rough go, impoverishing themselves or destroying their health through substance abuse, the distance might as well be measured in light years. As a point of comparison, a light year is six trillion miles.
Just before official Washington stood down for the long Christmas weekend I called Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) Washington and asked how they are doing on vaccinating their veterans. I received a very polite response “call back in two weeks we do not have the vaccine." Cutting the person some slack, I hope she actually meant we have enough for hospital first responders and those very old and infirm, but did not say that.
That very same night I received a system wide e-mail announcing with great pride the initial list of facilities with the vaccine, which included VAMC Washington. The intent to inform was decent but it also tragically had embedded an unrelated message for older combat disabled veterans and included the need for them to accept rationing of the vaccine “after these first 2 groups.” They sent:
Under this plan, we’re now offering vaccines to these 2 groups:
Veterans living in our long-term care facilities, and VA health care personnel. Vaccinating our VA health care personnel helps us continue providing care for Veterans.
Snip
So less than four miles from U.S. capital, the veterans of Washington D.C. are facing the rationing of the COVID vaccine while senators and congressman have already been vaccinated.

Most of these swamp creatures are atheists because the thought of a judgement day is too frightening to consider.
Why do we despise Congress? Shall we count the ways?
Taxation without representation...
I’m guessing if Houston Methodist has resorted to offering a $500 bribe to get employees to submit it shouldn’t be all that difficult to get one if you really want it.
I read your posted answer.
Atheists state that given sufficient evidence, they just might ‘believe’.
The problem with the suggested ‘judgment day scenario’ is that there is no evidence to examine of such a thing. Physical evidence, not written lines in a book, they would say.
Me? I’m a disabled milvet. Threats of fire and brimstone? Been there done that. Next!
Even an atheist is curious about the afterlife.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will get his vaccination before We-the-People will!
“the rationing of the COVID vaccine while senators and congressman have already been vaccinated.”
Since I don’t entirely trust the vaccines, I’m having a hard time seeing the problem here. We SHOULD test this stuff on the most worthless part of society first. And we SHOULD give liberals the highest priority.
In New York State, the Governor determined that prison inmates and drug rehab participants are at the head of the line.
Meanwhile Cuomo is concerned that existing vaccines in NYS are coming up on their expiration dates, and not being distributed fast enough.
Ya Think that might be a problem ?
And Cuomo probably expects a Nobel Prize for all the harm he has caused and the idiocy he spews.
THANK you for putting a bright spin on that! I guess this is how we keep our sanity.
No one I know wants the vaccine. We want Hydroxychloroquine!
I don’t want the Faucci vaccine either. Old people at risk might want to take it.
I don’t trust a vaccine administered by the China Joe and the Ho regime.
A number of states are also prioritizing people of color over whites, in the name of justice, knowing it means more overall people die.
