The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on Monday become the first federal agency to require its frontline health care workers to be vaccinated.
President Joe Biden confirmed the move in a brief statement to reporters Monday afternoon.
'Yes. Veteran Affairs is going to in fact require that all docs working in facilities are going to have to be vaccinated,' Biden said, following a report quoting his Veterans Affairs secretary regarding health care workers at the VA.
115,000 staffers will have two months to get inoculated against the coronavirus, and face being fired if they do not oblige.
President Biden confirmed that 'all docs' at the VA would be asked to get the shot ahead of his meeting with the Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi in the Oval Office.
Denis McDonough, the secretary of veterans affairs, told the New York Times: 'I am doing this because it’s the best way to keep our veterans safe, full stop.
He added that the mandates would apply to the employees who have the most contact with patients.
This includes doctors, dentists, nurses, physicians assistants and physical therapists at VA medical centers across the country.
The Biden administration has so far been unwilling to back federal vaccine mandates, and has insisted it is up to private companies.
The move came after White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the White House 'supports the steps of hospitals' to require staff to get vaccinated, saying it 'could be a guide for us on what to do with our own workforce here from the federal government.'
She noted there are 'certain powers' that the federal government has, and 'certain powers that the federal government does not have.'

No. The smallpox vaccine, which was mandated btw, was a dangerous vaccine. And not approved by the FDA as one freeper suggested. 😂😂😂
We have a criminal government run by totalitarian democrats.
Good for you.
I don't know about you, but to me these figures seem pretty "LARGE"...
These figures are reporting for only 27 of around 50 countries in Europe, so the actual European numbers will be higher. Also, it is said of the "injuries", approximately 50% are considered "serious".
Additionally, there are other countries in the world giving these experimental "vaccines" as well and that will further increase the tolls.
... and the beat rolls on...
I love your post.
You’re serious?
FReepers sooooo want something that actually puts the bad guys into prison cells, that we sometimes grasp at rumors and vapors. They can seem so juicy at first glance.
Yep..
Its not equal to or greater. Never has been.
You believe that? 😂😂😂😂😂
Since when can you fire federal employees??
I sure hope they can SUE THE BASTARDS!
“Here we go”
Another day with increased focus on some aspect of the “vax”. At the same time, accountability for it’s origin slides deeper down the rabbit hole. At this rate, acceptance will be a roll-over fact of life.
Enjoy your third jab. Maybe get 4 or 5...
Which has nothing to do with the IQ test questions, and yours is looking kinda bleak at this point. Let's try again:
They’d rather have everyone on unemployment than being productive members of society.
So now they can have the virus in their body and wont have signs of sickness so they can give to others?
Good luck firing a federal employee. Maybe they will be sent home with full pay for not getting the vaccine
Heh, gut-feeling...I crack myself up sometimes.
Dont have a crappy attitude. 😅 I just sent in my, uh, sample to determine if i need a full scoping. Going tomorrow for an ultra sound of my left jugular. Had it done before so just a recheck looking for any changes. Good luck on your adventure.
