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.'

It won't help anyone but lawyers. By the time the mandate goes into effect, Pfizer will have FDA approval.
The VA has over 412,000 staff. This effects those who work directly with veterans, a little over 28% of them.
Here comes the mandates!
What’s the next move for the Communist?
________________________________________
Take the veterans earned benefits away!
Do not allow them to register their vehicles!
Audit their taxes!
Threaten to take their children away!
Ban them from entering grocery stores!
Do not allow them to renew any state/federal licenses they might have!
Force them to wear GPS ankle bracelets.
On one hand, this seems illegal. On the other hand, if they had chosen the department of education, or HUD, or the IRS, I would say congrats on figuring out how to finally reduce the size of government.
so where are the unions on this, representing 200,000 employees? its a change in working condiions and should be negotiated..such as exemptions, timetable, etc, imo.
And to you as well, FRiend! :)
Is Biden now going to fire the VA doctors and destroy the medical care of us veterans?
You forgot about the camps
Note - these are in the same category of the matter of Covid deaths being “OF” or “WITH”. People die all the time of unrelated causes. And it includes ALL reports of vaccine reactions (not “injuries”).
And it is out of @200 million+ “jabs” so far.
To compare, check out total mortality in Spain (one of the better and more accessible civil records systems in Europe).
They have “jabbed” @ 70% of their population so far, over the last three months.
Latest report (a pdf). The blue band is the normal range of mortality over the previous ten years.

2 months? How does that make any sense???
*******************************************************
I think they are anticipating FDA approval in 2 months, until then it’s experimental, and technically illegal to coerce people into taking it.
Very good. We’re a nation of indoctrinated, unable to think critically or for themselves, sheep.
“Longer term effects are another matter. We will see, eventually.”
YA think????
Can you please explain that?
Destroy VA medical care? 😂. There were advances with 45 but now...... It’s been good for me but no major issues. For now. Keep the faith.
“So 21 USC 360 states that no experimental vaccine can be mandatory,...”
Where? What paragraph/section?
Yep, I just got one today in the mail.
They are sure in a hurry to get this toxin into everyone’s system.
“I find it difficult to believe anyone over the age of 65 would not get the vaccine “
Why? I’ve had covid and now have natural (superior) immunity. Why would I want to deal with the side effects of the vaccine, especially long-term, which no one has any clue about.
I find it difficult to believe anyone over the age of 65 would not get the vaccine but I understand why younger people would not.

Well, since my family has a history of clotting disorders and strokes, that’s one reason.
In addition, if the shot was a traditional vaccine with inactivated virus, and no reports of clotting/thrombosis issues had been reported, then I might consider it. But it is not.
Also, I tend to be cautious, for example, I always ask for generic drugs. That way sufficient time has passed to surface any problems such as Viox had. And I can do research to consider the pros and cons.
And there has been no long term studies on these shots, so that’s an unknown that I doesn’t allow me to know all the pros and cons. And the data in VAERS is unusual enough to be a red flag.
And finally, the shot is still in an experimental trial phase, and I object to being a human lab rat.
I could go on, for quite a bit longer and still never have to mention the mark of the beast.
“There was a post on here that one veteran that received a shot that they snuck the covid in in also”
How would the victim find out?
