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.'

So no..you haven’t been here longer.
Another fail!
And here is the difference in one clear example of
What you THINK YOU KNOW
And what reality is.
You’re a jabtroll
There is no covid problem.
It’s b.s.and for falling for it & then spouting crap about it.
There are lies and liars
The Texas US District Court will be reversed by the 5th Circuit. They have an extremely low opinion of Judge Lynn Hughes. He is an arrogant asshole, and everyone knows it. If you are a big business, you will win no matter what the law states.
“ I have discussed this mandate extensively with leaders at VHA, the Veterans Benefits Administration and the National Cemetery Administration” ……
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So unvaccinated Vets are going to be denied healthcare by the VHA. Denied benefits by the Veterans Benefit Administration and they are prepared to bury you if you don’t comply. I hope the VA employees understand that their jobs will be gone with or without taking the vaccine. No Vets means no jobs.
Your profile shows 2008.
I have been here since 2003.
So I cannot be called a “troll”. I am not here to make propaganda or rile you up.
There are a large number of dead people, way above mortality expectations of recent years, and way above peaks of previous flu seasons.
Who died of ... something, with for the most part consistent symptoms and all from about the same time, and etc. and etc. And the same phenomenon has been observed worldwide, at about the same time, or thereabouts. And etc. and etc. It is rather absurd to deny the obvious.
You can ignore the press, and ignore the various government agencies, call it all propaganda, and much of it is, and go to the actual data, unfiltered and unspun and from original sources - and if you do, follow Feynman’s rules re data, do not pick and choose, that is being a lawyer, not a reasonable person. Come to your own conclusions.
Above all, do not be a lazy git and grab opinions from here and there as they appeal to you. I hate people like that. Do the work.
No it doesn’t meet the definition of a vaccine until they changed the definition. Your free to put whatever drug you want in your system. You seem to want to rule over others. Not very freedom based opinion.
It’s not working, making people sick but yet you cheer and demand participation. So very wrong. The odds are not in people’s favor. You cheer and demand more. More. More. Disgusting.
DeWine. Ohio. Bribe. 100$ to take the shot.
Hmm. Here is the “vaccine” working. The UK has vaccinated nearly all its vulnerable people, its gotten hit hard by the “Delta” wave over the last two months, and lost very few people. Compare the daily infections chart on top vs the chart of deaths at the bottom.

We can see the same in Spain, etc., cases of fully vaccinated countries dealing with the latest 2021 wave. Go, look.
Houston VA had only two total oncologists in 2016. Hasn’t gotten any better since then. E eryone is getting to MD Anderson for treatments.The VA pays for all the treatment there.
