“I’ve been encouraged. The med I get from the VA effects my auto immune system so..........”

And from what I understand, the Vax compromises the immune system. That would be a double whammie. There is absolutely no way you should be required to get the shots.

I am 70 and only go into my clinic once a year for regular checks. My Dr is a hard core conservative. I see him in Oct. and I hope he’s still there but knowing him he will tell them to go to hell.

Best to you, friend.

May God bless us and may the evil bastards go to Hell.

I show up for my shots and to see my rheumo doc. My primary as needed at a satellite location. Otherwise I don’t go.

Off topic. But I am curious why someone would use the VA medical services rather then medicare. I don't have ether yet, I'm too young. But I was in USAF for 4 years and I'm curious what I should do when the time comes. Thanks.

I have an autoimmune condition that has been in remission my neurologist who is in research at UCLA med center told me under no circumstances to take this vaccine, he doesn’t have enough data to KNOW how this vaccine affects the immune system!! He has had myself AND all of his patients on a supplement regimen from day one he has not had ONE patient as of yet to contract this virus and these are folks with immune disorders!! He has been absolutely FURIOUS that meds that could absolutely suppress the virus have been BANNED from being prescribed!!!

My first thought on this imperial decree was how the VA is having such a hard time retaining good people -- in just a few years I have seen many good docs retire early, due to overwork, low pay and, most recently, due to all the COVID madness.

This is going to make it worse. Perhaps much worse.

I have also seen the constant queries of "have you been vaccinated yet?", to which the answer is "No, and I have no intention to. I have never had a flu vaccine either, and I have never had the flu. This is no different."

If the dictatorial mandate ever does get handed down, I will still refuse, even if it means no more VA coverage.

I'm sure that will get dragged through the courts for years on end, and in the meanwhile I will just make do. I eat well and keep myself in shape, so I don't need much anyway.

But the fact that such a mandate would even be given tells me that this is nothing about 'public health' and that the intentions are ungood. As if we didn't know that already.
