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. Following the action, 115,000 staffers will have two months to get inoculated against the coronavirus, and face being fired if they do not oblige. The move comes after the American Medical Association,

This might be a good way to finally reduce the size of government payroll!

This is it. This is what we have all been waiting for.
Many are called and few are chosen.
Keep the faith.

This will ultimately find itself in front of the SCOTUS. There will be a lot of churn over this. Obviously, FedGov has decided to play dictator first, and risk getting reversed by the courts, just as the commies always do.
In the meantime, forcing people to take an emergency medical treatment with a very sordid track record, especially when other less risky treatments appear to exist, and making the condition their employment, is actionable. That's going to be pretty cold comfort for thousands that will not be bullied into this nonsense, job or otherwise.
It is pretty shocking just how far we have fallen as a nation. This could have never happened without the controlvirus being used as the hammer to throw the Constitution out the window.

Now this is the funniest thing I have heard for the goobernment in decades. Its impossible to fire a federal employee. Especially over that my body my choice thingy. The V isn't going to fire squat. Wait till the politicians get through with the VA. Who they gonna hire? Who wants to work for the VA?

Plus they have to sign a liability release before getting the jab. If you die or have an adverse reaction too effing bad sucker. Remember you volunteered by mandate. What about those who already had Covid and donât need the jab? Are they exempt?

Why don't we start with the CDC first. I understand that 15 to 20% are not vaccinated.

Meanwhile, streams of people who are not tested for ANY disease continue to walk across our southern border. I tried to discuss this contradiction with my neighbor, but she wanted no part of it. She told me she does not like to discuss politics, and I tried to tell her that what I want to talk to her about is - not politics, but Public Health for our whole country. She is not interested.
Why do so many people want to label any Deplorable as being dumb-as-a-post, while anyone else - who conforms to the current narrative, is considered well-informed. Something very Pravda-ish about the whole thing.

Look for Biden and his central committee members to pressure FDA to issue full approval for the vaccines, removing by brute force, a potential impediment to mandating vaccines for everybody who wishes to participate in our economy, including military personnel who wish to stay out of the brig. The media is already at work creating the narrative touting the miracle vaccines that were only approved after the most exhaustive tests ever in the history of the world, all peer reviewed with no corners cut. No immunity will be noted from testing the fully recovered for antibodies. Only the vaccines will be found to spawn antibodies that have any clinical significance.

I have a daughter that is a disabled vet and my hubby uses the VA for his hearing problems. This is another way to make sure that our Veterans DON'T get the care they need and deserve. I mean we all know how the current administration feels about taking care of our vets.

California just followed suit. All state employees must roll the dice on the death jab, or lose their jobs. Upwards of 2.25 million affected.
They are going to force you to take this sht if they have to hold you down with a gun to your head to do it.

I hate for anyone to die from this vaccine, but the first time a forced shot kills an employee...let the lawsuits begin!

Yes #1 and we know State Department will not be forced to vaccinate either. I am not for anyone being forced to take this experimental shot (and yes it is still accurate to describe it as such) but if its forced on the private sector then Federal employees should not be exempted.

They're all taking the king shilling...and now I'm waiting for the unions to either fight or flee, especially the nurses "associations". It's not hard to fire a Federal employee for disobeying a legitimate order. Make a scene and we'll toss in insubordination. You can sit under suspension (no pay) while your appeal processes. Or, you can resign quietly and preserve your career.

#18; Who could you sue? The manufactures got a liability exemption. as an 'experimental' drug not tested by the FDA.

If they fired everybody I doubt they would be noticed Department is full of useless people anyway like many of our government agencies who hire people to be "fair" rather on ability.
