Well yes, thats what VA medical centers are, but the federal mandate for healthcare workers was issued by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. It applies to any facility that accepts those subsidies. The VA has nothing to do with Medicare and Medicaid...
It defies all logic, but that's not how society operates any longer... Unfortunately, we have contracts that are ongoing and need workers onsite immediately and they will not badge you without the jab... It's like they're totally ignoring the court orders. I just want to know how to escalate it to someone who can enforce the order.
Take a look around the world at places like Australia and Austria and tell me it doesn't matter... Tyranny is happening in those places and our leaders would do the same if they could. Fortunately, we still operate by the constitution in some regard. There comes a time when you draw a line in the sand and say do not cross it.
I get the sentiment on a national mandate. However the OP specifically asked about VA healthcare facilities, where I can only assume they have been required to submit record of and maintain any number of other vaccines as we all do in healthcare. So from that standpoint I don't see the basis for complaining, we have the privilege of caring for people or working in facilities that do, being around sick people requires we decrease the risk on both sides of the equation.
How would you feel if you were told you could never....ever remove your hat and boots.....for the rest of your life?
I agree with you to some degree on requiring it if it truly acted as a vaccine and disallowed contraction. The vaccine no longer does and may not have in the earlier strains that well either. That is where you lose me on it being for protecting others... It should be a personal choice because you're just as likely to get it and pass it on with or without the vaccine. That has been proven everywhere now. It is also so politicized by the elites with bad facts that it just goes against everything so many people know it terms of just getting in line. Sorry that they have lost all credibility over the last few years. Its no longer about safety. That's where it gets me.
Yep, and there's some new studies out that have shown that a 4th shot actually decreases one's immunity. That's the problem with these shots.......nobody really knows what's going to happen a few years into this from the shots.......or additional shots every year or every few months. So given that 99.75% of the U.S. population and 99.93% of the world population has survived this pandemic over the past two years, it should be mighty hard to sell this vaccine to logical, reasoning, thinking folks......if they aren't high risk.
UMMMM.... You do know vaccinated people can still get it and pass it on? Your vaccine does almost nothing to change that...and it MAY make your symptoms less than if you were unvaccinated but with the new variant that is hard to tell.
This is what I'm talking about. I think this vaccine or test mandate is blocked by the courts... How are these federal institutions not required to follow the order?
