US Senate Passes Bill Approving Mandatory Vaccinations For Veterans
conservativeread ^ | Nov 15 2015 | Janet Phelan

Posted on 11/16/2015 12:38:49 PM PST by Whenifhow

snip....A Bill has just passed the US Senate, mandating that the US Department of Veteran Affairs ensure that all veterans receive immunizations (vaccines) per a draconian schedule. At this juncture, active military must receive over a dozen vaccines. This piece of legislation is therefore an effort to extend the vaccine mandate to those who have previously served their country.

Sec. 101 of Senate Bill 1203, named the 21st Century Veterans Benefits Delivery Act, states that the Department of Veterans Affairs will be tasked with the mandate to “ensure that veterans receiving medical services under chapter 17 of title 38, United States Code, receive each immunization on the recommended adult immunization schedule at the time such immunization is indicated on that schedule.”

The schedule referred to above is frankly staggering. Over ninety vaccines are listed.

The issues here are legion. First of all, an entire group of individuals, those who at one time were in military service, will lose their inherent right to opt out of receiving what is considered prophylactic treatment. According to Anita Stewart, who served in the Air Force and now hosts Wise Women Media radio show, “This could include experimental vaccines or vaccines that have not been tested.”

It is believed that those who refuse will, under this Bill, lose their medical benefits.

Second, there is the issue of the sheer numbers of allegedly preventative immunizations required on this schedule. As anyone who has come down with a case of the flu due to taking a flu shot might realize, the numbers of immunizations on the required schedule could be enough to sicken anyone.

snip

Senate Bill 1203 was authored by US Senator Dean Heller, Republican from Nevada. It passed the US Senate on November 10, 2015 and now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration.

THIS is the goal -— NOT protecting Veterans.

If they want to give me another GG shot, they’ll have to catch me first.

My butt still hurts just thinking about it.

I’ve read a lot ‘Gulf War Syndrome’, or ‘Saudi Sickness’.

In some quarters, there is a belief that the Pentagon had to ‘grow’ our existing vaccine stock for anthrax very quickly...and they used Squalene to do it.

Squalene is a natural fat, and apparently had been used on and off since the 1950’s for this purpose - always with bad results. A certain percentage, much too high as vaccines go, develop serious nerve problems.

The one thing I remember from the book: The US does not use Squalene in the general population, no do European nations. However, in many European nations, it is used to give vaccinations to ‘seniors’...because in a socialist society, ‘seniors’ are fairly expendable.

I can’t wait to see what hellish regime will be enforced on our vets...and I wouldn’t be surprised if Squalene reared its head.

It could be that HHS has a plan for all adult population to receive vaccines and in this legislation it is being referred to?

The reader would need to look up all these other laws on the books to see what is really indicated.

Anyway I doubt the VA is capable of this task because they are to incompetent to complete it.

(2)Recommended adult immunization schedule defined
Section 1701 of such title is amended by adding after paragraph (9) the following new paragraph:

Laz, I received a pneumonia shot at the VA last July. I was sick for three weeks and my daughter got pneumonia and was hospitalized for a week.

The one thing I relish about being retired from the service is that I’m no longer a pin cushion test subject for some of these “vaccines”.

They’ll have to hold me down if they think they’re going to get any more chances to stick me outside of the routine vaccinations (tetanus, MMR, etc.)...GG (witches brew) and flu shot are to be avoided at all costs.

Isn’t this wonderful? Our veterans are required to have vaccinations, and they let hordes of disease-ridden illegals in this country without them. Isn’t it great to be a 2nd class citizen?

So they can cause the vets to fall under the new medical guidelines, subdue them, and confiscate their guns.

Because maybe a lot of them will die? That will improve wait times tremendously.

Having actually read the legislation, this makes the vaccines available, not mandatory. This article is bs of the highest order.

Nope nope nope! I had so damn many shots while active for 26 years I’m not getting any more. I’ve been advised by my doc to get a flu shot, pneumonia shot, shingles shot etc. I refused them all.

How about every Senator that voted for this bill get the shots first? And Barry too.

no longer in the military

Us retirees are subject to recall up to age 65. But I don’t foresee being recalled just to get a shot.

Watch and see how this vaccination hysteria grows. I am not a Luddite, however I do have a healthy fear of government and coercion. John Holdren, Obama's Science Czar, and the world elite are committed to reducing the world population by 90%. Coerced vaccinations are a powerful medium. They can essentially do anything they like...sterilization, microcephaly, impotence, genetic alteration...

My wife's grandparents and also my grandparents (and every generation before them) did not need Big Government and Big Pharma to save them from pestilence and disease. They did, however, need God. And He brought them through.

Yea, I was looking to see if someone had posted about the California Vaccination law. My family is not Anti-vaxxer, but we are anti-coercion. Fear is powerful, and is driving freedom loving people give up precious freedoms that we will not get back. You should read my article...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3462269/posts
