Lmao dude I just had surgery because I broke my wrist 10 years ago and trusted the VA’s Doctors telling me that my X-Ray revealed no break and I was fine. After years of significant pain, I finally went in for another X-Ray at a civilian doctor and was told that my wrist has been broken for a very long time and it’s amazing that the VA missed it years ago.

You go ahead and get that vaccine, buddy. Good luck!

Got both moderna. Second shot was rough but was over with after a day and a half. Pfizer seems to have had slightly lower side effects from what I’ve heard.

The VA didn’t make the shot. They would simply be sticking the shot in a Vet’s arm. There aren’t a lot of subjective calls for doctors to make when it comes to administering a vaccine.

VA got dramatically better under Trump. Actually VA in BR is cycling about 350 people in on the mornings they do it - in and out in under an hour.

I had heard the VA was doing the vaccine, went and filled out the form to verify eligibility and was denied because my income is too high - not OT baller, family income less then $200k

I politely declined. I’m sure the eleventy billion anthrax shots I received against my will will stave off the virus.
