After all the sturm und drang, getting my #covid #shot from the #VA turned out to be not that difficult. But there's a tragic backstory.

The tech told me that when the shot clinic first opened for the season, about a month ago, they were only allowed to give #flu shots, not covid. Then after about a week, they were allowed to give both, but covid only to employees. The week after that, they were allowed to give both to everybody, but patients (unlike employees) had to ask for the covid shot—the clinic wasn't allowed to offer it. Finally they were authorized to offer both to anyone who walks in.

In that window, there were #veterans who wanted the covid shot, didn't know they could get it, and died as a result. I have no proof of this, but also no doubt.

Many #government policies have made me angry over the years, and no doubt will for many years to come. None of them have ever summoned quite the same fury as institutionalized #antivax. It is #treason, not to the country but to all humanity, and the #traitors should pay the traditional price for that crime. Knowing they won't, unless the enemy to which they adhere does the job, is icing on the rage cake.

So I guess I'll keep banging the #vaccination drum. Preaching to the choir, for the most part. But if my words are of any help to anyone, please feel free to use them.
