Probably something to do with the vaccine not being mandatory - smart move by the military PTB... They have a nice legal back door to bolt through. They must be aware of the possible (and given the numbers of people having the vaccine - inevitable) dangers of the jabs.

Do you have a link to the source?

Anyways, it is not uncommon for the VA to deny vets even if they have proof it is military related.

Just part of the system. Usually, if a vet continues their fight, they are successful in getting compensation.

Same thing happened when they gave the anthrax vaccinations a decade ago.

I'm not suprised at all but this was the smallpox vaccine. I'm sure many cases like this will happen with the swine flu vaccine also.

Now And Then is right. They will never make the vaccine mandatory for the very reason they are using against him now. They need the loophole of voluntarism, and they won't give it up, IMO.

My wife recently called one of our local FEMA reps, with a question about the swine flu vaccine being mandatory. He said that he would highly recommend getting this vaccine, but that it wouldn't be mandatory, "To each his own, but I must leave you with a strong word of warning." he said. What that "must" means is anyone's guess, but the point is that I think the swine flu vaccine - and every other vaccine - will always be voluntary for the same reason he's being denied now.

They will always need the 'voluntary' loophole so they won't ever have to pay compensation for something they know will harm many.

Unfortunately, he will never be paid by the Veterans Administration for this problem, but I wonder if he or his guardians/caregivers know there are alternatives meant to take up the slack...or at least available to do the job.

Indeed, it is Social Security's policy to deny every claim as well. However, I believe in this case, he's got more chance with disability than with VA, because as others have cited, how many others would they wind up paying if this boy is compensated either monetarily or medically by the VA?

They will leave this one to others, and keep their loophole. Either that, or they'll make it mandatory for every single person on earth, and never pay for hardship or detriment in any case as they've already proven they'll not have the vaccine makers being made responsible either...they've got immunity.

Or maybe they're just trying to hype up this story as much as possible to get Obama's NHS passed as quickly as they can manifest plausibly.
