Workers compensation for Vax adverse effects!
Sounds like a victory , NOT if your dead.
I am in the process of requesting a Religious Accommodation for the military, and I was instructed that "If I decide to get vaxxed, that I need to make sure that I am on an active duty status" (I am Traditional Guard) In the event I have a reaction, I would be covered under the VA. I told the Captian, Sir, I will see the gate before I see the shot. He understood.
Too true!
Are families/spouses restricted from collecting? If it is retroactive, that should be sufficient to take them down.
In my limited experience, the federal government usually honors family requests like that. However, it does state from September 9th or later.
Lol. Most people I know employed by government who took jab are fucked then. Took the jab in april or june.
“When a claim is received for injury due to receipt of the COVID-19 vaccination, the claims examiner should determine if the vaccine was received prior to September 9, 2021. If the vaccination was received prior to this date, coverage is afforded only if the vaccine was administered or sponsored by the employing agency. See PM 2-0804.19.”
It depends on where they got it.

Yep, same! Most of the ones I know that got the shots back then are having unusual health issues now, too. Some subtle. Some life threatening. If not vaxx related, just too many coincidences to make any sense.
They'll just deny that any vaccine injuries actually have anything to do with the vaccine, and the employees will still get nothing.
It sounds like a cynical ploy to make people more comfortable taking the vaccine.
Sounds to me like an admission that injuries do occur.
Yep. Goal posts changing daily.
"Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, also known as Comirnaty" Wow.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t The approval only for BioNTech’s Comirnaty NOT Pfizer-BioNTech?
Added: I’m trying to emphasize there is no Pfizer Comirnaty or Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty. The only approval I saw was for BioNTech Comirnaty where the EUA authorized one is specifically Pfizer-BioNTech.
You are correct, if Pfizer‘s jab was approved, the others would cease to exist under the definition of the EUA.
You are correct. Comirnaty is approved, but not available in the US.
Not until like 2023 I believe
Comirnaty is the Pfizer jab rebranded. It's the same toxin with a different lablel.
something something "different codons" something else
That’s the point I was trying to make. The FDA approved BioNTech. Comirnaty is not Pfizer.
Pfizer’s name is not on the approval. They are two separate companies working in a partnership.
Pfizer statement NO VAXXINE APPROVED including Comirnaty.
I understand that it's only available in Israel, as they made a deal with the government to use on the Israeli guinea pigs, err, citizens.
Pfizer statement NO VAXXINE APPROVED including Comirnaty.
One of these is “approved”. One of these is “unavailable”. One of these is still under an EUA.
There's no federal mandate.
This a CYA bulletin. However, this can be exploited against private sector employers. Employers are not insured to be medical practitioners. Their coercion using the threat of firings make them liable for medical compensation and damages. Where are the lawyers on this?
Smoke and mirrors.
According to Pfizer themselves, there is currently NO APPROVED vaxxxine.
Yep, I’ve made the call myself.
I believe you. If you have a recording of it, this will reinforce the Gab recording. Already, the 'fact-checkers' are doing the damnest to discredit the recording.
I think everyone should flood the Internet with this info.
So the taxpayer gets to fund the survival of fed employees dumb enough to trust big pharma. Color me unimpressed
If people who work for a company that has vaxx mandates were to point out to their companies that the federal government is paying their employees if they're damaged from the vaccine, and then requests their company to do the same, would it make a difference?
Only if you yourself are happy to have permanently debilitating illnesses or a high risk of death.
The gov just established the precedent that employers are liable for injury caused by something they mandate. If I was an employer I’d think long and hard about that before ever making anything mandatory.
Since contractors and their employees must adhear to federal worker guidelines, I wonder if this would extend to these employers as well?
Make your job fire you so you get in on that future class-action lawsuit
Yes. This is so important for people to know. Don't quit. Make them fire you so you have legal options.
Find a job while getting fired or on unpaid leave.
As one, I really hope so. Although I'm personally never getting the shot, so...
Nope. Looks like employees only.
Yes, it likely will, in my humble legal opinion
FECA BULLETIN NO. 22-01 October 1, 2021
Subject: Coverage for Injuries Resulting from the COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate for Federal Employees.
Background: On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccination for most Federal employees. The order directed each agency to implement a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its employees, with exceptions only as required by law.
The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) covers injuries that occur in the performance of duty. The FECA does not generally authorize provision of preventive measures such as vaccines and inoculations, and in general, preventive treatment is a responsibility of the employing agency under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7901. However, care can be authorized by OWCP for complications of preventive measures which are provided or sponsored by the agency, such as adverse reaction to prophylactic immunization. See PM 3-0400.7(a).
Further, deleterious effects of medical services furnished by the employing establishment are generally considered to fall within the performance of duty. These services include preventive programs relating to health. See PM 2-0804.19.
However, this executive order now makes COVID-19 vaccination a requirement of most Federal employment. As such, employees impacted by this mandate who receive required COVID-19 vaccinations on or after the date of the executive order may be afforded coverage under the FECA for any adverse reactions to the vaccine itself, and for any injuries sustained while obtaining the vaccination.
Purpose: To provide guidance on coverage for claims for injury on or after September 9, 2021, resulting from receipt of the mandated COVID-19 vaccination for Federal employees.
Applicability: All FECA Program Staff and Other Stakeholders.
Reference: Federal (FECA) Procedure Manual, Part 2 Claims, Chapter 2-0804 Performance of Duty, and Part 3 Medical, Chapter 3-0400 Medical Services and Supplies; 20 CFR § 10.313; Executive Order on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees.
Actions::
Because COVID-19 vaccination is a specific event occurring during a single day or work shift, any adverse reactions or injuries should be reported on Form CA-1, Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of Pay / Compensation. Where two vaccinations are required several weeks apart, reactions to each are considered separate claims.
When a claim is received for injury due to receipt of the COVID-19 vaccination, the claims examiner should determine if the vaccine was received prior to September 9, 2021. If the vaccination was received prior to this date, coverage is afforded only if the vaccine was administered or sponsored by the employing agency. See PM 2-0804.19.
The claims examiner should then confirm that the employee is covered by the September 9, 2021 executive order. The order applies to any executive agency as defined in 5 U.S.C. 105 – agencies that fall under the executive branch of the government (excluding the Government Accountability Office). The order does not apply to employees of the United States Postal Service. If there is any question regarding applicability of the executive order, the claims examiner should query the employing agency. If the employee is not covered by the executive order, coverage is afforded only if the vaccine was administered or sponsored by the employing agency. See PM 2-0804.19.
If the employee is covered by the executive order and vaccination was received on or after September 9, 2021, coverage may be afforded for (1) adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccination and (2) injuries sustained as the direct result of an employee receiving their mandated vaccination. Examples of such injuries include but are not limited to accidents while commuting a reasonable distance to and from the vaccination site and slip and fall injuries occurring at the vaccination site.
The claims examiner should, however, ensure that the employee followed any employing agency policy with respect to obtaining their mandatory vaccination. The executive order directs each agency to implement, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its Federal employees.
a. If an employing agency requires employees to receive their mandatory vaccination at specific times and/or at a specific location(s), coverage is only afforded if the employee follows the agency’s vaccination policy.
b. If any employing agency allows employees to obtain their mandatory vaccination at any time or location, coverage is afforded regardless of where or when the employee receives their vaccination, with the only limitation being for that of reasonableness.
Disposition: This bulletin should be retained until incorporated into Chapter 2-0804, Performance of Duty, of the FECA Procedure Manual.
I’m wondering if the legally distinct designation of cominirty and bioNTech is enough of a gap to exploit. As the mandated one is not available to take vs the EUA one they are scanning people to take. How can one lawfully comply if they only want the genuinely approved one? When it is not available.
In other words..."sorry, this coverage doesn't apply to you because you're a stupid sheep and fell for the scam, took Pfizer vax which isn't FDA approved".
Very interesting is that the Vaccine Mandate Executive Order does not exist in writing.
Executive Order 14043

Thanks a lot for that! I will definitely read this after work today.
I wish I had more updoots to give you. Thank you for this!!!
And who pays for that?
This is bullshit. It’s a bandaid for a hemorrhage
Quite Right. Albeit it can used to be exploited in the private sector. Employers are not insured to be medical practitioners. Their coercion using the threat of firings make them liable for medical compensation and damages.
How do you prove that the "adverse reaction" is caused by the vaccine? It's going back to the days of agent orange that the government denied responsibility for.
This sounds like it only applies for the first day.
Not exactly a win, unless you immediately drop dead like Tiffany Dover, in which case, fuck us anyway, I guess.
Sounds like a legal protection for the administration, rather than a legal remedy for the employee.
"Look, if something happens you're covered!"
"Oh, looks like your reaction happened three days after the vaxx, must be totally unrelated. Good luck, sucker!"
Absolutely useless from an incentive point of view because nobody making these decisions in the public sector is paying for it or are personally liable. The point of liability to damages is not just to compensate people for being harmed, but to dissuade people from doing stupid shit in the first place.
It might have more impact if it was for the private sector and made the business liable. Your shareholders wouldn't be happy about being on the hook for an experimental vaccine. Although even this will only go so far as an incorporated business protects shareholders from personal liability.
So, where us the protection of all non federal employees who are being forced by their employers to get the vax based on the same mandate?
I know, right? If non-federal workers were to point out to their companies that the federal government is paying their employees if they're damaged from the vaccine, and then requests their company to do the same, would it make a difference?
It wont because they are not federal.workers. Talking with the office of some State AGs I keep getting tbe same reply."Call an attourney"
Is this a victory or is it one in which tens of thousands are waiting in line for the Office of Workers Compensation Programs (OWCP) to make a determination? As their 'determinations' take years to complete, these people will deteriorate physically and mentally. Most will die before the government's work is done.
Just like how Agent Orange and the Gulf War Syndrome had never ending causal investigations, I see this is yet another 'CYA' publication.
The good news is this bulletin can be used against private employers for their COVID-19 mandates. Employers are not insured to be medical practitioners. Their coercion using the threat of firings make them liable for medical compensation and damages.
Are you acknowledging this lawyers?
But none for the field slaves.
Reminder that they aren't recognizing most adverse events as actually coming from the vaccine. How do you price the vaccine caused your heart attack 5 weeks later?
My first sticky! Thank you mods!
The only reason they would be doing this is that Comirnaty must be akin to a Saline solution and they already know there can't be any side effects.
This could be a big payoff scheme. Back door bribes. How many Federal Judges will get sick and get multi million dollar payments for all their pain and suffering from the vaxx ? Ouch I have a suspicious mind
Really, really working hard to coerce as many as possible into the shot to weaken our defense. THE VACCINES HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE UNSAFE AND INEFFECTIVE. Multiple countries around the world have had much better outcomes without the jabbing.
Why are postal workers always singled out?
The vaxx mandate executive order didn't apply to them. They aren't mandated to get the vaxx.
Edit to add: their union actually fought for their rights.
My brother is a mail carrier, he said the union just delayed the mandate to be included in the next contract negotiation.
That figures...
I wish I could ask the White Hats directly: When is going too far in your Plan, too far?
I know, right?
“....... for most Federal employees...” !
🤪🤪🤪🤪
WWG1WGA
Only Federal workers??? So that means that the rest of "John Q Citizen" is just out of luck? Figures.
FECA more like FECAL
You'll die before OWCP pays out. OWCP is the most broken organization in the world.
That could be said about the government in general.
