the United States Government, or any organization or employer, current or former, with which he is or has been affiliated.<\/p>\n<p>The federal whistleblower <a href=\"https:\/\/fedsforfreedom.substack.com\/p\/budget-shortfall-pact-act-and-tera?utm_medium=ios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed<\/a> that while the VA attempted to blame the PACT Act as the primary cause of a budget shortfall, \u201ctheir public statements happened to coincide with a significant spike in <a href=\"https:\/\/kirschsubstack.com\/p\/exclusive-va-whistleblower-exposes?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_campaign=post_embed&amp;utm_medium=web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vaccine-related

href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/01\/veterans-affairs-under-fire-unethical-vaccine-coercion-meets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another ignored contributor<\/a> to the financial strain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe extraordinary rise in already service-connected increase claims following the COVID-19 shots cannot be attributed to the PACT Act,\u201d Fleeman argued, explaining that \u201cit only applies to new claims for service connection.\u201d He is particularly concerned about the Toxic Exposure Risk Activity (TERA) provision of the PACT Act.<\/p>\n<p>A standard operating procedure note within the PACT Act excludes vaccines and medications from being considered under TERA, applying a stricter standard than all other toxic exposures.<\/p>\n<p><img

Article<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe VA already concedes toxic exposures under TERA when they are consistent with the circumstances of a veteran\u2019s service, including occupational and environmental risks,\u201d Fleeman explained. \u201cYet, this note arbitrarily blocks vaccine-related exposures from being evaluated the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout it,\u201d he argued, \u201cthe COVID-19 mRNA injections would have to be considered a military occupational exposure under TERA, just like any other toxic risk veterans faced in service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The VA cannot claim to assess toxic exposures fairly while creating a special exemption for vaccines through \u201can SOP loophole,\u201d he argued. \u201cAll the VA Secretary has to do is remove this fraudulent SOP note, and every veteran who was injected by the military would be covered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And as it stands, Fleeman also suggested: \u201c[this provision] effectively obscures the fallout from the shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that \u201cthe VA acknowledges toxic exposure under TERA for military occupational hazards, asbestos, and other service-related exposures\u2014even when long-term health effects are uncertain\u2014but then arbitrarily excludes vaccines and medications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf TERA is supposed to cover all potential toxic exposures from military service, then there\u2019s no valid reason to preemptively exempt vaccines,\u201d he offered. \u201cRather, the COVID-19 shots would have to be evaluated under TERA like any other exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But according to him, \u201cThis policy isn\u2019t based on evidence; it\u2019s a deliberate carve-out to prevent claims.\u201d The VA cannot claim to follow a scientific standard while \u201capplying different rules to different exposures based on policy convenience,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe VA now concedes exposure to all forms of toxic hazards as long as the facts and circumstances align with the veteran\u2019s service, except for a few glaring exclusions: vaccines and medications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fleeman hopes that President Donald Trump\u2019s newly confirmed pick for VA secretary not only embraces transparency but also fair compensation for all toxic exposures, including those caused by vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Doug Collins, an Air Force reserve chaplain and former GOP congressman, was easily confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-above-comments\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postbelow-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a
