INFECTED VETERAN COUNT CONTINUES RISE, NOW AT 57

VA still accepts no blame for viral infections caused by possibly contaminated equipment.

by Larry Scott, VA Watchdog dot Org

 

The number of veterans testing positive for viral infections after exposure to possibly contaminated equipment at three VA facilities continues to slowly rise.

The current number of positive tests now stands at 57.

The VA is still lawyered-up and admits no responsibility for the infections.  However, they have offered free medical treatment with no co-pays or deductibles (if the vet fell into the "have to pay" category).

You can get the latest figures for the three facilities at the links below:

The latest VA charts on infected veterans are posted below ... and you can get complete information and a timeline on VA's contaminated equipment on this page.
