Leave it to those funny guys down at the Whacko, Texas VARO smoking their left-handed tobacco. Here, His Honor Ronald W. Scholz, a seasoned VLJ, has divulged that the emperor has a twin brother and they are both naked as a jaybird. He may have known prior to this, but I have never seen any Judge or the AOJ let on that DC 7345 (HBV, AIH, etc. to exclude HCV) is identical to DC 7354 (HCV only) . Anyone can read it and see, but the comparison has never been so lucidly pointed out with a big ”So tell me how does it make any difference whether you just go ahead and rate him on the HBV? If the symptoms of both are identical and the ratings criteria are as well, who cares where one ends and the other begins? Rate him on the HBV or explain why you can’t and then send it back to us and we’ll do it.”
We get some really off the wall stuff from the religiously challenged city of Waco. You do remember the BATF shooting up that church and then the FBI burning it down a while back? Whacky religion …Waco…Wait. I think I feel something here…
At any rate, this remand finally focuses on something that few consider. The VA watched as HCV claims started to increase when everyone from the Vietnamese “conflict” started to present like a pregnant woman with 4 cm dilation. They finally reached 10 cm. on July 1, 2001 and DC 7354 was born.
The VA started to notice an uptick about 1992 when Vets started coming in with acute symptoms and no risk factors. Worse, testing showed it to be the new version of hep.- Non A, Non B (NANBH). As was their wont, they ignored it for a few years and then started to notice “bidness was pickin’ up “as they say at the VAMC. Consider these figures from the BVA files.
1992)======= 395 dispositions ( includes remands)
1993)======= 315 “ “ “
1994)======= 451
1995)======= 450
1996)======= 649
1997)======= 841
1998)======= 811
1999)======= 824
2000)======= 865
It peaked at 1432 in 2009 and has held stable there. BVA’s search engine is antiquated, so it’s difficult to sort out the different flavors and sub group them. Nothing remarkable would happen to the statistics even if I did.
If I were a business man selling hep. test kits to the VHA, I would have been building a bigger factory about then. VA opted for something far better than trying to figure out what was up. They started a new Diagnostic Code to weed out the drug addicts and group them under a different number. Bingo! A lot less HBV claims! What they didn’t foresee was that someone, sometime, was eventually going to put 2 and 2 together and come up with Pedojet. Think back to 1964 and consider this. The Army was now drafting individuals. Some were drug addicts and when sent through the line with the rest, they were contaminating the guns. Obviously it would be almost impossible, short of a Cray Supercomputer, to crunch the data and find all the infected souls and group them by Basic Training squadrons or platoons etc. Thus was bred the beginnings of ultimate deniability. Do no study for fear of finding out the truth. Nobody has ever been infected with one so we will hear no more about that.
Truth always surfaces like a five day old body in a lake. Look no further than the AO cover up and subsequent debacle. If a Department of the government is tasked with overseeing the health and welfare of a component of our citizenry, common sense dictates they would represent us in a defensive posture rather than defend their actions against us. This little BVA ditty says as much. Write Ron a letter and thank him for pointing out the obvious to Fort Wacko.
