I'm more surprised that eighty Republicans voted for this Orwellian garbage.
Why is this Washington's business? Whatever happened to medical privacy?
From the article: "According to the bill, also called H. R. 550, the government would provide $400 million in taxpayer dollars to fund “immunization system data modernization and expansion,” a system otherwise defined as “a confidential, population-based, computerized database that records immunization doses administered by any health care provider to persons within the geographic area covered by that database.”
"In a statement, the bill’s main sponsor, Democrat Rep. Ann Kuster (NH), said the system would be used to “remind patients when they are due for a recommended vaccine” and identify areas with low vaccination rates to “ensure equitable distribution of vaccines.”
"Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), who was one of the 130 Republicans to vote “no,” told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday that the legislation would enable the federal government to “track” unvaccinated Americans who “will be targeted and forced to comply with Biden’s crazy ‘global vaccination’ vision.”
“These systems are designed to allow for the sharing of crucial information and maintenance of records. Do we really trust the government to protect our medical records?” Miller said. “The bill’s author even bragged in her press release that these systems will help the government remind patients when they are due for a recommended vaccine and identify areas with low vaccination rates to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines. This was clearly a legislative tool to enforce vaccine mandates and force their Orwellian rules onto those who do not comply.”
I agree with Representative Miller. That's NONE of their business!
Elections have consequences and this is a bad consequence. So now the government is responsible for monitoring the health and immunizations of private citizens? This is a link to HR 550. I read the entire draft. Unless I missed something there's no mention of patient privacy, the Privacy Act of 1974 or how this information may be otherwise used besides targeting areas with a need for the COVID 19 vaccine and to remind patients when their vaccinations are due. Anyone that signed this gross invasion of personal privacy is a disgrace.
What a joke. So, how do they "identify" the 13+ million illegals of which most will never get the vax because they (rightly so) don't trust our Govt.
