Three NCGOPers in US House vote FOR federal vaccine database

 

At least three of our Republicans in Washington have decided it’s OK for Big Brother to be Watching.  Three leadership brown-nosers (Patrick McHenry, Richard Hudson, and Greg Murphy) voted with the Democrats to chip away at our privacy.

(Murphy abandoned The House Freedom Caucus within days of being sworn in, even though Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan raised money for him, and came to North Carolina to campaign for him. House Republican leaders openly campaigned against Murphy in the  series of primaries for North Carolina’s 3rd district.)

Here’s a great take on what these three voted for:

Eighty House Republicans voted with the Democrats to Tuesday to pass the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act, which if passed by the Senate and made into law, would fund a federal vaccination database.

The bill, also known as H.R. 550, will grant the federal government the authority to appropriate $400 million in taxpayer dollars to fund “immunization system data modernization and expansion.”

The immunization system is 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,” the bill’s text states.

It also states that the bill will expand the capabilities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Public Health Department in sharing health data with the federal government.

Rep. Ann Kuster (D-N.H), the main sponsor of the bill, says that H.R. 550 will enable public and private health care providers to do the same as well.

The system can also 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,” she said in a statement on Nov. 30.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.), one of the 130 Republicans who voted against the bill, told Breitbart Wednesday that the legislation would enable the federal government to track and target unvaccinated Americans who will be “forced to comply” with a “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.

Rep. Byron Donalds, (R-Fla.), who also voted “no,” cited fiscal concerns, while at the same time, saying that the legislation only serves to expand the power of the federal government.

“This legislation would unnecessarily appropriate millions of taxpayer funds intended to expand bureaucracy in Washington. A database solely created to record and collect confidential vaccination information of Americans explicitly encroaches upon individuals’ fundamental right to medical privacy,” Donalds said.

When is the last time you saw a federal government program stay small and expire at the end of a specific timeline?  Oh,  this thing will grow leaps and bounds and put your great-great-great-great grandchildren deeper into debt.

Weasels.  Eighty of them.  Three of them are OURS.
