If the Senate follows your house of Representatives’s lead and passes the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act (HR 550), Americans who do not get the recommended number of covid vaccines can eagerly anticipate receiving a text like this: “This is Dr. Anthony Fauci. According to federal government records you have not yet received your monthly covid booster shot. Until you prove you are following vaccine procedures, your vaccine passport will be withdrawed, resulting in loss of your opportunity to work, praise, and visit your family.”
According to the bill’s chief sponsor, New Hampshire Representative Ann Kuster, HR 550 will “boost and quicken our across the country vaccine rollout” by “improv [ing] and expand [ing] information-sharing in between state and federal governments, along with public and personal health care companies.” According to a statement issued by Rep. Kuster, HR 550 will enable the federal government to “… remind patients when they are due for an advised vaccine.” It goes without stating that this power will likely likewise enable the government to punish those who decline to adhere to vaccine mandates.
HR 550 achieves its goal by empowering federal bureaucrats to create nationwide standards for databases consisting of vaccine records. State and city governments and private health care businesses will be paid off (with cash taken from present and future taxpayers) to embrace the national requirements.
Federal government “tips” of when we are due for our shots will likely be broadened to other medical treatments. If the government can remind us of when we need covid vaccines, why would not it then start advising us to get routine physicals and teeth cleanings, refill our prescriptions, and follow our medical professionals’ suggestions regarding diet and exercise?
The government could also use these records to deny care to people not following federal health care “recommendations.” Those lured to dismiss these concerns must think about that there are calls to reject medical treatment to the “unvaccinated.” There have also been efforts to deny medical treatment to individuals who smoke or are obese. Rationing is common in countries dealing with the concerns of mingled medication. There is even an effort in the UK to deny health care to those who use racist or sexist language.
According to the most current Medicare Trustees Report, the Medicare Health Center Insurance Trust Fund will have the ability to pay just 91 percent of its bills by 2026. When these shortfalls occur, Congress will likely raise taxes, cut advantages, or do both.
Congress will try to depend on the Federal Reserve’s money making of financial obligation to raise taxes by stealth. However that can only go so far. Eventually, the cost of Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, and other programs will result in denial of medical care to those Dr. Fauci and his federally-funded associates deem unworthy.
The push for a centralized system to keep track of every American’s vaccine status is being utilized to justify rescinding the ban on using taxpayer dollars to develop a “unique client identifier.” Providing every American a distinct patient identifier would be the last step towards producing a system of government security, and control, over our personal healthcare options.
If the federal government can keep an eye on and control something as essential as our health care options, then no part of our lives is off limits to the baby-sitter state. All who value liberty must sign up with the fight for health flexibility.
