‘It is absolutely our business' To Know Who Gets Vaccinated, Biden Health Secretary Says
The Washington Examiner ^ | 07/08/21 | Cassidy Morrison

Posted on 07/08/2021 11:15:12 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra argued that the federal government is entitled to know who in the United States has been vaccinated, responding to anger from GOP House members who say the Biden administration is infringing on personal liberty.

“Perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic, so it is absolutely the government’s business. It is taxpayers' business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra said on CNN Thursday.

Becerra rejected arguments from the Right that the Biden administration is trying to override the public’s freedom to choose not to be vaccinated. His remarks come just days after President Joe Biden announced that his administration would shift its focus from getting as many people vaccinated as possible to dealing with persistent vaccine hesitancy in certain parts of the country with exceptionally low vaccination rates, primarily in states in the South and the Midwest. Biden had pledged to “go to community by community … and oftentimes door to door, literally knocking on doors," eliciting anger from Republicans.

I pretty sure it wasn’t the federal government’s trillions that they “had” to spend.

Perhaps I should point out that spending money doesn't take away my rights, and it's damn sure NOT the government's business.

Here’s how to know who is vaxed:

Use secret NSA phone and text or emails, coordinated with FBI surveillance records and use the confidential medical data from doctors and hospitals for each person.

Example: “Mom’s going to the Covid vax place this afternoon.” then vehicle passes five intersection sensors and vehicle is sensed to be in the medical center parking lot. Space 124. Presented her Blue Cross card and computer scanner showed there is no charge for vax and this is recorded by FBI. Video of coming in and leaving center is also available. Text: “Got vax. That’s done.CU.”

Easy.

Tom and Margo
Watching all their love go
To the place
We land eventually

It’s all
Such a ball
Listen for the heart call
Nothing ever seemed so sweet

Waiting for the
American dream
Nothing ever turns out
Just as it seemed

And all the sweet scrolls
They call rock and roll
Past our lips turn incredibly sour
It’s the taste
Everybody calls the witching hour

Big turns
Rug burns
Everybody returns
To the place they loved long ago
Don’t look back

Hard sell
Ring the bell
Everybody catch hell
Maybe you’ll become what they say

Nobody acting out the love game
Trying to get high
But sinking just the same

Thinking that your wise but
Becoming what you despise
That’s always the final tower
And everybody’s slinking
To the witching hour

Gray Road
Such a load
Trying to take hold
Of such responsibility

Last days
She prays
That the soul still stays
In the shadows she can see

Searching for the real salvation
And hoping for a brand new
Re-education

And still we aspire
To all the old desires
That call us to
The witching hour

Toby preaching
He never stops reaching
To catch indifferent
Souls left behind

A mournful tune
That’s pointing to
A thought
That never crossed my mind

Sanctuary never sells
And we all construct
Our own private hell

Critical theory
Eyes turning bleary
As they focus
On the witching hour

Bad is good
And dark is light
That’s what the world
Keeps trying to say

Restart
Fall apart
Even with a new heart
The narrow gate
Still seems far away

Everybody looking for the end
And that’s when the crazy
Seems to begin

The pursuit of power
Is what wilts the flower
As we fade
Into the witching hour

Fake transgressions
Are your repression
That’s how you claim it to be
You keep looking back

Sad song
You’re wronged
Don’t want to get along
It’s how you view history

Hate is all you’ve got to sell
For each time
You go to
Sip from the well

Envy bleeds
When you’re
Stuck in the weeds
You’ve embraced the witching hour

The seed is embedded
And don’t you forget it
It’s been that way from long ago

You frown
It comes around
Never been a soft sound
It’s always been part of the show

Living on
A moral credit card
But when the bill comes due
It’s gets kinda hard

Totally subjective
What a wrong objective
To look into the witching hour

(Cuz it’s looking back into you.)

Actually it is a little bit easier. For example, California maintains a master list of people who have been vaccinated for anything, not just Covid. I’m sure many, if not all, other states maintain the same kind of database.

This is fundamentally why we DO NOT WANT socialized health care. As soon as someone else is paying for your Healthcare, they start to feel like your Healthcare decisions are really up to them. Soon it won’t simply be *just* vaccines and experimental drug treatments. It will expand (as governments are wont to do) to diet, exercise, lifestyle choices such as smoking and drinking. Of course risky sexual behaviors will be supported, but a glass of Bourbon or a nice steak will cost you dearly.

We’ve received a couple of checks but, I have no clue how the FedGov has “kept us alive” during all this.

That is another grand argument.

Pathetic, given that all they needed to do was provide everyone an early treatment pack consisting of Revlimid, Vit D and Zinc, with maybe Zithromax. Pathetic, given that they haven’t clearly defined the major risk factors, which are highest in the obese, Vit D deficient, and aged populations.
