Appendix 2 of title 5, The Federal Advisory Committee Act, provides the safeguards so that federal government committees and task forces are kept to a minimum, requires that congress and the public be informed of what these committees are doing and their cost and states that the committees should be terminated when no longer needed.

The new “Community Preventive Services Task Force” created in the bill along with the ‘‘Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health’’ and the “Preventive Services Task Force” will develop and make the national prevention, health promotion and public health strategy.
They will also come up with a list of national priorities on health promotion and disease prevention to address lifestyle behavior modification (smoking cessation, proper nutrition, appropriate exercise, mental health, behavioral health, substance use disorder, and domestic violence screenings). These groups will also coordinate with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
States can receive grants to implement interventions that are recommended by the “Community Preventive Services Task Force”. Interventions that can be used are ; ‘‘ providing for home visits that promote immunization through education, assessments of need, referrals, provision of immunizations, or other services; ‘‘providing immunization reminders or recalls for target populations of clients, patients, and consumers”; ‘ providing reminders or recalls for immunization providers; and ‘‘ immunization information systems to allow all States to have electronic databases for immunization records”.

The Senate is set to vote on this bill Dec. 21st at 1:00 am. This one little section is just one example of the many “little sections” that are going to cause huge problems. Forcing through a huge bill that has so many problems in the dead of night right before Christmas is wrong.
Please consider joining in the virtual vigil to stop this disastrous bill from moving forward. (4)

The Dark Night of Medical Facism is upon us.
Yes, I can see how this could be twisted into a ruthless, no-knock enforcement of vaccinations and god-knows-what-else.
Um...why do I have this strange feeling that “Aufderheide” in German means something hilarious?
Anytime that is at the end of a legislative phrase, you know you're screwed.
This is wrong, as is any regulation forcing vaccination on those families who don’t want it.
By the same token, it is wrong for those families to inflict their little Petri dishes on those of us who don’t believe in ridiculous quackery promoted by celebrity dingbats.
Unvaccinated children are vectors for disease and should all be home schooled and not be allowed in any place other children might gather.

There was nothing special about Germany. Every country has its Nazi-like despots, and ours have taken over the Democratic Party. Welcome to 1984 and beyond. Really, it is 1984 on steroids, enhanced by technology Orwell never dreamed of.
can you spell “civil disobedience”
the marxists that wrote this drivel have no idea what they are up against. Not sheeple.
