Former Trump Cabinet member Dr. Ben Carson registered concern and disappointment about 80 House Republicans voting with all House Democrats to expand federal vaccine surveillance by connecting and expanding state databases.
“It will secondarily be used for other things as well. We have got to be smart enough to recognize these signs when we see them and stop them, to nip them in the bud before it becomes too late,” the former Republican presidential candidate said to Fox host Maria Bartiromo. “It doesn’t take long to change a nation.”
Carson’s remarks came in response to Bartiromo’s question about H.R. 550, which The Federalist reported on here. The bill received no hearing in the House and is now under consideration in the Senate. It would enable the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to connect state vaccine databases and use them to track Americans’ private health decisions in “real time.”
Republicans who voted for the bill told constituents this is a routine program for which they slimmed funding from a $500 million expansion to a $400 million expansion, which did little to allay concerns about politicized and unelected bureaucrats manipulating private information for political purposes. Western nations including U.S. neighbor Canada are using people’s medical decisions to deny them health care and access to grocery stores, spawning black markets in Europe.

Crenshaw keeps turning up on the wrong side of the balance sheet... 🤨 I once contributed to his campaigns but in 2020 found he would not champion favorable Repub candidates of my liking.
They think we are idiots.
They all need to go get to work America
Obedience list - bump for later....
Resist.
Exactly. The GOP should have cut this to zero. But I’m sure there’s linkage to the NSA and FBI profile databases and the Big Government Republicans love that crap even though they’re the first people it gets used against.
A dark Nazi march towards fascist totalitarianism is currently casting a corrosive shadow across the shattered shards of what was once Western Civilization.
This is what many elected Republicans do: they vote for totalitarian Big Government control freak garbage and then brag that they reduced the cost of the totalitarian Big Government control freak garbage.
