The Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act (HR 550) passed in the U.S. House of Representatives with 214 Democrat votes and 80 Republican votes for the bill, in a move that imperils privacy and medical freedom of Americans say critics.
The act was supported by the American Immunization Registry Association, a lobbying group created to support a national vaccine registry, which issued talking points to help the passage of the measure.

According to the AIRA talking points the new database will help give pharmacies the ability to share immunization information with the government so that the government can then target individuals for vaccinations, a capability that thus far the government lacks.
In addition, the database will help coordinate supplies and doses for the next outbreak of a major virus or health emergency—showing that the previously once-every-hundred year outbreak of global pandemic, is planned, at least by vaccine professionals, to be a more common occurrence.
Far from being a benefit, these design features are looked on as a flaw by critics of the legislation.
“These systems are designed to allow for the sharing of crucial information and maintenance of records,” Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., told Breitbart after her “no” vote. “Do we really trust the government to protect our medical records?”
The measure may force vaccinations by tracking citizens and using the power of the government “to [make them] comply with Biden’s crazy ‘global vaccination’ vision,” Miller predicted.
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.,, also a “no” vote, concurred with Miller that the bill put America on a slippery, Orwellian slope toward greater domestic surveillance.
“A database solely created to record and collect confidential vaccination information of Americans explicitly encroaches upon individuals’ fundamental right to medical privacy,” Donalds told Breitbart.
Critics already have sounded the alarm over the government’s poor record of transparency during the pandemic.
Recently, when the Food and Drug Administration was asked through a Freedom of Information Request to share its data regarding the approval of the COVID vaccines, the agency said that it would take 55 years to respond to the request fully according to Reuters.
Jenna Greene, who writes for Reuters about legal matters, called the FDA response “beyond typical bureaucratic foot-dragging.”
If that’s the response regarding the approval process for the most important vaccine in the history of the FDA, critics of the vaccination registry have a good point.
