The US House of Representatives is at it again,  Representative Kim Schrier, MD,  (D-WA-8) authored the Vaccines Act of 2019, H.R. 2862, which is described as a bill, “to provide for a national system for surveillance of vaccine rates, to authorize research on vaccine hesitancy, to increase public understanding of the benefits of immunizations, and for other purposes.” It also includes a propaganda campaign to promote vaccines. An initial $75 million would be allocated from 2020 to 2024.

    Please click on the Take Action Link above and to the right on most systems to send a message to your member of the US House of Representatives opposing H.R. Vaccines Act of 2019. But before you do that if you value the information and advocacy bought to you by the Autism Action Network please help us continue to do so by donating here: https://grouprev.com/autismactionnetwork2019  to our one fundraiser of the year that we do in conjunction with the Autism Community Walk on October 20 at Belmont Lake State Park in Babylon, NY.

     The bill for the first time would, “develop and deploy a national system for surveillance of vaccination rates” for the purposes of understanding, “vaccination confidence over time; “variations across time and geography;” and ominously, “to measure vaccine refusal.”

     It would allow the feds to create a federal database of the vaccine records of the American population by consolidating existing state and private databases to measure if, “(i) vaccines are or will be underutilized; (ii) vaccine confidence is low or decreasing, (iii) misinformation about the safety of vaccines, not supported by scientific or medical evidence, has been directed in a targeted manner.” No language in the bill allows individuals to exclude information about themselves or their children from the database.

     In short, this is a huge subsidized marketing plan for the vaccine industry. And it  Includes a propaganda campaign for the vaccine industry paid for by the taxpayers.  There is no companion bill yet in the US Senate, and only 23 co-sponsors have signed on so far.

     All states keep track of the vaccination status or school children. Some states track adults as well. The US has extremely high vaccination rates even with our recommended schedule that has far more doses than any other country in the world. The four largest drug companies in the world, Pfizer, Merck, Glaxo and Sanofi control almost 90% of the $59 billion global vaccine market. They do not need $75 million from the American taxpayers to identify markets and promote their liability-free products.

     And what gives the federal government the right to gather all the vaccine records of everybody in the US without our permission? Yet again we have the government and private industry working together, with no accountability, to benefit for-profit industries with our money while taking away fundamental medical privacy rights for ourselves and our children.
