According to the bill, also called H. R. 550, the government would provide $400 million in taxpayer dollars to fund "Immunization system data modernization and expansion," a system otherwise defined as "a confidential, population-based, computerized database that records immunization doses administered by any health care provider to persons within the geographic area covered by that database." The text specifically outlines an expansion of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Public Health Department capabilities and the ability for state and local health departments, as well as public and private health care providers, to share health data with the federal government.
Rep. Mary Miller, who was one of the 130 Republicans to vote "No," told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday that the legislation would enable the federal government to "Track" unvaccinated Americans who "Will be targeted and forced to comply with Biden's crazy 'global vaccination' vision." "These systems are designed to allow for the sharing of crucial information and maintenance of records. Do we really trust the government to protect our medical records?" Miller said.
The congressman said the legislation only serves to expand the power of the federal government and trample individual rights.
"As a fiscal conservative, I cannot in good faith support legislation that contributes to the Democrats' habitual pattern of reckless and wasteful spending and the intrusive heavy hand of government." Miller noted that the legislation paves the way for the government to give blue states millions in taxpayers funds to enforce vaccine mandates.
According to the bill's text, the government could award grants and cooperative agreements to health departments or other local governmental entities for agreeing to adopt the new data collection guidelines set by the CDC. Any agencies hoping to receive a grant must agree to comply with security standards to protect personal health information.
The government may also develop "Public-private partnerships" to help with "Technical assistance, training, and related implementation support." When Breitbart News asked Miller if public-private partnerships could potentially obscure data collection activities from the public, she said the government cannot be trusted to be transparent.
"As I've said many times before, the government is not your doctor. The federal government has no business inserting itself into private healthcare matters of Americans. There is no reason for them to collect this data, it is an affront to our liberties and health freedoms," she said.
