On Thursday, The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article about a recent statement by H<\/span>ealth and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

H<\/span>ealth and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra argued that the federal government is entitled to know who in the United States has been vaccinated, responding to anger from GOP House members who say the Biden administration is infringing on personal liberty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic, so it is absolutely the government\u2019s business. It is taxpayers’ business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,\u201d Becerra said<\/a><\/u> on CNN<\/a> <\/i>Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is a clause in the HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) law that allows the government to collect this information.<\/p>\n

According to the CDC<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Privacy Rule allows for the existing practice of sharing PHI with public health authorities that are authorized by law to collect or receive such information to aid them in their mission of protecting the health of the public.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So essentially all the government has to do is say that it is necessary for them to have your personal information regarding the Covid-19 vaccine in order to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs tweeted<\/a><\/u> Wednesday, \u201cIn 2021, the nine most terrifying words in the English language: \u2018I’m from the government, have you been vaccinated yet?\u2019\u201d Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, meanwhile, tweeted<\/a><\/u> Tuesday, “Door to door to vaccinate Americans this year\u2026 door to door to confiscate guns next year?” <\/strong><\/p>\n

To date, more than 67%<\/a><\/u> of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Roughly 58% of adults have been fully vaccinated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And how many Americans have natural immunity because they have had the disease? When I had my antibodies checked seven months after having Covid-19, I still had antibodies. Why would I want to get the shot to do the same thing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
