This month, federal health officials are rolling
out a national adult immunization plan that contains a new Mandatory Adult
Vaccination1 ,
2 and Electronic Tracking Program. The government
is urging Americans to fulfill their obligation to support and comply with the
anti-choice requirement to relinquish responsibility for personal health and
well-being to federally appointed health officials through pharmaceutical
enhancements.

Public health officials will be monitoring Twitter and
Facebook posts for anti-vaccine chatter that may indicate non-compliance with
federal vaccine recommendations and state vaccine mandates.

"We are delighted that every state has pledged to move forward on
bills to eliminate vaccine exemptions and support mandatory vaccine compliance,
and we remind Americans that failure to vaccinate is a serious biothreat that
simply will no longer be tolerated.”
French time-management
specialist Aucun Choixwho was not consulted during the negotiations with drug
companies that preceded the mandatecommented that “removing choice is
one of the most basic steps you can take to simplify your life,” noting that
Americans suffer an inordinate amount of stress as a result of having too many
choices.

"Making vaccination decisions is an arduous task involving
lots of reading and information processing,” he said, “and this is time
Americans can now spend on less stressful activities such as eating and watching
television with their families or texting friends.

opportunity to relinquish the responsibility of making medical choices to those
who have graduated from medical school and have no doubts about vaccine safety.

It is a complete waste of time for non-medical professionals to research
the subject of vaccines because federal health agencies receive a lot of money
from the pharmaceutical industry to fast track vaccines to licensure and
maintain very high quality control standards.”
US Aims to Become
First Nation to Eradicate ALL Threats to Public Health According to
Anti-Choicers United, the nationwide mandatory vaccination and electronic
tracking plan for adults will involve all employers, private businesses,
non-profit organizations, churches, and federal and state agencies “to ensure
all carbon-based units traversing American soil will be in compliance with the
adult vaccination schedule approved by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).”

Visitors entering the United States from overseas
will be required to present proof of vaccination against the following diseases,
as per the 2015 adult immunization schedule,3 prior to being granted unfiltered air
breathing rights.
Influenza
Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis

In response, Anti-Choicers United issued
a statement directing vaccine safety-denialists to one of the world’s leading
Anti-Choicer, Dr. Paul Offit, who has gone on record stating that an infant can
safely tolerate 10,000 vaccines given simultaneously, which means that adults
likely can tolerate even more.
“Surely a man who has designed and sold
patent rights to a vaccine and has lobbied hard to eliminate vaccine exemptions
is qualified to serve as the final authority on vaccine safety,”Anti-Choicers United stated. “Any illness or subsequent disability or
death following receipt of a mandated vaccination can be assumed to be purely
coincidental, as the government mandate by definition presupposes safety.”

BS Alert Rolling Out in AprilThe government has already
begun monitoring Twitter and Facebook posts to detect anti-vaccine sentiment for
the purpose of monitoring for non-compliance with federal vaccine use
recommendations.
As early as next month, the BioSafety (BS) Alert system
will become fully functional, sending out text message alerts to any cellphone
within a 500 foot radius of one or more suspected unvaccinated adults, who may
also be parents of unvaccinated children. The BS Alerts will be categorized
according to threat level based on the number of unvaccinated threats milling
about in any given area:
1. BS Alert Level
1: One unvaccinated individual within a 500-foot radius of your current
location. Finish up what you're doing and calmly leave the
area.
2. BS Alert Level 2: Two to five
unvaccinated individuals within a 500-foot radius of your current location. Call
the BS Alert center for extraction
assistance.
3. BS Alert Level 3: More
than five unvaccinated individuals within a 500-foot radius of your current
location. No action required. Hazmat-equipped containment unit is automatically
dispatched to the scene of the anti-anti-choice conglomeration.

Tracking: 'Priceless' Disease Prevention AssuranceWith regard to cost,
the BioSafety (BS) electronic tracking portion of the mandatory adult
vaccination program is unlikely to add more than a few dollars a week to each
person’s cellphone billa price most Americans will gladly pay, according to
Anti-Choicers United.
“Tracking and alerting citizens that they are in close
proximity of one or more unvaccinated individuals is a priceless assurance of
disease prevention that most people will appreciate” said an Anti-Choicers’
United spokesperson.

Electronic GPS tracking systems via smartphones and
tablets are already operational, and the electronic medical records (EMRs)
system has also been initiated via the Affordable Care Act. It’s a rather simple
process to attach vaccination records to each individual’s cell phone account,
thereby being able to track the movements and moment-to-moment whereabouts of
individuals who are overdue on their shots.

Not
everyone is thrilled by the allure of such “priceless” disease prevention
assurance however, noting that privacy may be worth more than dollars and cents.
As noted by a leading pro-education, pro-vaccine choice non-profit group being
targeted by government for criticism and potential restricted speech
sanctions:4
“Adults should examine this plan
carefully because the U.S. Constitution guarantees American citizens the right
to privacy. There is no language in the plan that provides for consumer privacy
protections.
In that context, it is important to understand that the [plan]
objectives include electronically harnessing your personal medical information
and that of all adults for the purpose of increasing adult vaccine uptake in the
U.S. by tracking your vaccination status, with little regard for your privacy.

In response, Anti-Choicers United urged citizens to ignore such
selfish, anti-social rants, noting that it is a duty of government to
protect the public health by minimizing the impact of outdated notions of
privacy and informed consent rights. “Besides, thinking for yourself is
overrated in light of the brilliant minds making vaccine use recommendations and
writing sales copy for pharmaceutical companies,” one Anti-Choicers United
representative was overheard saying at a federal vaccine advisory committee
meeting in February. “We really should give those folks more credit for
bringing people such peace of mind through words alone. That is no small
feat.”What Initiated the Current Chain of Events?As noted by many media outlets, the Disneyland
measles outbreak in January highlighted the importance of adult
immunizations,5 as it was eventually determined that more
than half the measles cases actually occurred in adults. This means that waning
vaccine acquired immunity has pushed the disease that normally occurs in
childhood, into adulthood.
Children already receive a
booster shot but, clearly, adults need them too, and they’re not getting
them. “Age-induced vaccine-deficiency is clearly a serious problem that needs
to be rectified,” Anti-Choicers United said in a press release just days
after the once common childhood disease was diagnosed in a number of adults,
some of whom had received two or more MMR shots. As reported by the LA
Times ,6 some institutions took swift
action:
“A nationwide chain of about 1,500 daycare centers, said it will
begin requiring measles vaccines for all staff working with babies under 15
months old. The chain also will collect records of measles immunizations for all
workers. The move came as eight infants …in a Chicago suburb fell ill with the
measles. Disneyland has offered free measles shots for any of its 27,000 theme
park employees in California... Those without proof of immunity were put on paid
leave until it was clear they were not contagious.”Public health
officials issued the following statement:
“We need to ensure vaccine use
compliance from cradle to grave, as we know the science is clear that reactions
to pharmaceutical products are very, very, very rare and it is impossible in any
case to prove that prescription drugs and vaccines cause any harm at all. The
benefits far outweigh the risks, and to protect the public health there can be
no exceptions to vaccination. Anyone who believes in choice when it comes
to vaccines is anti-science.”Ironically, this comes
at a time when CDC is being questioned heavily about its ability to ensure
public health and safety. A recent report7 on lab safety at the CDC, created by a
committee of external experts, calls the agency's commitment to safety
"inconsistent and insufficient."
Regardless of such concerns, the adult
immunization plan will utilize the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems to
survey the nation, looking for adults who are not receiving mandatory medical
treatments. State and federal officials will now be able to identify and track
anyone who is not vaccinated based on their social security number, matched to
their electronic medical records and GPS location of their portable electronic
technologies, such as smartphones and tablets.
Mandatory pharmaceutical
interventions are now taking precedent over what Anti-Choicers United calls the
“outdated Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution.” Ironically, while the adult
vaccine mandate demands that you relinquish responsibility for your own
healthin fact you have no right to take on such a responsibilityyou
are responsible for the entirety of the public’s health, particularly
anyone you might into contact with... In short, if you are not vaccinated, you
are deemed to be immunocompromised, and therefore a threat to public health.
When asked about the possibility of carrying out a comparative study,
assessing health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals,
Anti-Choicers United replied: “We cannot include a healthy control group
opting out of the mandatory vaccination schedule. They would be free-loaders
coasting on the herd immunity built upon the backs of the compliant
conformers.”Anti-Choice advocate Dr. Paul Offit and
his colleagues also expressed disgust with herd immunity freeloaders taking
religious exemptions to vaccination, noting that, fortunately, it’s not that
difficult to “eliminate them once and for all” by writing laws that include
incarceration for refusal to conform to anti-choice dictates.8
Even though he
doesn’t believe in God, Offit recently proclaimed that Jesus9 himself was in favor of cradle to the
grave mandatory vaccinations. The mandatory vaccination program with its BS
electronic tracking and alert system offers a kick start to ensuring adult
compliance with federal vaccine use recommendations, and legal experts have
already said they expect laws to be added that give health officialsand
possibly even private citizensthe right to issue citizen arrests when
encountering an unvaccinated person.
The Future of the Immunocompromised
Elimination ProgramConcurrent with the rollout of
the Mandatory Adult Vaccination and Tracking Program, the establishment of an
Immunocompromised Elimination Program (IEP) will be funded to begin developing
new vaccines against other modern scourges. An anti-obesity vaccine10 is at the top of the list, as obesity severely impairs your
immune function, and potentially alters your immune response to influenza
vaccination.11 Estimates suggest a mandatory
anti-obesity vaccine may be available within the next five years.
“We really need this vaccine,” an Anti-Choicers United
spokesperson said, “as obese people might not respond sufficiently when given
their annual flu shot. This makes obese people a clear threat to public health,
just as if they were unvaccinated. Eventually, BMI will become part of the BS
Tracking program as well, which will help us identify and properly address the
public health threat that obese individuals pose. Obesity also impairs
cell-mediated immunity during pregnancy,12 which means obese pregnant women may
pose a particularly potent threat to public health unless they've been
vaccinated against obesity."News of the BS Alert and Tracking program
caused vaccine industrialists to flock to investors' meetings, in which
discussions have flowed over which vaccines might be good candidates for the
mandatory program. At present, the list of vaccines in line to be added to the
mandatory program include:
Ebola
HIV
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis E
Syphilis
Gonorrhea
Herpes
Cytomegalovirus
Enterovirus
E.coliAdenovirus
Obesity
High blood pressure
Acne
Tooth
decay
Chlamydia
Respiratory synctial virus (RSV)
Parainfluenza
Botulism
Salmonella
Norovirus
West Nile
virus
Malaria
Tuberculosis
Cholera
Dengue
virus
Asthma
Diabetes
Anti-smoking
Anti-cocaine and anti-heroin use
Phase 2 of the
Immunocompromised Elimination ProgramAlas,
vaccinating the human population will not suffice if the federal government
wants to ensure the eradication of all diseases and poor health conditions. Many
viruses and antibiotic resistant bacteria evolve in animals,13 which is why phase 2 of the IEP will focus on mandatory
multi-species vaccinations, from goats and chickens to gorillas. When
asked about the potential for increased microbe adaptation and vaccine
resistance occurring as a result of such universal interventions,
Anti-Choicers’ United spokesperson Iam Fullofit, issued
the following statement:
“The resistance and adaptation of these microbes
are not a concern, as faith in the human intelligence ensures the speed with
which we adapt vaccinations will obliterate the speed of nature and microbial
adaptation. Who could possibly doubt the superiority of the human intellect when
pitted against nature?
While some individuals may have serious, even fatal,
vaccine reactions, over time the vaccine vulnerable will be eliminated once and
for all. Natural selection is just one form of selection that impacts survival.
Selection through government mandates is a much more scientific approach over
the primitive natural selection mechanisms, which we deem to be thoroughly
antiquated in light of modern science.”Senator
Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery), sponsor of the Senate bill to remove religious and
conscientious belief exemptions stated the Anti-Choice message quite clearly:14 "I don't think someone should have the freedom to not
participate in protecting public health." But what about your right to
participate in protecting your own health? What if
protecting the public’s health means sacrificing your own life, or that of your
child?
Anti-Choicers say parents do not have the right to put their own
health or the health of their own children before the public health, and
that parents who refuse to obey federal health officials do not have the right
to martyr their children by using religious or conscientious belief exemptions
to opt out of vaccination.
But what about the children who end up being
martyred on the cross of public health? These are questions that many
anti-anti-choicers still want answers to, sooner rahter than later. Although, if
Anti-Choicers United has its way, such questions will soon be deemed too
un-American and anti-science to even be asked.
