With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set to discuss Pfizer‘s Emergency Use Authorization vaccine for COVID on December 10, and Moderna’s authorization on December 17, millions of Americans wonder what happens once Pfizer and Moderna receive approval. According to CNN, shipping should begin for the initial doses on December 15 for Pfizer’s 22.5 million doses and on December 22 for Moderna’s 18.5 million doses.
In preparation for the coming vaccination, the U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed that people receiving the COVID-19 vaccine will be given a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card,” according to a different CNN report.
Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, told CNN,
Vaccination cards will be used as the simplest way to keep track of COVID-19 shots. Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due; let’s do the simple, easy thing first. Everyone’s going to get that.
Vaccination clinics will also be reporting to their state immunization registries what vaccine was given, so that, for example, an entity could run a query if it didn’t know where a patient got a first dose.
According to CNN, Moore further stated, “Many places are planning to ask patients to voluntarily provide a cell phone number, so they can get a text message telling them when and where their next dose is scheduled to be administered.”
In the same article, CNN quoted Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers, as saying that “every dose administered will be reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
CNN reported that the CDC did not respond to inquiries about “whether such a database would include a record of everyone immunized.”
The cards were also mentioned in a Department of Defense press conference given by General Gustave Perna, Operation Warp Speed’s (OWS) chief operating officer, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II, and Dr. Moncef Slaoui, chief advisor to OWS.
According to NPR, General Perna said at the briefing:
We’ve set up everything [in] a draconian process, where when we send out the ancillary kits which have needles and syringes, we’ve included paper cards to be filled out and … given to the individuals, reminding them of their next vaccine due date.
Vaccination cards are not unique to the coronavirus; people are given them after receiving vaccines for yellow fever, smallpox, meningococcal meningitis, and polio. The World Health Organization (WHO) has an international certificate of vaccination or prophylaxis that verifies vaccines, especially for yellow fever, used for international travel. Vaccine cards also record children’s vaccines for school.
But skeptics wonder if the COVID cards will be used as the basis for a worldwide “health agency” that demands that we receive certain treatments, and is set up as a predecessor to a socialist global health regime, now that globalists are literally claiming that an all-powerful world government is necessary to face the future. The sample COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card requires a person’s first name, last name, and middle initial, birthdate, the vaccine’s name and maker, the dates and locations of the first and second doses received. This form will work for either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines since both require two shots.
At the same press conference, Azar encouraged Americans to take the vaccines: “Vaccines will only bring this pandemic to an end if enough Americans choose to take these vaccines. We now have highly promising efficacy data that I believe many Americans are encouraged by and excited about.”
Then, Azar went on to say: ”These vaccine products will be assessed with the same rigor that Americans can expect when it comes to any other vaccine or drug that is reviewed by the FDA.”
Dr. Slaoui added: ”So between mid-December and the end of February, we will have potentially immunized 100 million people, which is really more or less the size of the significant at-risk population,” comprising the elderly, healthcare workers, and first-line workers, according to this Department of Defense article.
The excitement being generated by those in the media, government, and pharmaceutical industry for this new vaccine rollout is not reciprocated by a large percentage of the American public. A recent Pew Research poll showed only 60 percent of Americans “would definitely or probably get a vaccine for the coronavirus if one were available today.” In comparison, “four-in-ten (39%) say they definitely or probably would not get a coronavirus vaccine.” Perhaps one reason resistance to the vaccine is so high is that people remember other disastrous medicines that underwent similar “rigorous” FDA standards such as Vioxx, Bextra, and Baycol.
