Strange big-brother-type stuff in PA

December 11, 2006

Hello everyone - I've never posted before but I've learned a lot

from this list and wanted to share this experience.

We got a card from the health dept last week " signed " by the

governor of PA saying congrats on your new baby! Make sure she gets

vaccinated! And a little shot record was attached to the card! It

was actually a Hallmark card with a tear-off vax record on it! How

creepy - Hallmark makes a card for the Pennsylvania health dept

reminding parents to get their kids vaccinated.

Another weird thing - the card looked really old, like they bought

thousands of them 15 years ago and haven't had to use them. Here's

what i think- i read in " what your doctor may not tell you about

children's vaccinations " by Cave that under the Clinton

administration, Donna Shalala started a federal vax registry that

tracks whether or not your kids have been vaccinated - every doc

reports the social security numbers of the vax'd kids in their

practices so they can tell who is and isn't vaxing. Now this card

came from the PA dept of health, not a federal gov't thing, but my

daughter is 3.5 months old and didn't receive any shots at 2 months.

I wonder if there was some kind of check done to see how many kids

didn't get their shots and if this card was sent as a reminder

because the database flagged her name/SSN.

This totally creeps me out. You know states receive money for each

vax'd kid in their state - the more vax'd kids, the more federal

money that the state gets. I think that is wrong and disturbing and

totally ... CREEPY. Especially considering the ones that REALLY

benefit are the pharma companies who are selling the vaxes! How much

do you think they make off childhood vaxes? BILLIONS.

I just can't understand how something can be for profit and made

into law - its one thing if the vaxes are law and free, but another

if big pharma is making a huge profit off them.

I'd appreciate hearing if any of the other PA moms have gotten

anything like this or if I'm being paranoid - or if any other people

in other states have received anything like it. When I was born in

1977 my mom got a " congratulations " card from the governor of PA,

but it didn't say anything about vaccinations!
