*MCM* COVID19 to Usher in First Federal Mandatory Mass Vaccinations? https://vaccineimpact.com/2020/covid19-to-usher-in-first-federal-mandatory-mass-vaccinations/ Coronavirus Pt 2: ‘Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste’, Replay by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO, AOBNMM, ABIHM <https://vaxxter.com/coronavirus-pt-2-never-let-a-good-crisis-go-to-waste-replay/> Vaxxter <https://vaxxter.com/coronavirus-pt-2-never-let-a-good-crisis-go-to-waste-replay/> Until recently, the concept of mandatory and mass vaccination has been only a worrisome possibility. Vaccination laws are passed and monitored at the state level, not at the federal level. But while the country was still struggling to recover from the events of September 11, 2001, and the bioterrorism scares of smallpox <https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/articles-and-news/2002/12/how-public-health-has-changed-since-9-11.html> and anthrax threats <https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/anthrax-letters-terrorized-nation-now-decontaminated-public-view-180960407/>, the groundwork to make vaccines mandatory began to change in 2003, during President George W. Bush’s State of the Union Address. <https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2004/07/20040721-2.html> On that fateful night, Bush revealed the creation of Project BioShield, a comprehensive effort to develop and make available modern, effective drugs and vaccines to protect against attack by biological and chemical weapons. Project BioShield <https://astho.org/Programs/Preparedness/Public-Health-Emergency-Law/Emergency-Use-Authorization-Toolkit/Project-BioShield-Act-Fact-Sheet/> set forth three major components: 1. Creation of a permanent ‘indefinite funding authority’ to spur development of ‘medical countermeasures enabling the government to purchase vaccines and other therapies *as soon as experts believe* that they can be made safe and effective’ 2. Conferred new authority to the NIH to speed research and development of drugs and vaccines that would counter bioterrorism threats and, 3. Authorized emergency ‘fast track provisions for the release of treatments—drugs and vaccines—still waiting for approval by the FDA ‘in the event of an emergency.’ As sweeping as those plans may seem, the legislation failed to include key provisions sought by the drug companies—complete liability protection for all of its bioterrorism products. During 2003 and 2004, any bills that were introduced by both the House and the Senate attempting to secure *complete liability protection* for the industry were done through federal law. In 2005 alone, 13 bills were introduced. One such bill, The Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005 was gaining traction. *Click on the link for the rest.* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
