Right now, state governments across the country are receiving enormous sums of federal money to create and maintain detailed profiles on each and every citizen. Unfortunately, the Missouri government has taken the cash-infusion bait. All sorts of personal, private-citizen information is slated to be added to these government-managed digital profiles. These “single sign-on” (SSO for short) or “one-login” citizen profiles are designed to offer “increased security, stronger identity verification processes, ease of use, more efficient data exchange,” and, as Governor Parson’s office stated, to establish “a technology command center.”
The effort to create “single sign-on” profiles for all Missouri citizens received federal funding from the Biden administration on July 1, 2022. The nefarious plan is to have hand-picked, unelected bureaucrats within the Missouri government create “a data repository that all agencies can pull from for basic resident data…” But, this is just the beginning. As SB7 outlines, this newly created “Chief Data Officer” will decide who (aside from you) gets to see and use your personal information and how much of it is made available. And, get this: The new “Chief Data Officer” will report to Missouri’s Chief Information Officer, who has worked for both the Federal Reserve, and the IRS in Washington, D.C!
If the concept of a federally-funded, bureaucrat-run government profile makes you uncomfortable, your instincts are correct. And the playbook is the same all across the nation in both red and blue states, so there won’t be any state where you can escape. In summary, state governments create and maintain a “data repository” which will enable businesses and corporations nationwide to access a citizen’s private information via the citizen’s “single sign-on” digital profile. Citizens will then be bullied into compliance with Washington’s progressive ideology through a wide-variety of discriminatory practices. Corporations and businesses may even begin to package, repackage, and then sell citizens’ personal, private information. And apparently state and federal law currently allows all of this, even in Missouri!
In 2021, according to the Missouri Times, “Governor Mike Parson said the state would never mandate vaccine passports but would support the private sector, such as a business owner, who would want to implement such a policy. ‘If the private sector wants to do that, I’m fine with that,’ Parson said…” Under the proposed plan, Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services’ ShowMeVax program. as part of the state’s “data repository” and a citizen’s “single sign-on profile” could be leveraged by a movie theater, concert hall, amusement park, restaurant, insurance company, and more, to discriminate against an unvaccinated Missouri citizen. In fact, the deeply corrupt and federally-influenced Illinois government has already included its Vax Verify program in Illinois citizens’ single sign-on profiles. Reports of vaccination status are already being used to justify increased auto insurance rates due to profiling those who declined the COVID shot as “engaging in risky behavior” and deserving of higher insurance premiums, all based on a study that attempted to show that COVID vaccine hesitancy is linked to an increased risk of a traffic crash.
If you’re thinking that Missouri businesses won’t comply and require proof of vaccination, testing, and more for entry or service in the future, think again. Government, whether state or federal, has ways to encourage the private sector to do what it wants. Research “corporate credit scores” and “ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) scores” which are being embraced by the anti-freedom ideologues right now, as well.
Lastly, you should know Missouri is already working with President Biden’s Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology on the Fed’s Interoperability Proving Ground building and testing detailed profiles for Missourians with developmental disabilities. The federal government is, of course, paying 90% of the costs for this “modernization” effort through grants.
As Stand for Health Freedom reported last year, data “harmonization” and “interoperability” nationwide is critical to the dystopian agenda to monitor and control countless aspects of the lives of citizens, including their medical decisions.
People of Missouri, this is a “nip-it-in-the-bud” moment. Please take action today!
Call and email your senator, demanding an amendment to SB7 with a Citizen/Consumer Data Bill of Rights which, at the very least, must include:
1) Provisions to prohibit both government and private-sector entities from coercing citizens to provide their personal, private information including, but not limited to, information related to an individual’s health and medical decisions;
2) Provisions to prohibit discrimination by government and private sector-entities based on their personal, private information including, but not limited to, information related to an individual’s health and medical decisions;
3) Provisions to ensure the right of citizens to give or withhold informed consent to any usage or transfer of non-deidentified data for any purpose other than its original intent;
4) Provisions to provide a public right of action against any person and/or government or corporate entity which accesses, transfers, and/or stores a citizen’s private, personal data without expressly provided informed consent including, but not limited to, being notified of, and given the right to opt out of, the processing of the citizen/consumer’s health data for purposes of:
- Targeted advertising,
- The sale of health data,
- Genetics based testing/analysis,
iii. Profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.
NOTE: Notification to the consumer of the processing or sale of data for the above activities must be in plain language. They must be notified about the type of health data subject to the activities and whether that health data is linked to personal or other non-health information; and that anyone purchasing or receiving data must delete or return data. Consumers must also be told how to file a complaint.
