Revenge- Vaxpass Lite

Will Indiana institute Vaccine Passports?

SB47 VaxPass Lite will be heard in committee again this Wednesday, February 8th.

Citizen testimony will not be heard, but the bill will be amended and voted on.

Be sure to call the Senate Health & Provider Services Committee and tell them:

“Vote NO on SB 47 VaxPass Lite. SB47 violates IC 16-39-11. Excuses for voting yes will not be accepted.”

It has been 3 weeks since the initial hearing and testimony from the public.

During that hearing, the committee admitted that the Indiana State Department of Health would be issuing a scannable record for proof of vaccination with the intent to use it for travel. 

It has been 3 weeks since the initial hearing and testimony from the public.

During that hearing, the committee admitted that the Indiana State Department of Health would be issuing a scannable record for proof of vaccination with the intent to use it for travel.

By definition, this scannable record IS a vaccine passport. 

One member of the committee also recognized that QR codes to show proof of vaccination may be obtained easily from 3rd parties. Confirming the testimony given by Ashley Grogg.

If a legislator votes yes to SB47 they will be voting for a bill that would violate IC 16-39-11, passed in 2021, preventing the state from issuing or requiring an immunization passport. 

Make your calls today!

You might be wondering, why after 3 weeks the chair decided to bring this back to vote.

Some speculate that it could be Senator Charbonneau’s revenge for activists declaring the truth about SB4 Public Health Commission on February 1st.

“Will Governor Eric Holcomb’s COVID lockdown kill his public health overhaul?” was the headline of an article published by the Indy Star February 2nd.

The article reported Hoosiers “seized the opportunity” to spread COVID “misinformation” and claim that the bill was a “Trojan Horse” in an effort to usurp county control.

They got one thing right, SB4 is a Trojan Horse.

Hoosiers would be so lucky to kill this bill.

Many truths were exposed about the bill even though citizen voices were suppressed and disregarded.

Two hours of “Lobbyist Parade” was heard prior to the first citizen testifying.
You read that right.
Not a single voter testimony was heard for over two hours!
Senator Ed Charbonneau, chairman of the committee, started the meeting at 9 am, warned that time for testimony was limited, and there were a large number of individuals signed up to testify.

He feigned concern for everyone being able to testify stating “Please keep testimony to 3 minutes.”
Hoosiers noted the disgusting display of favoritism to lobbyists and those representing the interests of the medical-industrial complex as they were called up one after another. Hoosiers started calling Charbonneau's office demanding the “lobbyist parade end.”
Over two hours into the committee hearing, and about 20 minutes after angry calls started streaming into Charbonneau's office, citizen testimony began.

Once finally allowed to speak, a county commissioner bravely rebuked the bill with genuine concerns.
Sen. Charbonneau struck at him with harsh words as if he didn’t actually hear the concerns from the Commissioner that the “opt-in” didn’t leave room for opting out.
Charbonneau practically yelled at the Commissioner stating that the bill wouldn’t impact his county if he opted out. The commissioner tried to explain again to no avail.
Nearly every citizen who spoke requested that the senators review the Public Health Commission’s June 30th meeting.

The commission was quoted by many of the citizens exposing where concerns about the “Trojan Horse” originated.

Hear what some of the June 30th meeting here.

In what only appears to be an effort to remain ignorant, Senator Charbonneau refused to hear a 1.5-minute clip from the meeting during a testimony.

Despite compelling evidence including multiple direct quotes from the commission discussing bypassing “home rule," increasing public health requirements to force participation, and re-education campaigns, the committee went on to unanimously vote in favor of the bill.

Nearly every member added that they have concerns but didn’t want to “impede the process” and hoped that the bill would be “fixed.”

If we learned anything from last year, it is that these bills only get worse as they move along.

Republican leadership blindly follows the words of Governor Holcomb and the committee chairs do the bidding of leadership.

Republican leadership is known to state that the “heavy lifting” should be done in committee and not amongst the entire assembly.

The likelihood of this bill being improved in favor of Hoosiers is slim to nil.

In fact, inside sources suggest that the bill will only become worse.

Yet somehow EVERY LAST COMMITTEE member voted “yes” and supported this bill that will ultimately lead to bigger government and Federal strings that will restrict the rights of the county.

Hoosiers, our legislators must receive a clear message.

Hoosiers expect their representatives to vote with their conscious, not the party line. Excuses for votes will no longer be tolerated.

Hoosiers are watching. 

Hoosiers are participating.

Hoosiers will connect legislative season to election season.

Call your own legislators. Tell them “Excuses will not be tolerated. Protect Liberty. Vote No to coercion and the Governor’s Public Health Commission.”
