You have to ask yourself, why now? Data centers, Flock cameras, Axon cameras, popping up everywhere at an alarming rate. Most without a vote or public approval. Why now? Can they be used for good? Yes, but. . . . Once this infrastructure is in place, it will be nearly impossible to get rid of. What happens if an administration hell-bent on tracking politcal opponents gets in power? You don’t think this technology won’t be used for nefarious purposes? How many conservatives and conservative organizations were targeted and or censored under the Obama and Biden administrations? How many police officers were either fired, suspended or disciplined for using this technology for illegal purposes? Who or what will be able to safeguard how these will be used? The proverbial fox guarding the henhouse? If this infrastructure had been in place during Covid, on the order of Dr. Fauci, or some other unelected official, they could have locked down the entire country. Like any other powerful technology, it could be used for good, or potentially weaponzed for great harm. Overall, I do not trust Flock nor Axon.

President Trump has announced new “Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations” that significantly reduce the number of routinely recommended childhood vaccine shots and give parents a greater role in deciding which vaccines their children receive. Which statement best reflects your view?
