HA-B would amend HB6666 to entirely eliminate sections of the bill that grant the Connecticut Department of Health remote access to individual electronic medical records concerning “a reportable disease, emergency illness or health condition” in a manner the commissioner approves.
The House failed to pass HA-B on May 26, 2021, by a vote of 30 to 110. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because granting the government easy, warrantless access to an individual’s medical records violates the personal privacy protections of the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. States should oppose the creation of vaccine databases and other efforts that subject the people to involuntary, sweeping layers of government-sanctioned surveillance.
