Proof of Vaccination Record

Accessed November 2009

This article was found at www.semp.us.  The following is the government’s take on those who resisted the small pox vaccinations as they developed.  Those who resist vaccination are ridiculed, mocked, isolated, and worse.

What is Anti-Vaccinationism?
Biot Report #663: November 12, 2009

Anti-vaccinationism is opposition to vaccination. The anti-vaccinationist opposes vaccination for one or more reasons, e.g., belief that vaccination is unsafe, ineffective, oppressive or religiously intrusive. Vaccination is the intentional administration of a foreign material (vaccine) to produce immunity to (protection against) a disease. Vaccinationism is the belief that vaccination is safe and effective in producing immunity to disease and the very best way to prevent disease. (1)

Invisible Tattoo for the Masses?

For the past several years many of us have been watching the company Somark.  The idea of an implantable, glass microchip the size of a grain of rice into the flesh of man and beast alike was repulsive to most people.  Somark has deveoped an invisible RFID readable tattoo.  Nobody knows you have it.  It is your little secret.  The concept is reminisicent of WWII when undesirables were tattooed on their forearm.  DOD documents in 2006 revealed that anything ‘chipped’ for purposes of tracking would need to be placed on an exterior position because the density of the object being tracked can throw off the reading.

Somark has concluded its field animal studies and is now ready for other purposes.  What is Somark saying about its product(s)?

Hello, we’re SOMARK Innovations – the creators of the versatile SOMARK ID system. Our aim is to provide advancements in identification and tracking – specifically lab-animal identification. By helping researchers reduce development timelines, our technology has an increased likelihood for success.

Why our technology Simple.

  • easy to apply, reliable and cost effective
  • both human and computer readable
  • designed for touchless reading for reduced animal stress

Launching the SOMARK system will provide the research community with an identification system that increases the accuracy of data and reduces the labor costs associated with animal identification.  Hello, we’re SOMARK Innovations – the creators of the versatile SOMARK ID system.

Guillotine: A New Meaning to Breakfast

A pesticide has been approved and is currently being used especially on products containing oatmeal.  Knowing the propensity of certain folks to use language that hits below the belt, as one might say, or give a clue as to a more sinister dual meaning, has surfaced once again.

I have another document with the link to oatmeal but it is currently in a pile of documents on the desk.  I will post it when it surfaces.

Yes!  I want to see the document!  Click here: guillotine-labeltextjuly07

10 Minute Citizen:  NASDA is your state Department of Agriculture.  They have joined together to form an Association that represents us.  Call your state Representatives, Senators, and Congressmen and women and tell them NO to regionalization.  Be polite as they are very nervous these days and you don’t want to the *t* list.

Forget-Me-Not: Food as a Weapon

Does this look familiar?  We have gone full circle.  Once again we have the wartime nutrition program.  You see those bones on the plate?  When farmers don’t fight intrusive regulation’s those will be our bones, and the bones of consumer’s who won’t have food.

VS IT Data Collection Roadmap for Your Farm

Summary:
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Veterinary Services (VS) is committed to ensuring that private citizen’s information relevant to animal disease management, as defined by international standards, and surveillance, is gathered, protected, and shared. by collaborating partner’s.

VS mission is to improve the health, quality, and marketability of our nation’s animals (asset’s), animal products, and veterinary biologics by preventing, controlling, and/or eliminating animal diseases, and by monitoring and promoting animal health, as defined by international standards, and productivity, also as defined by international standards.

With the divergent animal health management needs across the United States this report outlines VS’ vision for its partners and stakeholders to contribute data directly into the VS data repositories and will impact every farmer: commercial and hobbyist whose very existence is being eliminated from the agricltural landscape.

Assuming that respondents and nonrespondents are more similar than dissimilar, the acceptable response rate ranges anywhere between 50 and 70 percent; therefore, at 60 percent, the response rate is acceptable.

The mission of the VS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is providing IT solutions that support animal disease surveillance and management programs.

The system provides a consistent standard method of data capture at all levels and provides data dissemination to the appropriate existing databases and is a single point of access to VS’ electronic forms, applications, and certification processes required for interstate and international movement of animals and animal products.

The chain of animal health surveillance begins with animal health practitioners (your vet) in the field collecting data and specimens from animals on farms and other facilities to test for the presence of animal diseases.

VSPS provides a consistent and standard method of data capture at all levels and provides data dissemination to the appropriate existing databases.
