In June 2021, the TN Department of Health and then Commissioner of Health, Lisa Piercey, were brought before the legislature’s Joint Government Operations Committee to testify regarding reports that the department was marketing shots for COVID-19 directly to children.
Statements from state legislators were firm and resolute as to the finding that this behavior from the department was unacceptable. Here is a direct quote from Senator Kerry Roberts of Springfield, TN (begins on the video at 1:04:18).
“Here’s what it looks like to me. It looks like the Department of Health is marketing to children and it looks like you’re advocating…So, my very specific request to the Department of Health is to stop marketing to children…And these messages, that, if you feel like you need get them out, send them to the parents and not the children. But even then, ask the question, what is the role of the Department of Health in Tennessee? Is it to meddle in the lives of other people or is it to be a resource?” (emphasis added)
Commissioner Piercey was subsequently fired (or resigned as publicly reported). But the fundamental question we need to ask ourselves in light of everything said during this testimony is, “What is the role of government?” Is it indeed the role of a state agency to use your tax dollars to create programs that are aimed at advocating a position on medical care or working to convince you that a certain type of medical treatment is appropriate for you and your family? This committee’s answer to that question seemed to be, no. And certainly, I believe the opinion of most conservative Tennesseans on this very question is a resounding, no.
It is also worth noting that just four short months later in October 2021, the General Assembly called itself into a special session (for only the third time in state history) and passed the COVID Protection Bill which per TCA § 14-2-101, restricts the state and any state agency from mandating or requiring a shot for COVID-19.
Citizens petitioned their state government for good reason. We don’t trust the pharmaceutical industry. And we don’t trust the messaging that has been propagated about this virus. Bottom line, Tennesseans want the freedom to make their own medical decisions without the interference of government. Seems reasonable.
And despite the plethora of studies now available revealing the low efficacy of this shot and the great potential for harmful side effects (like death), some medical professionals and academics in Tennessee are hellbent on making sure that your children get vaccinated. Even the Danish government is strictly recommending the shot only for adults aged 50 and up. More importantly, you should note that in Denmark, the shot for COVID-19 is now off the market for minors.
“From 1 July 2022, it was no longer possible for children and adolescents aged under 18 to get the first injection and, from 1 September 2022, it was no longer possible for them to get the second injection.”
On May 2, 2022, Knox News (a subsidiary of The Tennessean), published an article stating the following:
“The state awarded the UT College of Nursing a $5.5 million grant to specifically promote immunization among children and older adults.
The program comes nearly a year after the Tennessee Department of Health halted all adolescent vaccine outreach following pressure from Republican state lawmakers. The change decreased efforts to inoculate young people against coronavirus and other infectious diseases.”
So, let’s get this straight. The legislature requires that a state agency stop spending money marketing the shot to minors. Then the legislature passes a law restricting state agencies from requiring the shot at all, furthering its resolve on the issue.
But where there is a will, there is always a way.
In response, the TN Department of Health (under the leadership of “conservative” Governor Bill Lee) awards a $5.5 million grant to the University of Tennessee’s College of Nursing (their largest grant to date per their own admission) so that they may finance programs that encourage vaccinations for children.
Let’s dig into this just a bit, shall we?
The grant was written by Dr. Victoria Niederhauser, who also happens to run a website called Shot Survey where she licenses out a survey that she has developed through her own research with the express purpose of identifying barriers and addressing vaccine hesitancy primarily for childhood vaccinations. In short, she wants you to vax your kids and provides tools to governments as to how to convince you to do it, all with your tax dollars.
Interestingly, we received a copy of a survey being disseminated amongst the elderly through the help of the Meals on Wheels program. If you care to look, the survey is incredibly similar to the format presented on Dr. Niederhauser’s personal website and also carries the moniker of the Community Registered Nurse Navigator (CRNN). That said, this survey is indeed part of the state’s $5.5 million program. I would be very curious to know the amount of Dr. Niederhauser’s licensing fee she is receiving from the state for the use of her proprietary survey (speculation). Surely, she is not financially benefiting from the grant that she was awarded by the state at her request as a representative of the University of Tennessee. No way that would happen (sarcasm).
According to the article from Knox News,
“The grant program, which runs through 2024, is still looking to hire dedicated, registered nurses to work in the communities in which they live, and the salary is competitive, Niederhauser said. Nurses will be paid $72,800 a year.”
Just to quick recap where we are, the legislature reprimanded the TN Department of Health in June 2021 for spending tax dollars on marketing shots to children and demanded that they cease this activity. Seemingly, they complied.
Now in 2022, the TN Department of Health has awarded $5.5 million to the University of Tennessee to run a program that pays registered nurses almost $73,000 a year to survey communities and formulate a plan on how to convince families to get shots for their children. You see how that works, right? By the way, if you are passionate about coercing people into taking vaccines and a registered nurse, you can apply here.
And now for the grand finale’.
On November 10, 2022, a task force meeting was held by the TN Department of Health where the SmartSHOTS program was introduced. In short, SmartSHOTS is an app seemingly developed for the purpose of increasing vaccination rates amongst young children and is developed out of the research of Dr. Niederhauser and the Community Registered Nurse Navigator survey program. Meaning, these two programs are tied together and both part of the $5.5 million funding from the state, again, your tax dollars.
What I found incredibly interesting is that listed as part of this program is Dr. Xueping Li, a Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering with UTK. Dr. Li is a graduate of the premier Chinese state-sponsored Nankai University in Tianjin Province. Already, I am curious.
Nankai was part of the 985 Project, started in 1998 by the Chinese Communist Party for the express purpose of building a better reputation for the CCP and their Ministry of Education across the world. But more interesting, is that this program’s intent was also to create pathways for graduates like Dr. Xueping Li to be placed abroad at other institutions of higher learning, especially in research fields.
But wait, there is one more thing.
Now, take this for what it is. I cannot with absolute certainty say that this is the same person. But a person named Xueping Li, associated with Nankai University was part of a study published in the Journal of Virology in December 2019 (the date is important) that studied viral replication connected to coronaviruses (CoV).
And according to Dr. Li’s LinkedIn profile, his favorite person is Bill Gates.
Here’s the thing. As we reported last year, Bill Lee’s office spent upwards of $10 million on slick marketing and TV ads trying to convince you to wear masks and how effective they are in addition to calling you selfish for not wearing them. And now, they are at it again spending $5.5 million convincing you to vaccinate your children.
I wonder if the state of Tennessee is going to spend millions of dollars studying the efficacy of the mRNA shot, the potential ties to a rise in adolescent myocarditis, or perhaps if a decrease in childhood vaccinations has actually had an effect on mortality rates. Personally, I would love to see the results of those studies.
If at first you don’t succeed (in vaccinating the children), try, try again with a little help from China.
