Biden's 'door to door' vaccine campaign slammed as invasion of privacy

It is a good thing for people who don’t have access to getting it. It isn’t jackbooting, they aren’t forcing you to take the vaccine. It’s optional.

Your mailman knocks on your door to try to force you to participate in vaccine trials? Jehovas Witnesses have never knocked on my door. Seriously. Not even once. Having the government go door to door to utilize the power of the federal government to get you to do something is jackbooting. Jehovas Witnesses totally leaving me alone, not so much. Nor is a company dropping mail into a box at a different site.

Force? Come on Damo, they aren’t forcing anyone. You’re being hyperbolic.

The wording of the sign is important. It needs to read, "No soliciting", not "no solicitors." Beyond that, technically, only salespeople are covered under the sign. People advocating for a policy, religion, or health concerns are not covered. Most will not go to a house that is posted, but that is not a legal requirement.

It certainly does not prevent the government from going to your house. In fact, I am sure a representative of the government visits your house several times a week. That postal employee may well bring you a pamphlet explaining that vaccinating saves lives.

If you shoot him, you are committing a crime.

Mailman puts mail in your mailbox. They don't knock on your door for that. Package delivery, except for the now quasi-government USPS, is private corporations. Census takers can knock, you can ignore them. Some idiot comes wanting to know your vaccination status? Hit the road, you ain't got nothin' comin'.

he administration aimed to have 70% of adults receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccination shot by July 4. But it fell short of meeting that goal.

"Now we need to go community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and often times door-to-door — literally knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus," Biden said on Tuesday.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki then elaborated on Biden’s remarks on the door-to-door vaccine campaign.

Republicans questioned the legality of such a concept. “Constitutionality notwithstanding, unless this specific activity was authorized by Congress, it’s illegal,” Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky told the Washington Examiner. “If the president truly believes the most transmissible variants are now circulating, why is he sending possible vectors of the disease to people’s houses?”

Massie and other critics cite the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The 1996 law is intended to protect patient privacy and restricts how insurance firms, hospitals, and other businesses can use a person’s medical data without one’s permission.

Advocates of Biden’s door-to-door campaign argue that if a person volunteers their vaccine history, it is not a violation of HIPPA. But Massie responded that “if the door-knockers have data that informs which doors to knock, then their very presence at someone’s door would disclose that person’s likely vaccine status.”

Massie added, “What right do they have to enter someone’s property, to begin with? At least the census is a constitutionally prescribed activity.”

Rep. Chip Roy took issue with the Biden administration’s “gross abuse of power.” The Texas Republican told the Washington Examiner in a statement, "Nowhere in the Constitution does it say, ‘The federal government shall go door to door pushing Americans into vaccine trials.’"

Roy called the Biden administration vaccination effort “an attempt for the Biden administration to bully Americans into injecting themselves with vaccinations."

Unmentioned, Roy said,
It's unclear if federal government employees or contractors from third-party firms will be the ones who will visit people’s homes in the vaccine outreach campaign.

Additionally, the Biden administration was vague about whether these visits would include questions regarding a resident’s COVID-19 vaccine history and if that resident plans to get the shot in the future.

“It took months to hire half a million people and collect census data. How does Biden practically expect to do this while still paying the unemployment bonus, without further exacerbating the labor shortage?” Massie wondered.

The Kentucky lawmaker thinks funding for such a campaign came from the last stimulus package and “is already flowing to media and social media corporations through the $1 billion program ‘to increase vaccine confidence.’”

Looks like a good way for a government agent to get damaged.
