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

Put up a sign if you do not want people knocking on your door.

Short of a fence with a locked gate, or a mean dog roaming the yard, your door is fair game for knocking by salesman, solicitors, neighbors, census takers, fed ex employees, mail carriers, people looking for lost pets, landscapers, and civil authorities during a pandemic.

no reason to be soliciting medical proceedures at my home
I have medical privacy rights, unlike those other examples

Somewhat. Not here though. This forum is in English. Too bad you speak only Liberal, and you had to use Google translate to generate this crud. Japanese do not normally speak this way.

I speak four languages fluently. You can't remember a post four seconds after you read it.

If you do not volunteer your medical information, they will not come. Calm down.

Random phrases. Meaningless. No apparent argument.

If you don't give any info, they won't come. That's the point.

It is a once-in-a-century pandemic.

You can survive having civil authorities knocking on you door once to inquire if you desire a free vacination courtesy of Uncle Sam

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.’”
