"Backlash" against door to door vaccination effort

Because they are morons.

I wish the media would start bring up door to door proselytizing in response. It’s offensive.

That's a good one.

They think there is a list the government has of who has and has not gotten the vaccine. While there are now major hot pockets of cases.

Missouri has requested-and is getting federal help due to a spike in Covid. But even though the Missouri governor requested help, he opposes vaccination outreach.

It’s madness.

As for Dan Crenshaw, he will do and say anything for attention. Pathetic.

Ridiculous.

Oddly enough, there are people who aren’t strongly against it who haven’t been vaccinated.

Dd has a sublet in her apartment for a few weeks. Everyone Dd knows is vaccinated. Her roommate didn’t even think to ask because all these NY based performers are vaccinated and got it as soon as they could. This is an LA based musician. She asked Dd about where to take hip hop classes and as Dd explained, she mentioned in passing that you need to show your proof of vaccination the first time you go. Dd was shocked and angered that this person was not vaccinated. Dd told her where the walk in places where and she did go get vaccinated 2 days later. This is the type of person that would have benefitted from a door to door campaign.

Bottom line: anything that makes Biden look good is a bad idea.

And Elvis Presley got his polio shot on the Ed Sullivan Show - and then sang “Hound Dog.” 

One of my earliest memories is both hazy and precise - being at my siblings’ school and a nice nurse in a white cap giving me a little paper cup with my polio sugar cube. But why was I at the school, I’ve sometimes wondered. I wasn’t old enough. 

Googling now, I learn that in the early ‘60s whole neighborhoods would line up on a Saturday or Sunday at the local school to suck on those cubes. Even though everybody had already had the shot, this was version 2.0 and the cultural memory of the previous decade inspired wholesale participation.

They needed thousands of volunteers; the school PTAs regularly served as the record keepers. Dads knocked on elderly neighbors’ doors and offered rides. People strung streams and balloons. And little tyke me remembers it because it was a big party.

President Kennedy’s exhortation was “There’s nothing scary about a sugar cube” and he wasn’t excoriated and branded a Communist for saying so. (And that’s saying somethin’ for those days…)

Yes, Lyft and Uber both offered free rides in NJ too. The local senior busses went to the mega centers and are still going to other places for the vaccines.

you're a mind-reader, are you? I really doubt this would happen. 'The Left' is concerned about the overall good, which IMO includes efforts such as door-to-door canvassing so EVERYONE can be given the (easy) opportunity to NOT DIE.

Sure...lol.

I remember when the Rubella vaccine came out, I was of the early teen age that was the initial first shot was targeted at. The NSW Dept of Health came to my (private) school and every girl in my class got the shot. I cannot imagine that is a thing there anymore, but no one objected then. It was considered a Public Health service.

I take that back. It seems in most states, except Queensland, school vaccination programs are still a thing there.

I feel the same way. There are already folks on Twitter and Instagram foaming at the mouth about their 2nd amendment rights and 'putting them to good use' for anyone that comes knocking on their door.

Yeah probably pretty close. I may be slightly younger/older? I’m 47. I actually looked in that thing i posted and it was started in 70-71 which is much earlier than I remember, I got mine mid 80s. They had a short class before where they explained why we were getting it, and any reactions to look out for, then we all got them pretty much the same way as you did, assembly line style. 😂

Maybe they could take out a couple Girl Scouts first and see how it goes.
Then some woman trying to get signatures to run for school board.
Work their way up to the big prize of vaccine offerer.
After all, unconstitutionality has a pecking order.

(Which is why it’s hands-off for the evil census worker. Article I, Sec. 2.)

To think we’ve moved from the invented “They’ll come to our houses and seize our guns!” to the real “THEY’LL COME TO OUR HOUSES AND OFFER A PANDEMIC-STOPPING VACCINE!” as grist for ideological outrage and a call to arms.

I’m gonna go suck on a sugar cube and mourn my country.
