Now that his vow to have 70% of Americans vaccinated by July 4 has fallen short, President Biden is planning to send federal agents on a door-to-door campaign to convince "hesitators" to take the jab. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) called this move "deeply disturbing. It's intrusive, intimidating, and unnecessary. The government has already offered free vaccination to anyone who wants it. Those who don't want it are entitled to be left alone."
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra strongly disagreed with Biggs' objections. "It is absolutely the governments business to know who has been vaccinated and who hasn't," Becerra said. "We are spending trillions and doing our best to protect everyone's health. It is essential that the American people cooperate in this undertaking. That means following our directives and taking the medicine we prescribe."
Press Secretary Jen Psaki said criticism of the door-to-door campaign "is a disservice to the country. This is a situation where we all should be united behind the strategy that the President has chosen for us. It is the duty of leaders like Rep. Biggs to support the President by urging his constituents to get vaccinated. That he is not doing this is what is really disturbing."
CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner went even further by demanding that "it's time to start mandating people to get the coronavirus vaccination. Luckily, many of our more patriotic corporations are requiring their employees to get vaccinated if they want to keep their jobs. Oregon is planning to send National Guard troops door-to-door to vaccinate those who haven't yet been vaccinated. Not getting vaccinated is simply unacceptable behavior when a democratically elected government has told you to get vaccinated."
"Coercing people to undergo medical treatments they don't want is not a proper use of government power," Biggs argued. "First, COVID is far less deadly than advertised for many segments of society. Second, the vaccines are more dangerous for some age groups than the virus. Young people face a near zero risk of death from COVID. Yet, thousands of people within this age group have been experiencing horrible reactions to being vaccinated. I don't blame them for not wanting to be vaccinated. And I certainly can't support the punitive approaches being taken by government and businesses to pressure them to receive these experimental drugs."

We spend Trillions on Welfare- shouldn’t we have a say on who is using it for drugs? Mandatory drug tests for everyone on Welfare.
