The Biden administration is launching a new "door-to-door" effort to vaccinate Americans after falling short of its Fourth of July goal of having 70 percent of the adult population with at least one shot of the coronavirus vaccine.
Amid the administration's ongoing concerns of a surge of the more contagious Delta variant of the virus, President Biden pitched his plan to boost the vaccinated population during remarks he made on Tuesday.
"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.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also referred to the "door-to-door" effort while listing the five objectives of Biden's COVID response earlier in the day at Tuesday's briefing, citing "targeted community door-to-door outreach" to "get remaining Americans vaccinated by ensuring that they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine is."
Critics were quick to slam the new initiative on social media, including several GOP lawmakers.
"How about don’t knock on my door. You’re not my parents. You’re the government. Make the vaccine available, and let people be free to choose. Why is that concept so hard for the left?" Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, reacted to the president.
"The government now wants to go door-to-door to convince you to get an ‘optional’ vaccine," Rep. Lauren Bobert, R-Colo., warned.
"Hell no," Republican congressional candidate Sean Parnell exclaimed.
"Vaccine education and conversation should be between a doctor and patient, not by a grassroot government door knocker," physician and Fox News contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier wrote.

Door-to-door: Joe knows how to spread a virus.

Doctors could be sent posters to place in patient waiting rooms.
Doctors could be asked/paid to send out vaccination requests to their patients.
Local doctors could sign letters to the local newspaper and TV station editors. Folks, this is Andy Anchor, we recently got a letter from signed by the vast majority of the doctors in our county urging us to urge you to get vaccinated.
I’d dial 911 if a stranger came to my door and wouldn’t leave. The police are obligated to come to 911 calls. I bet they would find it very inconvenient.
Pro tip: don't even think about coming up my driveway.
I refuse to call him comrade - he’s just too unfriendly.
Uncle Joe is highly appropriate, IMO.
Come on in...we all have Covid.
Only one has to outrun the other. This should be great fun.
Excluding the pros with fancy cameras, there’s probably about five ordinary Americans in that group.

Same here - locked gate, posted property properly registered and IR alarms. The first warning is a red or green dot dancing on their forehead.
