Well, this ought to give him the warm fuzzies then.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra argued that the federal government is entitled to know who has been vaccinated against COVID-19, responding to concerns over a recently announced White House plan to send teams door-to-door.
“Perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic, so it is absolutely the government’s business. It is taxpayers’ business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra told CNN on Thursday.
Becerra claimed that “knocking on a door has never been against the law” and “you don’t have to answer, but we hope you do.” He added, “Because if you haven’t been vaccinated, we can help dispel some of those rumors you’ve heard and hopefully get you vaccinated.”
In a later tweet, Becerra said his comments to CNN were taken “wildly out of context.”
“To be clear: government has no database tracking who is vaccinated,” he tweeted. “We’re encouraging people to step up to protect themselves, others by getting vaccinated. It’s the best way to save lives and end this pandemic.”
Earlier this week, President Joe Biden and White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced a plan to send teams door-to-door to provide information about vaccines in areas with relatively low vaccination rates.
The president pledged to “go community by community … and oftentimes door to door, literally knocking on doors” in an effort to get people vaccinated. This drew anger from Republican lawmakers, who argued that the government doesn’t have the right to know who is or isn’t vaccinated.
“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) wrote on Twitter. “In 2021, the nine most terrifying words in the English language: ‘I’m from the government, have you been vaccinated yet?’” wrote Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).
Other Republicans made even worse predictions.
“Door to door to vaccinate Americans this year… door to door to confiscate guns next year?” asked Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Twitter.
Both Biden and Psaki, during their respective press conferences Tuesday, provided few details about the door-to-door outreach program. It’s not clear when the program will start, if the outreach teams will ask questions, or how long it will last.
The plan is part of the government’s COVID-19 response after the White House fell short of its self-imposed July 4 deadline to get 70 percent of American adults at least one vaccination shot. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 67 percent of American adults have received at least one shot, and more than 157 million people are fully vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccines have become a flashpoint in the current culture wars. Some have argued that vaccine passport-type systems would imperil civil liberties and violate the landmark 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA.
Well, this ought to give him the warm fuzzies then.
This A$$wipe started walking his statements back, saying they were “wildly taken out if context.”
Fu*k you Becerra!
I hate F-ing Marxists!
Well, he’s the big prick.
Or if you voted for Trump.
Not by me or anyone else with a brain.
What about the “government’s right to know who is HIV+”, etc.? Must be right next to the abortion-penumbra...
It’s the government’s right to know who has an abortion? Government pays for that a good portion of the time. Government’s right to know who is on birth control? Feds pay for that a good portion of the time. Etc.
Time to dox this POS.
The left, the Communists, have been slowly but steadily filling all the positions of power they can over the years. That’s why they were ready to pounce like magic when the Covid gave them the opportunity. Their cells and groups of activists have not been idle. It would not surprise me to find out that China was fully engaged in this attempt to overthrow the USA too. Ask yourself who benefits?
I don’t see Becerra saying a damn thing about the millions of illegal aliens crashing our borders....mo masks, no COVID tests, no vaccinations forced on them, etc.
If there really is a spike it will be because of Biden’s open borders policy.
I’m waiting for Becerra to say something. All I hear is the sound of crickets.
Yet another disaster appointed by the Commander-in-Thief.
I heard the words come out of the piehole of this POS. He said “ he wanted people to FEEL that they had a choice to take the vax”.
FEEL they have a choice. Truth is they do not have a choice because this criminal plans to force it on people or else they will be killed.
America is the new home of fear and anxiety and suicide.
So what was the official medical determination as the cause of the miscarriage?
Taken out of context?
The hell they were.
How very sad!
No matter the cause, miscarriage and stillbirth are heartbreaking.
My Remington 870P strongly disagrees.
I was in conversation with my daughter about her pregnancy which came at great expense (the details I won’t bore you with). She cannot eat foods that are most likely to have Listeria:
+ Unpasteurized milk and foods made with it. If milk is pasteurized, it’s been heated to kill germs. Look for the word “pasteurized” on the label.
+ Soft cheeses, like feta, Brie, Camembert, Roquefort and Mexican-style cheeses, like queso fresco, queso blanco, Panela and Asadero
+ Deli meat, hot dogs, juice from hot dogs and dry sausages that are chilled or at room temperature
+ Unwashed fruits, vegetables or sprouts
+ Cold salads from delis or salad bars
+ Refrigerated patés or meat spreads (Canned meat spreads are safe.)
+ Refrigerated smoked seafood, including nova-style, lox, kippered, smoked and jerky
That is because of the chance of catching a food borne disease. The major one, Listeriosis, is a food poisoning caused by the Listeria bacteria. During pregnancy, you can pass the bacteria to your baby. This can cause problems, including:
+ Miscarriage. This is when a baby dies in the womb before 20 weeks of pregnancy.
+ Stillbirth. This is when a baby dies in the womb after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
+ Preterm labor and premature birth. These are labor and birth that happen too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Babies born prematurely may have health problems and birth defects later in life.
Are you sure this woman didn’t have Listeria?
In another post I compared the plague as the Sword of Damocles hanging over our head. It is this sword that China created.
It is only a matter of time I fear before this place is shut down.
That book should be required reading in highschools.
