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.
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.
....
Exactly!
They want to piss and moan about Americans going Church, concerts, bars, and BBQ, but not a damn word about our border being flooded with people who haven’t had their precious vaccine!
These idiots can’t keep up with their lies and bull crap!
aww Travid brother, we’re all in this together for the greater good( repeat “for the greater good”echo).
Stay inside, isolate, the vaccine will help you. Nothing wrong with a little mRNA, only two more weeks.
Wear the mask; it does nothing but such a virtue signal to show China we are subservient to their behavioral propaganda. and BTW, a million illegals crashing our border shows such equity. Pay up white boy

Fear God, not mans waltzing with the devil himself.
A pregnant woman gets the injection and loses the baby with symptoms typical of those of side effects of the jab.
You introduce an anecdote of a relative who was warned not to eat seafood. Then announce that the bacterial infection from such seafood, is what led to that woman’s miscarriage.
And then after hours of research, dredge up one (1) paper from the other side of the planet, of a single case, of the bacteria causing ONE of the symptoms this woman had. From NINE YEARS AGO.
And announce that you know better, and the twitter woman’s miscarriage was due to seafood.
Without a scintilla of evidence that she’d ever eaten any of those foods; and without the differential diagnosis of abnormal clotting, which wasn’t present in your paper, nor in the warning given to your (fictitious, as far as I know) relative.
You’ve proven yourself to be an utter liar over and over again.
Get bent.
Well, maybe the loss of a few young, woke college grads will be a welcome side effect of this nonsense.
hey Xavier, up yours pal.
Is this the study you have a problem with?:
Listerosis can cause Chorioamnionitis, an inflammation of the placenta and necrosis in the maternal decidual layer, and can precipitate placental abruption.
Get bent troll.
I already eviscerated your pathetic response.
One case.
In one woman.
On the other side of the planet.
9 years ago.
Differential diagnosis:
Your article doesn’t mention the abnormal clotting which the poor jabbed woman on Twitter had.
The spike protein is KNOWN for abnormal clotting.
And you have no evidence except your own desperate frenzied wishful thinking, that the woman on Twitter ever ate anything with Listeria.
I found this article published in the “Dove Press” entitled, “An Update Review on Listeria Infection in Pregnancy.” It had this statement:
“Since 2004, Listeria infection monitoring across 10 regions of the USA shows that 17% of 760 Listeria infection cases were related to pregnancies, with a 29% incidence rate for fetal loss and neonatal fatalities.63 Improved perinatal outcomes could be related to the development of treatment capacity in neonatology and a better understanding of pregnancy-related listeriosis.
The criticalness of the influence on the fetus changed with the occurrence of maternal clinical presentations. According to a study performed in England and Wales from 1990 to 2010, pregnant women exhibiting symptoms are more likely to give birth to a stillbirth or have spontaneous miscarriage.64 It could be because most pregnant women exhibiting symptoms are in the early or second trimester of pregnancy, or an excessive quantity of Listeria exists in the body. Empirical guinea pig studies have confirmed that it takes nine days from the onset to the death of the fetus.65 The intermediate delay interval indicates that the bacteria need to colonize the placenta before infecting the fetus. In humans, although undiagnosed, LM might invade the placenta and cause intrauterine infection in asymptomatic parturient cases.”
You can read the entire article here:
The association of Chorioamnionitis to Placental Abruption is given in this one of many articles on the subject. It is published by the National Center for Bioitechnology Information. The article, entitled, “Diagnosis and Management of Clinical Chorioamnionitis,” has these words:
“Several other conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chorioamnionitis. In the intrapartum patient with an epidural and low-grade fever without tachycardia (maternal or fetal) or other clinical signs of intrauterine inflammation, epidural-associated fever is a strong consideration. Extrauterine infections can cause fever and abdominal pain, either during or in absence of labor, including urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis), influenza, appendicitis, and pneumonia. Non-infectious conditions associated with abdominal pain (usually in absence of fever) include thrombophlebitis, round ligament pain, colitis, connective tissue disorders and placental abruption.”
What part of
“the woman on Twitter suffered from disseminated intravascular coagulation” in addition to the placental abruption don’t you follow?
