Earlier this week, US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra raised some eyebrows after
declaring that it’s
“absolutely the government’s business” to know whether or not citizens have been vaccinated against Covid-19. He insisted that
“knocking on a door has never been against the law” and
“it is our business” to make sure Americans can
“prosper” and
“freely associate” by getting inoculated against Covid-19.
“Now we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood and, oftentimes, door to door – literally knocking on doors – to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus,” Biden told reporters on Tuesday, separately adding that coronavirus
“surge response teams” would also be mobilized to combat new outbreaks among the unvaccinated.
