CDC still tracks asymptomatic infections in vaccinated people at selected sites around the country. They are not doing large scale screening because the number of positive tests does not justify the expense.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e3.htm

"Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating only those among patients who are hospitalized or die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health significance. CDC will continue to lead studies in multiple U.S. sites to evaluate vaccine effectiveness and collect information on all COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections regardless of clinical status."

Same applied in Special Ed Public Schools. As a 1:1 Para to an unvaccinated child, under HIPPA I had the Right to Know that as did the classroom Teacher for ALL the kids in class. We were prevented under HIPPA from revealing their vaccination status to anyone else; other staff members, or noisy parents.

Of course we had the right to know what child had a food allergy, and could disclose this to others, as a SAFETY factor for this child. Same applied to the students who had seizures for other staff who worked with them.

Don't think you know everything there is to know in other fields not related to your medical profession.
Of course there will be employees with access to medical information who are not "medical professionals". They are still not allowed to reveal that to third parties without patient consent. None of the facilities or schools you worked for would allow you to discuss a child's allergies or seizure disorder with your DH or BFF.

Apparently it doesn't take much to terrify a liberal.
Here's a terrifying vaccine door-knocker:

Vaccine is a yooj boondoggle, it's all about the money and scaring people into submission. It works for the blind.

Yes, how odd that NOBODY worried about packed illegal aliens together with NO TESTING NO VACCINE.

Answer is simple. The left is composed of criminals and criminal types. They love other criminals, they want the police to go away. Then what?

Then we'd get gangs like BLM and antifa and the other CPUSA miscreants "deputized" to "bring order" back. We've seen that sort of order, they wore brown shirts in another era, and "undesirables" were hauled off to meet their cruel fate.

This is the biggest con in history, bigger than the globaloney warming hoax. It's all bout money and power and control.

That's saying something as the people that conduct the Census have a valid by Law mandate in which to do so but Biden does not.


I would not want a visit on this issue even under Trump but he didn't treat us this way so that was unlikely.

You don't have to be unvaccinated to see that sending an army of Karens door-to-door to harass people is a boneheaded move... it's will surely backfire.

Again, have you ever heard of The Declaration of Independence?

How does what I've said make no sense? You really, really think more than 50% of this nation wants the government at their door about vaccines (or anything)??

My comment still stands. No one knows the true percentage of re-infections.

Nope. This is a government job. AA comes first, then other protected classes like transgenders, gays and Muslims.
White people have to get to the back of the line.
