My guy...people were told they weren't allowed to attend church in person for several months...this was last year. And your ass is on here like, "dum dee dum, have you guys heard about when they used to ration silk, that must have been bad." The government intrusion is here now, in 2021. WAKE UP!

lol. Some people are out of touch with what's really going on. If the elderly needs help they can call on a neighbor, friend, family member to drive them to the local CVS. We don't need the government going door to door. They have other intentions...believe me.


Also who is to say imposters go to the homes of the elderly and pretend to be government officials and then rob them. It's too dangerous to do what they are doing on many levels.

Do you guys get diarrhea when the Jehova Witnesses knock on your door ?
With them, anything that isn't by Trump is a paranoid conspiracy designed to destroy America and a threat to their very existence.

Some elderly are all alone as well as some impoverished people with no means of getting to CVS...door to door will help in some instances...

This should be good. What are the other intentions do they have? To depopulate?

Covid itself did a good job of that with 600k dead.

I think the person who replied to my post was referring to the quote from the NEWS link, not the video. To repeat, YES, they are armed and will give injections "on the spot". To repeat the link and quote:

https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/he...0-a70a20f7491a

From the above link (and PLEASE watch the video!):

QUOTE, my italics:

"Community outreach groups have been canvassing certain neighborhoods for a few months now, educating and encouraging people to get vaccinated. On Monday, health department workers armed with COVID-19 vaccines joined to make it easy and convenient to get a shot right at home.

“Now that the health department is actually coming out with us, we miss that middle step. Now, would you like to get a shot? Yes. We've got somebody right here on site,” Dawkins said."
END QUOTE

And to just ADD to what I posted before and to reply to another poster, what I am ALSO concerned about (and what I posted before) was a concern for the very elderly and/or "intelligence challenged" who could be coerced into taking an injection about which they truly did not understand all the possible risks.

Please note that I am NOT saying that I know what those risks actually are, however -- which is why I personally have chosen not to take it along with the FACT that the CDC has repeatedly lied and the fact that there is no long-term history. All this "You MUST take the vaccine" kind of talk is only making me even more wary than I was back in December when the vaccines were just announced.

And to all those who are trying to bully and/or guilt us COVID vaccine resisters -- NEWSFLASH -- you are NOT helping your cause by using those kind of tactics!

Sorry, but that is without doubt the most ridiculous argument I have heard. Rationing and making sacrifices that do not put one's life or health at risk is in NO WAY comparable to making sacrifices like reducing the use of gas, silk, rubber, and sugar! Really, I know you can come up with a better argument that that!

Which is why they don’t need people going door to door, they made sure that the vaccines are available.
