Rick Scott slams door-to-door vax program as 'intimidation'

[TexasTowelie]

When it comes to vaccines, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott believes door-to-door vaccination status checks are “intimidation.”

The Senator, discussing the Joe Biden administration’s latest attempt to overcome vaccine hesitancy as the COVID-19 delta variant spikes, slammed the federal effort as an affront on privacy and individual sovereignty.

“I thought we were supposed to have privacy over medical records. I mean, isn’t that what we have in this country? HIPAA? I mean, don’t we have some privacy,” said Scott during a Fox News Radio appearance Thursday.

“All this is intimidation of people to go get the vaccine,” Scott maintained.

“Let people make their choices. If I want to have the vaccine, that’s my choice. I mean, I got the vaccine; I believe others should have the vaccine. But if you decide you don’t want to get the vaccine, that’s a decision you have to make.”

3. Privacy over medical records? don't make me laugh. Does that include pregnancy?

I’m all for a little intimidating if it gets people to take the shot

4. Hmmm

That’s what we’re saying about women’s health issues but you have made laws against that but it’s ok to allow anyone to refuse a life saving vaccine b/c they might feel intimidated?? Typical repuke logic coming from a Medicare thief

5. Hmmmm, I guess when it comes to sex and genitalia, this privacy notion of his flies out the window.

What a bunch of BS from Scott, as usual. Republicans are about the most invasive thing walking around.
