Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton insisted on Newsmax Thursday that President Joe Biden's call for a "door-to-door" COVID-19 vaccination drive won't be happening in his state, because the "last thing" the state needs is for the federal government checking in on them.
"It should be completely up to individuals to decide what their own personal risks are, what their health situation is, and the fact that the government might know whether you've been vaccinated is disturbing," Paxton said on Newsmax's "National Report." "From a privacy standpoint, the last thing we want the government to know about his our personal health information."
White House press secretary Jen Psaki, while commenting on the plan, said the administration wants to make sure Americans have the information on the safety and accessibility of the vaccine but also said that the federal government's goal is to protect Americans but that it is still up to individuals to decide if they'll get their shots.
Meanwhile, Paxton said his office is looking at legal action through the courts to stop people from going door-to-door over the vaccines.
"We're definitely going to be looking at our opportunities in court to stop them from going door to door and then we're also going to get into the whole issue of what information do they have about us?" said Paxton.
He added that in Texas, he doesn't think there is a lack of access to the vaccine, but rather, "there's more vaccines than there are takers. Initially of course, when the vaccine first came out, there was a lineup and they went by age and health issues, but at this point, people can make their own decisions."
Paxton also commented on a recent Washington Post-ABC News survey showing 33% of respondents approve of the president's handling of the borders, while 51% disapprove.
"For those Americans who approve of this, they basically are approving of the cartels gaining greater strength because they are having these people are coming across the border, having to pay to get across and pay the cartels thousands of dollars, and then they have a connection to the cartel going forward. In addition, there's more drug-running going on than there ever has been, and it's pretty scary. It's a disaster. It's a crisis. Don't know how people can see it any other way."
You do NOT need the courts. Using them only legitimizes their over reach.
Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution does not give the Feds this power. Therefore, all a State needs to do is say NO.
The Feds derive their power from the States. They are INFERIOR to the States. When the Feds decide to do something that is NOT in their power you simply need to say NO and tell them you will prosecute any who follow this criminal over-reach.
So many people STILL do not know how our government works... what will it take for people to understand that States have all the power... and that Counties have a lot of power within the States.
Look at the AZ audit. It is not the AZ audit - it is a forensic audit of ballots in Maricopa County... just one populous County in AZ. Yet many mistakenly believe it is the entire State of AZ conducting the forensic audit.
The education system in the US has totally sucked for decades... and the complete ignorance of so many people proves that fact.
What about individual citizens in California? Our leaders here welcome the cabal. How do individuals in this state stop what our leaders refuse to stop especially if we face violence from acts of war by the fema a-holes being sent to every city to knock on doors....nothing suggests they won't escalate the unconstitutional acts by forcing and killing us like Mike Adams says. After all, the coup and cabal don't care that we have a Constitution.
Exactly. Sad (pathetic) that an ATTORNEY GENERAL with years of government experience didn't have the knowledge of, or presence of mind to research how, our government works before making a public statement on the issue.
The public's - AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS' - lack of that knowledge, and lack of attention to how the government is being run, are partially to blame for how our country has gotten itself into the mess it's currently in.
"A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny."
Edward Snowden told us years ago the NSA collects EVERY electronic communications and saves it. Supposedly it's protected from unauthorized searches but of course it's not. This huge database is a treasure trove of information that's routinely used to target and neutralize any opposition.
Similar is inviting them. Let me tell you something. There is no public official safe if they violate their Oaths. If you violate it, you vacate you post and do not enjoy the protections as little as theybare if your office. Also, my neighborhood is full of based cops, firemen and military and we already have decided it won't be fun for any prowler in our neighborhood.
Mike Adams of health ranger said paxi said they will come to find unvaxxed then eventually put us in fema camps and kill us (from blue/ca) states if we refuse. Can anyone comment?
I listen to Mike when I want to hear the worst of it however he is all Doom right now and yes he could be right. However I am here and yes I’m Optimistic about our future while it’s important to get prospective from a variety of viewpoints be careful who you follow. That said there is nothing wrong with listening and drawing your own conclusions.
God Bless Texas!!!

DeSantis needs to take the same stance in FL
I know Brian kemp won’t do a damn thing about it

This I think is the meatiest part. It kinda sounds like they are going to investigate HIPAA violations and that could be quite the rabbit hole.

Thank you. I feel like I must be prepared to go on the run with my God protecting me.
I hope RINO DeWine in Ohio asks the Ohio Legislature to ban this infringement.
