This all sounds like a giant bluff to scare people into getting vaccines. It seems like Biden wants to reach his promise to vaccinate a certian percent of people. Maybe he doesn't want more egg on his face or maybe there is some higher power telling biden he needs to do x y and z or else.
How would they know who hasn't taken a shot?
If they don't have that information then they would need to just door to door every one; that's going to take a lot of money. Where is this money and resources coming from?
The money is coming from Biden's stimulus (I believe I'd heard it was $8 billion to market the vaccine) and will likely flow through health depts, down to community-based organizations for the outreach.
You're correct. . .the govt. won't know if you've been vaxxed or not for quite a while. Vaccine administration is very de-centralized, and data collation is probably is in a state of chaos right now. Looking at the data collection form that was posted here a few days ago, it seems as though they mainly want to collect info on people do do additional vaxx contacts on. It's really just a glorified survey, probably with crappy data collection techniques.
Scare tactics to break people down. I also think that, if people become provoked by these contacts, it will become dramatic clips for the nightly news. (Just like the anti-maskers on airlines and in stores.)
If these people are not from a public health agency that is legitimately performing activities to actually mitigate and stop the spread of a disease as defined under the exemption clauses of HIPAA with regards to a situation in which protected health information (PHI) can be disclosed without the prior written consent of an individual patient, then this is a violation of HIPAA.
