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

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.”

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

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