Explaining how she avoids shots if she can, Harrison emphatically denied receiving the vaccine, saying, \u201cYou know it does other things!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like needles either,\u201d Fauci said in response. \u201cI didn\u2019t even feel it. .\u2009.\u2009.

I ain\u2019t getting no shot.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Post went on to note that while some of the people Fauci and Bowser spoke to seemed willing to get the vaccine, for which the city is offering $51 gift cards, some were less than impressed that the pair were making the rounds in poorest part of town.<\/p>\n<p>Tanya Crawford, who said she has no interest in the vaccine, found Bowser\u2019s presence irritating. \u201cWhen the mayor and her staff walked past, Crawford left the Juneteenth feast she was cooking in her kitchen to shout at them from her porch,\u201d the Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe has no presence,\u201d Crawford shouted as Fauci and the mayor walked by with their entourage. \u201cWe never see and hear from her. Now you want to come in the neighborhood, in the hood, and say we gotta get vaccinated?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crawford told the Post that she would prefer if Bowser focused more on preventing black people from losing their homes or the city\u2019s rampant gun violence.
