As Politico reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p><em>Biden allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages. The goal is to ensure that people who may have difficulty getting a vaccination because of issues like transportation see those barriers lessened or removed entirely.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The White House said Tuesday that it intended to adopt a \u201cdoor-to-door\u201d vaccination awareness strategy, an announcement that raised alarm among many that the federal government was tapping into private medical records and sending federal agents to the homes of the unvaccinated. The White House has since clarified its operation, saying that it targets communities where vaccination rates are low and uses local \u201ctrusted messengers,\u201d not federal agents. Psaki has denied having access to private medical records.<\/p>\n<p>Critics have hammered the White House over the plan. Psaki has accused critics of spreading \u201cinaccurate disinformation\u201d about the White House\u2019s strategy and appeared to push companies to take action against such messaging.<\/p>\n<p>In a Friday press conference, White House press secretary Jen Psaki <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/press-briefings\/2021\/07\/09\/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-july-9-2021\/\">called<\/a> the dissemination of \u201cdisinformation\u201d a \u201cdisservice to the country.\u201d \u201cThe failure to provide accurate public health information, including the efficacy of vaccines and the accessibility of them to people across the country \u2026 is literally killing people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Politico report cited several instances in which mass messaging services and media platforms were used to amplify messages from GOP politicians or pundits. One conservative group, focusing on college and university campuses, has reportedly used SMS services to push out petitions for its supporters to sign. In one such message, Politico noted, the group used SMS to ask followers to sign a petition blasting the administration\u2019s \u201cdoor-to-door\u201d vaccine program: \u201cBiden is sending goons DOOR-TO-DOOR to make you take a Covid-19 vaccine. Sign the petition to: No medical raids in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Missouri Governor Mike Parson also slammed Biden\u2019s vaccination campaign strategy in a tweet last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have directed our health department to let the federal government know that sending government employees or agents door-to-door to compel vaccination would NOT be an effective OR a welcome strategy in Missouri!\u201d Parson <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovParsonMO\/status\/1412936318850580481\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to offer convenient vaccination options to all Missourians for those who want a COVID-19 vaccine. Teresa and I both have received the COVID-19 vaccine, and we encourage anyone age 12 and up to get vaccinated to protect themselves and those around them,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>White House COVID response director Jeff Zients responded to Parson\u2019s criticism during a press conference, saying, \u201cOrganizations that are feeding misinformation and trying to mischaracterize this type of trusted-messenger work, I believe you are doing a disservice to the country and to the doctors, the faith leaders, community leaders, and others who are working to get people vaccinated, save lives, and help end this pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
