It\u2019s the best way to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from the dangerous new COVID-19 variants. Head to http:\/\/vaccines.gov to find a clinic near you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a joint presser with White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, Rodrigo <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ABC\/status\/1415353809820430340?s=20\">said<\/a>, \u201cI am beyond honored and humbled to be here today to help spread the message about the importance of youth vaccination. I am in awe of the work President Biden and Dr. Fauci have done and was happy to help lend my support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodrigo is the latest star to push the vaccine, joining such notables as Dolly Parton, Whoopi Goldberg, and Christie Brinkley. But according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/05\/01\/health\/vaccinated-celebrities.html\">The New York Times<\/a>, such celebrity promotions aren\u2019t necessarily effective. The outlet investigated in May, concluding that fame doesn\u2019t often equal credibility on medical issues:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21\">\n<p><em>\u201cEpidemiologists say there are plenty of caveats and potential pitfalls \u2014 and little scientific evidence to prove that the endorsements actually boost vaccine uptake.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Very few people actually do give the weight of expertise, for better or worse, to celebrities,\u2019 said Ren\u00e9 F. Najera, an epidemiologist and the editor of the History of Vaccines website, a project of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018There\u2019s some shift there now with social media and social influence in the younger age groups,\u2019 he added. \u201cBut for the most part, we still listen more to our peers than to some figurehead.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As the Daily Wire has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/internet-erupts-after-biden-psaki-push-door-to-door-plan-targeting-unvaccinated-people\">reported<\/a>, the administration failed to reach its goal of 70% of the population vaccinated by July 4. As a result, it has begun employing new methods to combat vaccine hesitancy, including a door-to-door campaign that will see government officials going to homes to encourage Americans to get the shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn today\u2019s briefing we discussed how our administration is going to devote the remainder of the summer to a special focus on five ways to make gains and getting those of you who are unvaccinated vaccinated,\u201d Biden said during a July 6 press conference announcing the home visits. \u201cBecause here\u2019s the deal. We are continuing to wind down the mass vaccination sites that did so much in the spring to rapidly vaccinate those eager to get their first shot and their second shot for that matter if they needed a second. Now we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and oftentimes door to door, literally knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people, protected from the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) criticized the plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanCrenshawTX\/status\/1412506579291738121?s=20\">tweeting<\/a>, \u201cHow about don\u2019t knock on my door. You\u2019re not my parents. You\u2019re the government. Make the vaccine available, and let people be free to choose.
