The reality is that anyone who wants a vaccine has has one by now. They don’t need government postcards or federal jackboots hounding them at their door.
People need to be pushed to take the vaccine for the societal safety. Covid19 is a credible threat to others and society stability, so partisan games and propaganda are to be rejected.
Mitch must be so proud of his home state...
The Tennessee Department of Health will halt all adolescent vaccine outreach – not just for coronavirus, but all diseases – amid pressure from Republican state lawmakers, according to an internal report and agency emails obtained by the Tennessean. If the health department must issue any information about vaccines, staff are instructed to strip the agency logo off the documents.
The health department will also stop all COVID-19 vaccine events on school property, despite holding at least one such event this month. The decisions to end vaccine outreach and school events come directly from Health Commissioner Dr. Lisa Piercey, the internal report states.
Additionally, the health department will take steps to ensure it no longer sends postcards or other notices reminding teenagers to get their second dose of the coronavirus vaccines. Postcards will still be sent to adults, but teens will be excluded from the mailing list so the postcards are not “potentially interpreted as solicitation to minors,” the report states.
Tennessee abandons vaccine outreach to minors — not just for COVID-19

LOL. First you tell me the state of Tennessee didn't do anything, so who cares. Then when that was obviously ignorant BS, you moved the goal posts and said the reminders were worthless, but the free market knows they aren't. Then you claim that states don't need to do anything, like provide vaccines at local schools, that we ended in Tennessee because morons are in charge, because yours didn't, if you forget about the mass vaccination clinics put on by your state!
Amazing how that works. Ohio and other states find that an "all of the above" approach works BEST! Who could have guessed it but everyone!??!!
It’s worse than that.Mitch must be so proud of his home state...

Right!! FREEDUM lovers in Ohio didn't need no stinkin government, if you ignore the many MASS VACCINATION CLINICS sponsored by the state of Ohio!!!
And it won't surprise you at all that the state of Ohio was massively involved in distributing vaccines in the state. Took me a minute or so to figure this out, because the State of Ohio and the Gov. are proud of their STATE efforts to get people vaccinated.
I was vaccinated in a state sponsored drive-thru clinic in Ohio. My Dr wasn't seeing patients directly, so the fastest way to get the vaccine was a drive-thru clinic at the hospital they are affiliated with.
No, you just misread what I said. Factually, the way it worked here is the State announced that residents between a certain age range were eligible for vaccination. Then it was up to you to find and set up an appointment. What that meant was it’s your turn to scour the internet every day for available times at a CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Giant Eagle, local family run pharmacy, your doctor, etc. Mine ended up being at a church an hour south of here and administered by a private healthcare provider.LOL. First you tell me the state of Tennessee didn't do anything, so who cares.

You don't even know what your own state is doing. Pretty funny actually. It's just a bucket of fail all around for you in this thread. You might want to quit digging. Or not. I'm getting good laugh at your posts, so that's a bonus!

You're just lying or ignorant about what's available in your state. There's a website that you can put in your zip code, and find a place with times available and book that time. No need to 'scour' the internet - it's a one stop STATE-run website to make this step unnecessary.
I don't know why you're so eager to prove one of three things 1) you are lying, or 2) are ignorant, or 3) both, all to make some stupid defense of what the wingnuts did in in Tennessee. And you can't keep your excuses straight.
1) I never said that. I said Ohio never sent out postcards and it didn’t. You’re just embarrassing yourself by claiming I was talking about Tennessee.You're just lying or ignorant about what's available in your state. There's a website that you can put in your zip code, and find a place with times available and book that time.

And the STATE held a bunch of MASS VACCINATION CLINICS across the state, had mobile vaccination clinics, and has a website that's a one-stop shop to get an appointment across a number of public and private vaccine providers. So the state was very involved from the beginning in holding people's hands, and it's because non-morons know making things easy increases how many people do those things. It's why doctors send you reminders, because prodding works. Etc.....

1) The State of Tennessee didn't do vaccines or send out info or postcards!!!!
2) Oh, well, sure they did do all that and more, but the many vaccines the state DID administer didn't matter because free markets, and also reminders are useless, although the free market knows better than you and sends me a half dozen reminders for every appointment, because in the real world people forget, get busy, don't do what they are supposed to do when it comes to public health. Our vet sends us postcards to remind us to keep our dogs up to date on vaccines. My HVAC guy sends reminders. Dentist. Specialist. Volunteer coordinator. These are all necessary but one reminding people of the second shot are NOT!!
3) Ohio didn't do any of that, so when Tennessee ended those efforts it didn't matter because Ohio left you guys to fend for yourself.
4) Except for the MASS VACCINATION CLINICS the STATE held all across Ohio and the vaccines still being administered by local governments, and much more, etc..... - you pretend those didn't exist and don't still exist, when 1 minute on the Google proves you are wrong.
Why are you doing this? The wingnuts are running the healthcare show in Tennessee and it's stupid as hell, reckless, and has nothing to do with public health but instead with stroking the egos of idiots Q's and MAGAs who have believed a bunch of garbage being peddled to them by liars and idiots.
Sorry if i don't believe you about whether "Ohio" sent out postcards, since you're obviously clueless about what your state did. All your statement means, if that much, is YOU didn't get a postcard from the state, so therefore no one did, apparently. Furthermore, if someone else sent out the reminders, why does that matter? The State of Tennessee was doing that, now they are not sending them to minors, but there's no provision in place to transfer that responsibility to anyone else. So the reminders you know and I know are useful, because I know and you know you get reminders all the time from the private sector, need to be sent by someone.
And if the state administered the vaccine, and in TN the state vaccinated 100s of thousands at least, who in the private sector sends out the reminders for that second shot? Does it just magically get done?
Neat how you make ignorant or dishonest statements, then walk them back using weasel words like "primarily" and "most" which are both evidence free assertions, AND are new goal posts entirely, since I never made any claim in Ohio or Tennessee about "most" or "primarily."
This is all just chicken little BS. If people want to be vaccinated then they can do that without hand holding from the State.
I guess in a thread about what Tennessee did, you moved the goal posts to make a claim about what the "State" did in Ohio, and you're lying about that. The "State" was very involved in Ohio, as I've shown, for starters sponsoring and/or running many "MASS VACCINATION CLINICS", mobile vaccination clinics, and more, and they are still involved with local governments providing vaccines, and through state efforts to streamline getting appointments for vaccines, as we speak.
No, I pointed out what Ohio did as an example of why Tennessee residents don’t need government handholding. The “State” was not “very involved” in Ohio. It was a free for all for Ohio residents to find and set up their own appointments with private sector providers based on age eligibility. If people in Tennessee wanted the vaccine they’d have it by now.
You'd have been better off sticking with that drivel. Instead you tried to rationalize that worthless opinion, backed by nothing, by making a series of dumb, false statements about what the 'state' did or didn't do in Tennessee and Ohio.
I don’t know why a Tennessean is coming in here calling any argument dumb while flailing around saying you need mommy State to tell you what to do.
You lied, or are willfully ignorant, about what Ohio did. I'll leave it there.
