Thousands of people hired by the State of California are out knocking on doors asking residents if they’ve been vaccinated. The goal is to target the “vaccine hesitant” and to get as many Californians vaccinated as possible, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Press play to hear a narrated version of this story, presented by AudioHopper.
This feels rather authoritarian – and a HIPAA violation.
The state is paying $10 million to fund the effort, “which is being led by Healthy Future California and UCLA, in partnership with 70 community-based organizations.”
Healthy Future California is a California Domestic Non-Profit Corporation filed On April 1, 2021. The company’s filing status is listed as Active and its File Number is C4727729. This is weird – Healthy Future California was just created last month?
According to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office, they’ve hired 2,000 people “to make peer-to-peer appeals and provide support to help overcome barriers to vaccinations.”
There are no “barriers” to vaccinations, only people who don’t want to take the vaccine.
These door-to-door vax checks are taking place in Alameda, Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Merced, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Sacramento, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura counties.
34,804,886 total vaccines have been administered in California.
In California, 39% of residents are fully vaccinated, while another 12% are partially vaccinated, according to the California Department of Public Health. Public health officials have said that at least 70% of the population must be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity.
There are reports that 40-50% of health care workers are not taking the vaccine, along with an 40-50% of teachers, and even 40-50% employees at the CDC.
According to the Bee:
Veronica Carrizales, with Healthy Future California, said that community-based organizations are hiring people from the targeted communities to reach out to those very same communities.
Canvassers have so far knocked on more than 231,000 doors, completed more than 1.3 million calls, and have made 13,000 appointments, according to Carrizales.
“For the most part, people are happy to see us at their doors,” Carrizales said.
Really? I seriously doubt that.

They just may coming knocking at my door and if they do they will get a lecture about coercion and my rights.
My turn to be “Karen”.
Another waste of taxpayer money.
Those that wanted the emergency use shot got it.
Nothing like peer pressure to push you into something you do not want to do!
Sick!
Amen, Cali Girl....We need to change this state to RED!! It used to be a Conservative run state; I know there are lots of conservatives still in this state.
It still IS Red! The only reason we have commies running things is bc of voter fraud! All coming to a head, very very soon! ????????????????????????
Aunt Sam, CA is not red. It's light blue. It's not like back in the 90's. The reason so is Latinos consist of 40% of the population and don't like the rhetoric pushed by Republicans dating back to Prop 187. Not to mention, that some Republicans moved away as taxes went up for businesses and taxpayers.
Somehow all the Hispanics I live near and work with consider themselves conservative republicans.
Commies and voter fraud. ???? Don't forget the evil plots to fluoridate the drinking water and spoil our purity of essense... ????????
Agree with you and Cali. Are they going to visit all the hospitals and peer pressure the nurses who opted not to take the vaccine? I think not but non medical workers should have the same consideration.
Your right let’s saturate calif with illegal immigrants and home and “O” Jack you can pitch a tent down on Main Street and pull weeds for a living. And by the way all the violent criminals will have been released by Gascon! You are pathetic Jack.
Yes to Jack and Cali Girl!
100% agree with you Caligirl. First, we don't open our door to solicitors of any kind, Second, I will let them know I already had Covid and actually have the antibodies according to my medical work up so DO NOT need the "Vaccine". 3rd, it is none of their business in any shape way or form....period!
YES !!!
Agreed! They’ll be in for a very rude awakening if they dare knock on my door.
I seriously doubt also that people are for the most part happy to see these brown shirts at their door. The Right in this country needs to rise up and eliminate the fascist left.
Agree, Jack.
I have several friends and family members that have taken the shot and they too will tell them it is none of their business.
Welcome to Calizeula!
???? ????
I will not take that evil needle.
I won't take the death shot either!!!
???? ???? the evil needle! Good one ????
Thanks for not allowing my several comments, californiaglobe.
That's it.................... Go FUCK YOURSELVES. I HAD YOUR SITE AS A "FAVORITE" NOW, I HOPE YOUR F'G ENTERPRISE ENDS IN DISASTER. GO FIND A BRIDGE AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION, YOU F'G PUKES.
Why are you going ballistic on the site? They are simply reporting that this is happening. You should be going ballistic for the government overreach. We live in a free country where a mantra has been “ my body, my choice” but does that only apply when you are opting for an abortion? I guess this is going to be a new evolution...survival of the smartest.
He’s upset because they removed some of his comments.

You should take all three vaccines if you wish, and go to watch CNN that will make you happy.
Typical liberal response - attack with anger and profanity instead of having a single smart comment to say.
You are a waste of oxygen. How sad for your parents.
Jack: You dumb ignorant illiterate! Whatever you say to people, that exactly will happen to you in hell! Idiot illiterate!
Will they be wearing brown shirts?
First, the COVID19 “vaccine” is not approved by the FDA and only received emergency use FDA authorization. The COVID19 “vaccine” testing is still ongoing. You are required to sign a consent form and a release of liability form to receive a COVID19 “vaccine.” https://principia-scientific.com/have-you-actually-read-a-covid19-vaccine-consent-form-yet/?fbclid=IwAR3lgpK152gzwIX9-IgeLYFlyQShPTagTL2a9q96OFDBerrA-nGfreL-128 I suggest anyone considering taking this mRNA vaccine do a lot of reading about them and you can start here. https://horizon-magazine.eu/article/five-things-you-need-know-about-mrna-vaccines.html
Infiltrate and sabotage. Take your money back.
CA has turned into Nazi Germany
Out of 1,531,000 contacts, they made 13,000 appointments (.85%) that probably were not kept! The appointments were probably agreed to so the harassed individual could get off the phone. What a waste of money and invasion of privacy. My question is, WHY/HOW is my personal health information floating around all over CA and given to random individuals knocking on doors?? Next question, are they handing out information on the cons of getting this vaccine to make an informed decision? I bet NOT! Those who want the vaccine can get it anywhere, anytime, no lines, no appointment, no cash. Why spend 10 million more dollars? When more than half of healthcare providers decline the experimental, not needed shot---here's your sign!
Exactly @Stacy.
They must have many freezers with overstock of the experimental “vaccine”.
