The subject was the President&#8217;s latest initiative to save American lives by promoting the safety, effectiveness, and availability of vaccines. Fox News and the Republican Party of Death have already been <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49971\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">maligning this initiative<\/a><\/strong>, with some characterizing it as a Nazi-style infringement on freedom. And in the spirit of that insanity, Kilmeade said to&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Ask yourself if you have a problem with this. They&#8217;re gonna knock on your door. They&#8217;re gonna demand that you take it. And they&#8217;re gonna give you a third shot.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kilmeade continues his crusade against the Biden administration for wanting to get people vaccinated: &quot;It&#39;s unbelievable how offensive this admin is getting with a pandemic that is clearly on the run &#8230; This admin is panicking and they are infiltrating our lives&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FCRJZnXPCI\">pic.twitter.com\/FCRJZnXPCI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lis Power (@LisPower1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LisPower1\/status\/1413479728527253506?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Of course, none of that has even a passing resemblance to the truth. Nevertheless, Kilmeade went on to rant that <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s unbelievable how offensive his administration is getting with a pandemic that is clearly on the run.&#8221;<\/em> Apparently Kilmeade hasn&#8217;t heard that the Delta variant of the virus is surging in (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/policy-watch\/the-red-blue-divide-in-covid-19-vaccination-rates-is-growing\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mostly Trump<\/a><\/strong>) parts of the country. For the first time in months the infection and hospitalization rates are going up.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a rare display of honesty, another Fox News anchor delivered some factual information about the Biden outreach program. Gillian Turner interviewed Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen and presented him with what the program is actually doing. Thiessen, however, wasn&#8217;t moved:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Turner:<\/strong> In the Biden administration&#8217;s defense, they&#8217;re insisting with this door-to-door strategy they&#8217;re not showing up with needles. They&#8217;re not showing up with shots. Nothing is happening on your front doorstep in front of your neighbors. They are not gonna come jab you. But what they are trying to do is get information to you. They are trying to make sure that you know these shots are free, that you are eligible, where you can go to get one. It&#8217;s an information sharing operation, they say. Does that assuage some of your concern at all, or not really?<br \/>\n<strong>Thiessen:<\/strong> Not really. I don&#8217;t want people showing up on my doorstep before knowing my vaccine history.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen complains that Trump wasn&#39;t included in the PSA featuring the other living former presidents promoting the vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Why would you not include Donald Trump in that public service ad?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In what world was Trump ever going to participate? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sCPNPrcge2\">pic.twitter.com\/sCPNPrcge2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinbaragona\/status\/1413520027010088971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Turner made some excellent points, putting the program&#8217;s mission into the proper context. So expect Fox News to make her disappear for a few weeks while she is undergoing reeducation. As for Thiessen, what the heck is he talking about? Does he want people to get his vaccine history before showing up on his doorstep? To be clear, the outreach program will not collect information about people&#8217;s vaccination status. It will be targeting geographic areas that are known to have low vaccination rates. And no one will be required to get a shot, or even listen to the volunteers in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Thiessen went on to complain that Trump wasn&#8217;t included in a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eCza6UGmRTk\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">public service ad<\/a><\/strong> that featured all of the living former presidents promoting the vaccine. He implies that Trump was deliberately left out. There is, however, no proof of that. In fact, it was Trump who demonstrated his disinterest in promoting the vaccine (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49385\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">that he nevertheless claims credit for<\/a><\/strong>) by getting vaccinated secretly in January and not disclosing it until weeks after he left office.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump has declined all previous attempts to appear with the other former presidents. And when asked about his non-participation in this ad, Trump repeatedly refused to respond. That doesn&#8217;t sound like he was left out. Were that the case he would be whining about it ceaselessly and complaining about how mean everyone is to him.<\/p>\n<p>Thiessen concedes that it is Trump country that is lagging in vaccinations. So he wonders why the Biden administration doesn&#8217;t recruit Trump to]<em>&#8220;go to Mississippi and do a public service ad, or do something out there telling people to get vaccinated.&#8221;<\/em> As if Trump would do anything at the request of the President that he has been yammering about for months, saying that he isn&#8217;t really the President. Turner reminds Thiessen that Trump <em>&#8220;could also do that on his own&#8221;<\/em> and that he doesn&#8217;t need <em>&#8220;to wait for a formal invitation from the White House.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I hope no one is holding their breath for Trump to visit Mississippi to help their residents get vaccinated and avoid severe illness and death. That would take time away from his golfing and his cult rallies where he pays tribute to himself, insults his critics, and perpetuates the <em>&#8220;Big Lie:<\/em> that the election was stolen from him. And everybody knows that those are his only priorities. He can&#8217;t be bothered with saving lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Press Secretary Jen Psaki makes it abundantly clear what the outreach program is all about:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Psaki just absolutely snapped in response to criticisms from South Carolina Governor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/henrymcmaster?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@henrymcmaster<\/a> on Biden&#39;s invasive door-to-door vaccination tactics:<\/p>\n<p>His criticism &quot;is literally killing people so maybe they should consider that.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/51WKGrigV1\">pic.twitter.com\/51WKGrigV1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bennyjohnson\/status\/1413551326534021122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
