Conservative activist Nancy Thorner wants those who may come face to face on their property with a government agent urging them to get the COVID vaccination to know their rights.

“It’s important to those who wish to protect their privacy and property,” Thorner posted on the Lake County Republicans Facebook page.  

In the wake of President Joe Biden’s goal of seeing at least 70 percent of all Americans vaccinated by July 4, the administration is pushing canvassers to go door-to-door to promote the vaccine.

 “Now we need to go community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and often times door-to-door — literally knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus,” Biden said.

Thorner said she became alarmed about the government’s door-to-door campaign when she realized it had hit the Lake County area.

As far back as in early July, the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center sent out a notice alerting residents in the area that canvassers were taking part in an information campaign to promote the COVID-19 vaccination.

Some conservatives worry the data collected from such actions could be used to target more than just the unvaccinated.

“Think about the mechanisms they would have to build to be able to actually execute that massive of a thing,” U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) recently told the New York Post. “And then think about what those mechanisms could be used for. They could then go door-to-door and take your guns, they could go door-to-door and take your Bibles.”
