Biden admin: 'We're engaged with NASCAR and Country Music TV' to reach unvaccinated White people
[WASHINGTONTIMES] White House press secretary Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama...
 said the Biden administration is currently "engaged with NASCAR and Country Music TV," among multiple other venues, in an effort to reach White conservatives who may be hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

During a press briefing Monday, Ms. Psaki was asked to address a New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 report that said rural states such as Mississippi, Ohio and Oklahoma are seeing a lackluster demand for the vaccine.

Ms. Psaki said the White House was addressing the problem primarily at the local level but that other measures had been taken to "get directly connected to White conservative communities" and meet them "where they are."

"An example is Dr. [Francis] Collins participated in ’The 700 Club,’" she said. "Dr. [Marcella] Nunez-Smith hosted a faith leaders roundtable. We’ve run PSAs on ’The Deadliest Catch.’ We’re engaged with NASCAR and Country Music TV."

Ms. Psaki touted the president’s newly launched Community Corps, which she said now includes more than 4,000 organizations across the country to promote COVID-19 vaccines in at-risk communities.

"We’re also investing $3 billion to states and community-based organizations to strengthen vaccine confidence in the highest-risk and hardest-hit communities," she said. "And often, people think of that as just Black and brown communities, and that is not. As you’ve noted, that is also conservative communities, White evangelicals. It’s a range of communities around the country.

"What we’ve found to be most effective is to work with these local organizations — so, faith-based organizations, community health organizations, civic leaders, and others who can really get this message deeply in communities," she said.

The White House’s apparent generalization of conservative White people sparked ridicule on social media.

#12 N.Y state up to midnight closing in bars next week but..
Outdoor auto and horse races will also be permitted to open to fans at 20 percent capacity on April 23, he said.

Spectators will be required to wear a mask, and to provide proof of a negative test or completed vaccinations, Cuomo said.

#13 Perhaps if they'd given Trump the credit he was due for getting the vaccine out so quickly the Trump fans would have jumped at getting the vaccine.

Instead the Biden folks tried some easily disproved lies to take credit while bashing Trump and called it unifying.

#14 CMTV? Nobody listens to Cardi Banjo except pre-teen girls who think having a stable of 20 horses is living country.

The ad campaign here is the slur that only Deliverance People would want to avoid the shot.

#15 The hilarious thing here is Psaki, our national village idiot, speaking down to us po' rednecks. Could she pass a high school biology test?

#16 Yet another proof of systemic racism. Last I looked, Covid vaccine resistance was higher among African-Americans than among those of a pale complexion, and yet the Harris-Biden administration is not talking about a special outreach to them — clearly neither VP Harris nor P Biden cares about the higher rate of illness and death among the Black population.

The same argument holds for the higher rate of abortions among Blacks as well, for those who are for it.

#17 Their job would be easier if they had not spent the last year saying it was completely unpossible for Trump to come up with a vaccine in a year's time, and even if he did, there was no way they would take a vaccine Donald Trump developed - as if he was making the stuff with his Gilbert chem lab in the White House basement.
