This seems like a piss poor allocation of resources.

Yes doing extra things costs money. And if we don't have the budget, it's understandable to deprioritize this. But I'm not defending a particular timeline or prioritization, just that it should eventually evolve into that. Like many things in universal healthcare, a bunch of things that should be will take a long time to materialize. We barely have universal dental care... and we don't have the resources to just give it, but we should, eventually.

It kind of works in the opposite direction in this case as he’s an anti vaxxer but would you want a nut like RFK being able to compel you to take medicine you didn’t trust?

Indeed, my worldview is not compatible with being prepared for deranged individuals rising to power like it's happening in the US, which is one of the major reasons I consciously discarded the US as a place to live.

Okay, so now we’re back to interviews

I don't know what you get out of being like this. It's so tiring to talk to someone who is actively seeking the extreme interpretations of my words. So I'm just going to say it one last time and then I'll block you - unfortunately that's the most effective method I have to take care of myself in this kind of forum.

A pitch is the literal opposite of an interview, and the point of having supervision to fill the form is not to treat it like an interview, but to make sure this person understands the purpose of the process and fills the form in good faith. The personal touch of a community worker is super valuable, specially to someone who has concerns with the campaign. So no, not an interview. Not "back" to interviews because it was never about interviews. Sure it will cost 30 minutes of a government employee, which costs dollars from healthcare, like literally any other outreach and education work regarding immunization.
