Getting Paid For The Vaccine

[Moderate Right]

A lot of Americans are leery about getting the vaccine. How many would change their minds if the government actually paid them to get vaccinated? And, should the government do it? Why or why not?

Pay people $1,000 to take coronavirus vaccine and avoid 'a lot of angst': Economist

What do you think?

I think it's a dumb idea.

Either way I'm getting vaccinated.

Why? People need help right now anyway. Two birds with one stone.

Pass another stimulus bill to help people. A vaccine bribe is not a good idea.

Rogue, I don't know why, but the way you said that reminded me of this cartoon . . .

When it becomes available for me, I will get the vaccine. I don't need to be paid. I didn't need the stimulus check. Used it to help out my daughter.

I will just wait until places like Emory, the Cleveland Clinic, etc recommend it. Then I will take it.

My girlfriend has an issue with her blood vessels though and wanted to wait until her specialists recommends it (and which specific vaccine since they will all have slightly different properties.), which is a great idea for someone in her situation.

Two birds, one stone. If we're going to give out free money to people, a lot of whom don't even need it that much, we might as well get something for it.

Why wouldn't it be a good idea? It IS two birds with one stone. Get a vaccination, get a stimulus check.

It smells of extortion.
