Multiple vaccine incentives are now being offered to those getting vaccinated this month to meet the CDC/President Biden's goal of 70% adult vaccination by July 4th, 2021.

Those vaccinated at CVS pharmacy or by CVS pharmacist @ covid clinic/ SNF,  can enter to win numerous prizes -- including Feb. 2022 Super Bowl Trip!   Of course, they weren't  permitted to give vaccine yet to general public when I or sons  vaccinated in PA --so I'll try their mail-in address per website.  Will need to find a Krispy Creame for my free doughnut (damm the diet)!

Mistakes and errors are quite different from calling the pandemic a scamdemic or a fraud...some posters don't have the critical thinking skills to appreciate that difference.  They generally expose themselves pretty efficiently. 

My point, as it apparently wasn't clear enough, is that information can easily be wrong. One way or another. Someone's fault or not. It can be manipulated, controlled, or just fraudulent. It should be easy to see how people can think the data, with all associated craziness of this pandemic, may be being manipulated. To assume those people don't have critical thinking skills is arrogant. Make your points, provide your CORRECT data, and if they don't change their minds, then good job trying. That's the best part of being American, human, we don't have to agree and that's OK. Although if you don't agree with the last part of the last sentence, you're probably.........................

We all know that errors occur.  We also know that some among us believe and share nonsense about covid and the vaccines.  Perhaps you can't see the nonsense...

LOL, if you can't tell that I can obviously see the nonsense, then you're blind. I can also see and understand how people get to believing that "nonsense". I can and have heard all the nonsense and have come to my own conclusions on the nonsense. 

Just because your nonsense is more acceptable than someone else's doesn't definitively make you right.

In the case of covid nonsense, we know that people believe nonsense because they were gullible and manipulated by their fears and emotions. They make that evident with their own words. 

It’s weird! End of story. Once again, this is NOT about your health. This is about control and compliance. Donuts and junk food as incentives?? Come on, man.

I was responding to this. The world population is counted in billions ? But yes, the U.S. numbers aren’t accurate. Close to 600,000 deaths and about 33 million verified cases are the U.S. stats if I recall correctly. 

Correct, but let’s figure out why. Could it be that we have a high rate of obese citizens in this country compared to other countries. We all know what obesity does to a body (or should) and how Covid affects someone that is already obese. Now we’re offering junk food on top of it to entice people to get this vaccine? Get real!

Is that what you believe? The USA had a bad go with covid 19 because we are a comparatively obese country?  In your view does that explain the overall human toll in this country?

West Virginia is incentivizing vaccination with firearms.

LOL. Really? We had a “bad go?” I’d hate to see what an actual bad time with a bad disease would do. This was nothing. The response did more damage than the disease.

I’m not talking guns, they don’t affect your health. If you think adding junk food onto an already serious disease issue is a good thing, then you may want to rethink your line of work. End of story.

Tell me, which populations were hit the hardest by this disease? The data points to the obese and the elderly. Now you can do your own research into the numbers if you do not believe me.

Wish I lived in West Virginia. I literally told someone the other day I'd get the vaccine if they gave me a Desert Eagle .50. Guess we'll see how far that goes! ?

That's straight up covid nonsense right there. The only thing you got sort of right is that the federal response to covid was a spectacular and costly American failure.

You are talking unhealthy vaccine incentives. 

End of story.
