Governor De Wine offers weekly drawings of $1 million to vaccinated adults and free scholarships for the youth. What do you make of this?

The same reason that masks are not required for full vaccinated individuals. Rewards. Or lack there of. It's a form of psychology.

It's not about rewarding the ones who are vaccinated because they did a good thing (because being vaccinated should be the ultimate reward in itself.. right?) but it's about convincing the ones who are not vaccinated by taking away said rewards. Negative operant conditioning to be exact.

Controlling and manipulative. I'm actually quite insulted at the fact that they're insinuating that I would get vaccinated for money and to not have to wear a mask. Umm no thanks, I'll just take my punishment for not wanting to risk my life.

Should probably be boasting about getting immunity from getting vaccinated. Not money.

When something is too good to be true, it usually is. Just saying🤷‍♀️

[Goforit1010]

This is my Governor and he's a nitwit. The alternative when he ran in 2018, was even worse, so we're stuck with him - for the time being.

Where's these $million$ he's coming up with to "give" away? Besides, I ain't taking that stupid experimental shot. I've seen and heard far too many negative things about it. If you need to bribe people to take it, and have a nonstop radio and TV campaign to get people to take it, something's not right. I've heard and read that afterward you still can get COVID. You STILL need to physically distance. You STILL need to wear a damn mask. So how is this helping again?

He's also removing the emergency health policies on 2 June. Really? He couldn't do that a few days earlier - BEFORE Memorial Day? Like 5 days sooner will make any difference? At least we won't need to wear a stupid face diaper for the summer. Nimrod!

[normalice]

I imagine Republican governors find themselves in a bit of a corner, where they need to get their republican voters vaccinated to get their state running but they also need to pretend like they dont really need their republican voters to get vaccinated to keep up the "government sucks" narrative.

[drexel420]

So if it's a vaccination why can I still get the wuhflu after getting the fucking thing and why do minors have a different one, you go on and be a brainwashed yes man see where that gets you 😂 snowflake

[normalice]

Wow. A word salad of far right fake news talking points. Each point you sort-of brought up has answers that are already openly discussed in the mainstream media. But yoive probably been brainwashed into considering any source with boring realistic information that doesn't suggest the possibility of at least two pedo pizza parlors must be brainwashing. Dumb piece of shit 🤣🤣

[Bellatris]

If they have to resort to bribery in order to get people to accept those vaccines, then that tells me there is something seriously wrong with them that they're just not telling us about. I mean, shouldn't the promise of immunity against the commie virus be incentive enough? One would think so.

[goaded]

Really? It tells me that people have believed a bunch of lies about the vaccine.

[Nachowedgie]

The "vaccine" doesn't provide immunity against the virus though

[Still-alive]

No it actually says that the people he represents are so dumb that they have to be bribed to take the vaccine

[Nachowedgie]

He doesn't represent the majority according to the election so your statement is inaccurate

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie mot really the people in his state are still dumb af to refuse the vaccine

[Nachowedgie]

I mean, if you think the basic human right to bodily autonomy is stupid then that says more about you than I need to know xD

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie there's also the right to life as well but i guess you dont care about that either

[Nachowedgie]

And I said that where? Please quote me saying that, I'll wait

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie by refusing to take the vaccine you put other people at risk for getting the disease possibly killing them hence my statement. You aren't very bright it seems. Sad

[Still-alive]

You can have your autonomy but please move to a city in the middle of nowhere away from everyone else

[Nachowedgie]

"By refusing to take the vaccine you put other people at risk for getting the disease possibly killing them hence my statement"

Hmm no you don't, the "Vaccine" only provides minor protection against the virus by reducing the severity of the symptoms you get when you do eventually get the virus. It doesn't prevent spread of the virus nor does it stop you getting it. It only minorly benefits those who are vaccinated and provides no benefit to those who aren't. So choosing not to get it, which is your right to do so can only negatively effect you.

I myself have already had the virus, it was barely noticeable and I'm perfectly fine now as most people tend to be. Considering the chance of death is around 0.2%

Seems you aren't the bright one in this equation if you don't actually know how the "vaccine" works.

[goaded]

@Still-alive I'd join the conversation, but @Nachowedgie has blocked me.

[Nachowedgie]

"You can have your autonomy but please move to a city in the middle of nowhere away from everyone else"

Or the people who disagree with basic human rights can

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie we are trying to achieve “herd immunity” and when you and other anti vaxxers refuse to take the vaccine we cannot collectively achieve that and hence only pockets of people will be able to guard effectively against the vaccine.

Alsi your personal anecdote about getting the virus is irrelevant against the mountain of data proving otherwise. A cigarette smoker can smoke all his life and never get lung cancer but that doesn’t disprove the lethality of it nor would it mean that cigarette smoking doesn't cause ling cancer.

So if you truly want to disprove the effectiveness of the vaccines or the lethality of covid 19 then you have to provide counter data that has been highly scrutinized tested and peer reviewed before we take it seriously

[Still-alive]

“ Or the people who disagree with basic human rights can”

Except the right to life. You want a beautiful tropical
Lonely island? Go for it its all yours just stat away from other people you dangerous ignorant person you.

[Nachowedgie]

I see you ignored the part where I said the "vaccine" doesn't provide immunity thus "herd immunity" can't be achieved.

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie feel free to offer a citation for the ineffectiveness of the vaccine and it better be an official source with tons of well documented data there too.

[Nachowedgie]

The WHO and CDC have both explained it only reduces the severity of symptoms, doesn't prevent you testing the virus or spreading it

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie citation please

[Nachowedgie]

You have two hands and the Internet at your finger tips

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie nope thats not how this works. You make the claim you provide the evidence to back it up. Until then no one will take you seriously and we can all ignore you which is also our right.

[Nachowedgie]

That is how this works

I'm not your parent or teacher, you're 37 years old, I'm not here to spoon feed you.

You can decide to not take me seriously or ignore me all you want and you'll forever remain the village idiot, either way it doesn't affect me so you can either educate yourself or not

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie guess you missed the class on how logic works where those who present vlaims must also provide the evidence its not up to other peope to look them up for them. But hey you know what here's john hopkins AND the Mayo clinic both saying how herd immunity can be achieved disputung your idiotic claim that immunity doesn't exist (see how we obliterated polio and smallpox also to dispute your claim too).

www.jhsph.edu/.../...rd-immunity-with-covid19.html
www.mayoclinic.org/.../art-20486808

[Nachowedgie]

(see how we obliterated polio and smallpox also to dispute your claim too)

Because the vaccines actually provided immunity from contracting polio and small pox. Unlike these Covid "vaccines"

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie awesome so you have no real argument against mine. I think we’re done here.

Move away from society please.

[Nachowedgie]

"Awesome so you have no real argument against mine. I think we’re done here"

I do you just chose to ignore it because you don't like being wrong xD

"Move away from society please

I don't have to thanks

[Still-alive]

@Nachowedgie I've provided direct concrete proof of herd immunity with COVID-19. You’ve provided jack shit. You just love to say whatever suits your argument without any concrete backing to it.

So its not worth engaging further with you

[hellionthesagereborn]

Fucking bullshit because he is offering to give up a million dollars of TAX PAYER MONEY to bribe people to get a vaccine. If it was HIS money I wouldn't give a fuck but its not, he is using other peoples money to coax people into doing something he thinks they should do and is doing so without their consent, that is theft plain and simple. If I was living in ohio I would sue because he is using tax payer money for something that the tax payers did not agree to it being used for.

[On_cloud_wine]

How do you know?

[hellionthesagereborn]

Because politicians don't give away their own money and I highly doubt he is going to give up over a quarter of his net worth for this. In addition, he openly stated it (as confirmed in the article): "The money will come from existing federal pandemic relief dollars, DeWine said, and the Ohio Lottery will conduct the drawings.". That money is tax payer money.

[Roxxy99]

You cannot sue a state because you disagree with how tax dollars are spent. They generally have immunity from these type of suits. If they didn’t, there would be a myriad of lawsuits over each and every budget item and the public cost of defending those suits would be astronomical. Nothing would ever get done. You give them permission to spend your tax dollars how they choose under the constitutional system in place when you elect them to office. We have no say over how the money is spent. We only have say over our representation at the ballot box.

[hellionthesagereborn]

@Roxxy99 You can under certain conditions i. e. misappropriation of funds. Not sure if this matches the legal definition of it of course, but it sure matches the spirit of it. As for all the rest, I'm not talking about frivolous lawsuits, I'm talking about holding politicians accountable for their actions. Yes people shouldn't vote in stupid people but 90% of the country is completely oblivious to politics yet still feel the need to vote. That means the rest of us are stuck with these peoples piss poor decisions. Doesn't mean that politicians should be allowed to violate the law, misuse funds, lie through their teeth and strip people of their freedoms simply because americans have become so intellectually lazy as to not do any research on whom they are voting into office.

[Roxxy99]

You cannot even sue for misappropriation of funds. States have sovereign immunity. To have standing to sue, you have to show that you suffered personal harm or injury at the hands of a government official or agency. You can’t challenge how tax money is spent. I’m not saying DeWine’s lottery isn’t frivolous. There’s just no remedy for the taxpayer other than voting him out. The legislature might be able to challenge the constitutionality of the spending perhaps.

[Adam1978]

If you trust such a lottery your a fool, one it tries to get people to take the vaccine, which means the big medecine industry get income, the second is handpicked winners who get tax money or just a bogus name and there is no winners it's all a trick, while the money still disappear from the account. Stuffing his or someone close pocket.

[Miristheiss]

Whose money is this he is planning to treat as the "lottery"?

[goaded]

Vaccination funds, iirc.

[On_cloud_wine]

Good question🧐

[MCheetah]

If politicians have to bribe people to take something that's "good for them," then I immediately distrust it. Since WHEN do politicians ever have your best interests in mind? I think people really ARE this stupid to be persuaded by it, though.

[On_cloud_wine]

And the politicians who are vaccinated are still wearing masks so what’s the point if you have to still wear them?

[KatherineJ]

I live in Ohio... I think this is one of the dumbest ideas he has come up with. I think that money would be better spent on combating the increase in drug use, or maybe suicide prevention.

[On_cloud_wine]

The first step is to encourage police to come back to work with a pay raise. Good, qualified, well-trained police, and a border wall. The drugs are coming right through them

[KatherineJ]

@On_cloud_wine I don’t disagree with those policies at all. I mean five million dollars would also go a long way to help fix the damage to many small businesses in Ohio that were looted and damaged during the riots last Summer in Cleveland and Columbus.

[On_cloud_wine]

I agree with you there. I feel like it’ll be ongoing for a while though. Police are afraid to take action because of new policies. The country is so divided. Maybe fix that first lol

[On_cloud_wine]

I heard Kamala bailed out people who looted.. wtf

[KatherineJ]

@On_cloud_wine I heard she donated to a fund that did.

[On_cloud_wine]

What fund was this?

[KatherineJ]

I think it was some go fund me type of thing. She wasn’t the only politician to donate to those though.

[On_cloud_wine]

So she didn’t know what she was really funding?

[KatherineJ]

@On_cloud_wine on that I don’t know.

[On_cloud_wine]

Hmmmm

[KatherineJ]

@On_cloud_wine yeah, I don’t want to make an assumption that I don’t have any proof for, or against, you know?

[On_cloud_wine]

Yes ma’am. I 2nd that

[KatherineJ]

@On_cloud_wine that’s one of our problems, people hear something and just go off with only part of the story.,

[JDavid25]

I mean... It's just showing how not serious the "virus" is if the Government is offering prizes to adults like kids for them to get the "vaccines".. LOL.. It's getting silly..

[JuliaStyles]

They must be hard up to get people to volunteer to get vaccinated when trust in the government is at an all time low.

[goaded]

Yes, because distrust has been pushed by the Republicans for decades.

[MeghanL]

I would love to win a big prize like that, but that wasn't the reason I got vaccinated.

But if it motivates people to get vaccinated then go for it.

[Coulis]

Makes it even more clear to me that I shouldn't get this vaccine. They want me to take it way too badly and I don't trust these people.

[VanillaSalt]

The devil offers you wealth in return for your soul... at least that’s a sure thing...

[VanillaSalt]

Ok so look I won’t take the vaccine. I’ve had COVID it was a joke and by the vaccines standards in now immunized. To be fair I honestly think cocos just a political stunt to control the country and being about the great reset... but whatever my Governor has me feeling like if the US breaks Texas will be okay on its own. My life won’t change much. So to everyone else do what you want. Sell your freedom to choose for what Democrats bait you with. It means nothing to me so what you want and understand I will do the same.

Politics aside. This vaccine was made in a ruse and we don’t know the long term effects of it yet. I will risk COVID which I’ve had over a rushed vaccine, that was made under stress, during a climate of hatred division and conspiracies, whereby the companies face no legal ramifications by government edict.

[joeldalton]

Imagine a virus so deadly you have to be bribed to take a vaccine to prevent you from getting it.

[On_cloud_wine]

My work is offering a shit load of money to those vaccinated at the company and I still refuse

[joeldalton]

Good for you.

[On_cloud_wine]

I’m immune like you 🥰

[joeldalton]

^5, girl.

[On_cloud_wine]

I like ^5’s

[Leavesbound]

It is sad when the public needs to be bribed into letting you save their lives.

[drexel420]

Save my life bruuuuuhhhhh y'all need to wake up this is the pussiest virus we've seen like killed old people in New York huh why did that happen again. ... moving on.. You been vaccinated for smallpox I'm assuming... Ever get it NO SO WHY CAN I GET THIS BS AFTER A "VACCINATION"?

[Leavesbound]

@drexel420 You never took biology in college did you? If you had you'd understand how vaccine's work. We didn't get small pox because we got the small pox vaccines. You need to get your science information from actual scientists not politicians with an agenda or conspiracy theorists.

[drexel420]

You're ass would have cheated off me to pass stfu

[The_Maphio]

Trying to dip his state in the neverending hole of public debt, I see.

[goaded]

Genius. Unless you get individuals getting vaccinated every week...

[bulletbob555]

I see it as a positive thing. The only thing keeping us from normalcy and herd immunity is the last 20% of the population not getting vaccinated

[ChefPapiChulo]

Imagine being afraid of a vaccine when vaccines have saved millions of lives.

[captain_voidwalker]

Vaccine is so shit they're having to bribe people to take it.

[lucas262]

That's scares me more. Also jow much of that money is taxed?

[JamieLoves]

Why are they trying so hard to bribe people to take their Lethal Injection?

[Rina_colada]

Or they can just give free healthcare to everyone...
