There are people in this country- probably even in West Virginia- who are dying, literally-graveyard-dead-DYING, because they can't afford their medicines, often in part to the restrictions these same governments imposed. And yet, people are being bribed to rush out and take an untested medical treatment, based on an untested technology, with absolutely no manufacturer or government liability if things go wrong.
I would like to add an addendum to Santayana: those who DO learn from history are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it.
Right! There's so many better things they could did with those resources they're using to bribe people to really help people who really need it
Yes, they are going way too far, they are giving away chances to be a millionaire just for getting a COVID Vaccine... I agree we all should get the COVID Vaccine but I don't know about these Sates that are making deals with people... I'm leery about the COVID Vaccine so much you hear about it ( People getting blood clots, throwing up and diarrhea, vomiting, severe skin rashes, some people dying, etc, yes this is scary
They need to do more studies on this Vaccine and be sure that it's as safe as
the Seasonal Flu Shot
I understand.
Thanks For MHO :)
👍👍☺
First of all, I don't seek advice from trained virologists and immunologists.
When I need to know about such matters, I turn to the masters and gurus of GAG.
I have heard countless GAG experts say that this vaccine is completely harmless and effective. Fauci said it would take at least five years to create a safe vaccine, but he's hardly a GAG guru. So I'll take the free gun and the vaccine.
Ugh. I think it’s dumb. I hate guns. I got vaccinated a while ago.
I don't hate guns.. I just don't think they should be giving em away like that... And the other things they could be doing with those resources instead of using it to bribe peel people
I agree. I just don’t like all the destruction they do. Seems like more harm than good.
Yeah I really hope they don't give those guns to just anybody..
Exactly. That could be a bigger problem than vaccines!

I mean I love America and have visited a few times, but a few stories do leave me confused! What the f*ck is the obsession with guns... I mean over here if you offer a free pint with each vaccine then we'd have the whole population vaccined 10 times over by now, so I'm not saying we're perfect but we just have different priorities! lol
Lol but it's not just guns they giving away trucks and money too
I'm all for trucks and guns, but I think that bribing people to subject themselves to a dangerous clinical trial is evil. "Take a chance on blood clots, infertility, liver or brain damage and early death for a chance to win a gun or a truck." Go ahead, roll the dice.
I meant to type "organ", not "liver". The spike proteins attach to organs. Several kids (who have a 0.0003% chance of dying from C-19, even without any treatment) have had what they characterize as "minor" heart attacks. Does "minor" mean that they didn't die? Oh, nothing to worry about, mom and dad.
Well nobody wastes money like the government, especially money that isn't theirs. As if there aren't better uses for that money. What's next? Bribe smokers with free houses and ride on lawnmowers if they'll take champix. I guarantee politicians don't blow their own money the way they blow ours. Idiots.
Right!! Thank you for getting this was about the sheer waste...
They are taking them way too far!! A lot of this reminds me of things that happened before Adolf came to power in Germany. We need to beware, lest history repeat itself.
Do your research!! Look for peer reviewed doctors; their studies have been verified, by countless other doctors; you know you are safer with their information. Do not follow the heard of lemmings.
Be safe, and keep yourselves read up!!!
Even though I support the Bill of Rights, free tickets to this and that, free guns, lottery entries, threats, er, I mean offers by Anheuser-Busch for free beer- just begs the issue. If someone is going to sell-out for a beer, their thoughts aren't very solid to begin with.
I don't know. Some people have good reasons for not getting it. If they have had covid or have had reactions from previous vaccines, it's a much tougher decision. I don't need any incentive. I don't make my medical advice from TV doctors or ad campaigns. I got it because I thought it was the be idea for me.
That's just crazy and insane. The politicians should all go to jail for bribery. When they offer to pay off my house, let me live tax free for 20 years and wipe out any debt I have, I might consider getting the shot then.
Right! There's people really struggling because of the last year and a half... They should use that state money to help those really struggling instead of bribing people...
I swear the world really is getting crazier and crazier
As someone who has a total ban on guns in my country, honestly? For me It solidifies every stereotype associated with America and Guns.
Such a waste of resources that could be better used in these trying times
You know what they give NHS workers, doctors and consultants here that don't wish to take the vaccine as a bribe? Lollipops. I swear that is absolutely true.
Really?
Yep. My cousin works in a hospital here and she says Doctors won't take the yearly flu vaccine because and I quote, "they are scared of needles!"
Then you have these vaccine reps going round once a year trying to bribe them to take it with note pads, lollipops and badges etc.
I mean though... GUNS? It is just inconceivable to us what SOME parts of your country do.
It's. Inconceivable to me too
I got vaccinated a long time ago. I would be angry if the government offered bribes for the stragglers to get the shot.
Some States are.. West Virginia giving away trucks, guns, cash through a lottery type system
There's soo many other ways those states could be helping people struggling than giving out that much to one person as a bribe or "incentive"..
It doesn't matter to me what they do to get people to get vaccinated. I had incentive enough after being in the hospital on a ventilator for 33 days with the coronavirus. Therefore when I was given the opportunity to get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, I took them up on it. And I have been fully vaccinated since the end of March 2021.
You would think they are desperate to inject people with some remote alien technology or something.
I just think those resources they're using to bribe people could be put to way better use.
Wow that wouldn't work in the mw. I didn't know places were doing that. It's crazy and I guess a company can offer whatever they want to in order to sell their product. Just sad they are
It's coming from the state tho not the companies... States are giving away millions in cash lottery style as well... I just think those resources could be put to much better use than to bribe people to get vaccinated... Such a waste of resources
If they're having a real problem with takeup of the vaccine I dig the lottery idea. I'm not sure I would be offering guns as a prize in the current climate. Maybe a bottle of Jack Daniels?
😂Jack Daniel's lolol
Have you ever tried Jack Daniels? We used to use something very similar for weatherproofing woodwork.
Yes I have
Waif. But we have guns. Why would I pay to shoot something especially a is that a deer rifle? 1 of the most common rifle world wide? Tf
It's not just fine they're giving away trucks and money too
*guns
The only incentive I would think anyone needed is "living"
But I get it that some are not sold on getting vaccinations.
But give people guns? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the right to carry... but are they giving guns to just anyone? Cuz that's a scary thought
Right!!
Yes I don't live in the US so it's just a mad thing to hear
Right
Firearms are highly dangerous and shouldn't even be available to most of the population
Here in Ohio our idiot Governor decided to have a lottery. 1 million each week for five weeks.
That's ridiculous.. That money could be put to way better use than to bribe people...
@Brainsbeforebeauty I agree! Like oh, I don’t know... Fixing the roads?
I still wouldn't get the Vaccine. In sure whatever guns they are giving are air guns and garbage ones
They're also giving away trucks and cash.. lottery style
Dumb
Guns should be part of the offer unless a person unless a back ground check is included.
*not.
I'd hope they are.. But even then, there's way better ways to use those resources to help people that are really struggling than to bribe people
I totally agree.
Get vaccinated or we'll take away your gun. Far more effective
Damn... I should have gone there. I love putting holes in paper.
They're giving trucks and cash
Too they meant to say
😂😂
Well if they are going to give away firearm for a vaccine shot, they still need that background check from the reciever.
If anyone says anything different and you believe that, well you are probably easily manipulated by either some moron on mainstream media or current potus Joseph Robinette Biden.
My one an only source is Steven Crowder, he have made several videos about "gun loopholes" and debunked every single lie about it.
They know their people!! They probably also know that a lot, are unsure of the vaccine!
A nice Lever, Hunting rifle, .30-.30, to get the vaccine, yeah, I'm in!! :)
Sadly, I don't live there, and am already vaccinated!
Obviously there is nothing good about the shot if the government wants it in people's bodies so badly over a virus with a 99% recovery rate. I will never get it. Keep your free donuts and beer.
It has reached the point of insanity, hasn't' it? They can vaccinate my dead body !
This is the only one I’ve seen that’s pretty cool.
Since when does a pandemic need a marketing campaign?
Whatever it takes is true. Guns for a shot maybe not the right thing to do. West Virginia guns for hunting would make more sense than other places. Still would be better with a different prize
There are banks that offer the same for opening an account, getting a loan, buying a car, so on and so forth, I don't see a problem there.
Banks are using their own money.
@DaisyJones exactly!!
Imagine a virus so deadly you need to be bribed to get vaccinated against it.
I find it a sad state of affairs when the government has to bribe people into letting it save their lives.
Only it is not saving any lives. It is harmful.
If the government wanted to save lives they would pay for everybody's life saving medicines not an injection with chimpanzee virus and GMOs in it.
@TruthWillSetYouFreee It does save lives. If you take the vaccine there is less than 1 chance in a million that you will die from COVID 19 and less than one chance in a million that you will die from the Vaccine. if you don't take the vaccine there is better than one chance in 550 that you will die from COVID 19 thus by taking the vaccine you reduce your chance of death by about 1800 times. The math does not lie. There is not medicine that is anywhere near as effective than the vaccine and the vaccine prevents the illness from happening in the first place where medicine only treats it after you get sick. Didn't you take biology where they taught how all this works?
w virginia is a different kind of place. went there to visit my relatives a few years back. nice people and i wouldn't judge
This isn't about the people this is about states using resources to bribe people when those resources could be put to much better use
I think that anything that can be done to persuade people to get vaccinated is worth doing. The idiots that refuse vaccinations are endangering all of us.
Too bad they can't offer to inject them with "smarts" or IQ points.
Lmao. That's West Virginia for ya. More power to them. Whatever works!
West Virginia, huh. Maybe it’s worth a drive over there then.
Nah, that's smart marketing for a state that has a large number of hunters
I won't get it no matter what they try to give me
Nice idea.. but no. Im staying pure.
I want a truck 😗
Lol I'm more thinking of the guns they giving away.. is that really a good idea?
As long as they are not made in china lol
Hahaha.. I'm being serous tho, are they just giving guns away without making sure it's someone that passes the criteria to be a legal gun owner?
They are taking it too far this should be stop
Yes!
can i use it to shoot someone?
That's a quain question to ask West Virginia
west virginia an ass backwards state
Yeah but other states doing it with money too.
