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.
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
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'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.
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.
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
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.
As someone who has a total ban on guns in my country, honestly? For me It solidifies every stereotype associated with America and Guns.
I got vaccinated a long time ago. I would be angry if the government offered bribes for the stragglers to get the shot.
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.
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
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?
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
The only incentive I would think anyone needed is "living"
But I get it that some are not sold on getting vaccinations.
Yes I don't live in the US so it's just a mad thing to hear
Here in Ohio our idiot Governor decided to have a lottery. 1 million each week for five weeks.
I still wouldn't get the Vaccine. In sure whatever guns they are giving are air guns and garbage ones
Guns should be part of the offer unless a person unless a back ground check is included.
Get vaccinated or we'll take away your gun. Far more effective
