Showing Original Post only (View all)Should the federal govt offer a $1,000 payment to encourage vaccination? [View all]
In my opinion, yes govt should.
Currently, about 50% of adults in the USA are vaccinated. A far cry from the 70-80% that public health experts believe will turn the tide against covid and help get our lives back to some semblance of normal. Whatever normal is.
IMO im not sure if we'll ever return to normal but vaccines will help.
I'm just going to throw out some numbers.
I'm guessing that as many as half of vaccine hesitant people would get fully vaccinated if they had this cash incentive of $1000 for getting fully vaccinated.
Do you think that is a reasonable estimate?
Should President Biden pursue this?
It could be a game changer.
If these estimates are close to being right, this could possibly get our country near the 75% target of our citizens being vaccinated.
