Really should have been something from the time vaccines were rolling out en masse. WTF is the point of vaccinating people if all you’re going to do is piss away the benefits by not mandating that people show proof of vaccination.

Also agree with Shitbird’s suggestion. Give people who are hesitating to get vaccinated a reason to go get vaccinated. I don’t care how deranged some of these anti-vaxxers are, there’s no way they’re turning down money, unless they are well off.

Purely as a box ticked to say “ok you have no excuses for getting sick now. we’re reopening at full speed and if people continue to get sick it’ll be their faults for being unvaccinated, not ours”. The vaccine apparently actually being somewhat effective is incidental

My work paid people for three hours to get vaccinated and while it’s not a lot of money, a surprisingly large amount of people who were on the fence or even anti-vax decided to get it just for the cash.

I still can’t believe it but it actually works.

I saw someone on Twitter today making the argument that the vaccines should cost people money in order to increase trust in them

They’re right, just the cost should be negative.

This is actually a thing that works sometimes as long as the price isn’t too prohibitive, sometimes you get situations where maybe you want to give old furniture away or something but if you list it for free no one wants it they assume there’s an issue, if you sell for 20 bucks all of a sudden they’re at your door wanting it. I don’t think vaccination works the same way here but it’s not without some form of precedent.
