“We still have about 60 million people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not been, and that results in the dynamic of virus in the community that not only is dangerous and makes people who are unvaccinated vulnerable, but it also spills over into the vaccinated people,” Fauci said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
:surprised-pika:
This brings back memories from February:
"As my mother would say, with the grace of God and the goodwill of the neighbors, that by next Christmas I think we'll be in a very different circumstance, God willing, than we are today," Biden said. "A year from now, I think that there'll be significantly fewer people having to be socially distanced, having to wear a mask."
:biden-troll:
No shit Joe, you told everyone to give up on non-pharmaceutical interventions in July so you could have your big wet summer of fun, no one is social distancing or masking up anymore you utterly useless sack of cum
They could have paid people to get vaccinated and they didn't. Have another stimulus check tied to vaccination status or whatever. But I guess they just wanted people to be financially forced back to work. 👍 They just keep planning for the best possible outcome and running head first in the the wall of reality every time, it's fucking insane.
We will never get another stimulus check. The manufactured concern over inflation being tied to it will make sure of that.
:geordi-no: 800b for Americans
:geordi-yes: 800b for Wall Street
There are a couple places that paid people $100-500 or had a vaccine lottery. Idk how effective it was.
Reasonably effective, tbh.
It turns out that paying people even a modest financial reward can in fact help motivate them to get the shot, according to a team of researchers—including Prof. Devin G. Pope of the Chicago Booth School of Business—who performed a randomized controlled trial this past summer to measure the effects of payment on vaccination rates. The results of the study were recently published in the journal Science.
That said, the biggest factor in vaccination rate is ~~ class ~~ er, uh... education.
