Right? Easy way to do another stimulus round and would have been extremely popular.
Some states did do cash payments, although it was a lower amount (~$200 iirc) since they had lower budgets.
Those programs were, unsurprisingly, extremely successful.
I think one state even gave you a lotto ticket, which I thought was fucked up. That seemed to be almost as effective as actual cash last time I checked, but felt manipulative.
NC did a lottery. What was even more fucked up about it is they kept how they were getting the info super opaque for awhile. Turns out all the first responders who didn't get it at a Walgreens or CVS or whatever didn't get entered and if you didn't subscribe to Walgreens or CVS by phone they just didn't bother to contact you.
It was more of a way to sell private information to convenience stores than anything else.
Tying the stimulus to getting the vaxx seemed so obvious to me from the beginning, i still can't believe they never did that

Yeah all the states around me did million dollar vaccine lotteries. Kinda fucked up but somewhat effective.
I feel like the vast majority of the antivaxxers are just mildly anti vax. Literally just 500$ would easily buy them out to get vaxxed
