West Virginia to pay residents $100 to get COVID-19 vaccine

New York Daily News – by Kate Feldman

West Virginia is practically bribing its youngest adults to get their COVID-19 vaccine.

Residents between 16 and 35 years old will receive a $100 savings bond after their shot, Gov. Jim Justice announced Monday, calling on people to sign up as soon as possible “if we want to really move this needle.”

“They’re not taking the vaccines as fast as we’d like them to take them,” Johnson said at a press conference.

West Virginia led the country in a speedy vaccine rollout earlier in the year, but the state’s numbers have slowed considerably. About 52% of the population has received at least one dose so far.

“If we can get to 70%, we’ll shut this virus down,” Justice said. “If we do that, the masks go away, the hospitalizations go away, and the deaths become minimal.”

The payouts will come from the state’s CARES Act fund, a plan the governor said was properly vetted.

“Our kids today probably don’t really realize just how important they are in shutting this thing down,” Justice said.

“I’m trying to come up with a way that’s truly going to motivate them — and us — to get over the hump.”

  1. Keep your “thirty pieces of silver” you treasonous piece of $hit! You never had the authority to order anyone to wear a mask or do anything else without due process of the law……..the Supreme Law, the Bill of Rights. Also, don’t pretend that you and your ilk will give up your illusionary “power” that you have been wielding. The people are waking up to this plandemic/scamdemic in droves, and you treasonous bastards will be tried in a Common Law Court!

  2. Savings Bond? What a joke! Now I realize West Virginia is “white trash central” (I’m being sarcastic, okay?) but even “deplorables” aren’t this stupid! Besides, that fentanyl these “hillbillies” supposedly inject into themselves (according to the holier-than-thou white upper class elites who believe this nonsense) costs a helluva lot more than a hundred dollar “savings bond”!

  3. Wow. A savings bond.

    That sounds useless.

    They are going to loan to the government on your behalf and in ten years maybe it will keep up with inflation at a negative interest rate.

    I’ll take the shot for my own submarine. A trident would work for me.
