(UNCANCELED NEWS) – Million-dollar raffles. Free beer and doughnuts. $100 cash. Even a TikTok contest. These are just a few examples of the “incentives” being offered to entice people into getting a COVID-19 injection. Putting aside the fact that incentives are ethically suspect, an example of exploitation and, like coercion, are a method to get people to do what you want, statewide incentives programs have had no effect on daily injection rates.
Since that didn’t work, the powers that be are moving away from incentives and toward disincentives — like job loss, loss of privileges and higher health insurance costs — to get a needle in every arm.
August 25, 2021, Delta Air Lines announced that unvaccinated employees who are on the company health plan will have a $200 monthly surcharge added, effective November 1, 2021. It’s said that in the two weeks after Delta made the announcement, 20% of Delta’s unvaccinated employees had since gotten the injection, raising the company’s injection rate from 74% to 78%.
