"Your health is important to us!"

*offers free fast food*

Wow our government treats us like a bunch of idiots.

[CamAlert]

Why do they need to offer incentives for something that supposedly is safe and effective?

[crashoppe]

so now the CDC and health organization says it ok to get fat on junk food. as long as vaxed, your protected.

[GoodDogXanto]

Don't people usually get paid for participating in clinical trials?

[shanec]

This is how a trained my dog. He does what I want then I give him a treat.

[Vicpoint]

These people strike me as folks that are really concerned for my health.

[westmoreland]

Hey America,

How does it feel to be cattle?

[clownsheep]

Person: I’m concerned about taking this vaccine because it may hurt me.
Govt: Here’s a donut
Person: sounds good !

[smj]

Government doesn’t make money. Government takes your money.

[stanstan]

My teacher used to give me a gold star when I behaved.

[scottylane]

they are in violation of the nuremberg code for coercion and should be jailed

[briansmith]

Bribing people is “creative”... accepting the bribe is asinine. Getting the jab is death.

[alphalee]

They should be ashamed of themselves. Oh I forgot they're politicians, they have no shame.

[crashoppe]

have you ever wrapped a piece of cheese around a pill for your dog?

[thelonerider]

LMAO imagine taking something with unknown long term side effects and no long term studies, and whose known side effects can ruin your life with everything from vertigo to blood clots - for a donut or a happy meal.

[SWTWHITEGSR]

Best incentive would be to make the pharmaceutical companies and fda liable instead of being protected under emergency usage until 2024 since they swear it’s safe!

[tomhaggerty]

9 New York Yankee players, fully vaccinated, test positive for covid 19. Do you think they would give you money if the vaccines actually worked? Bribes are for when they doesn't work.

[estevangonzalez]

This has never been about health! More money for pharma in the coming years
