This just seems to jump into "other side is doing it so it's bad" politicking. I'm so tired of this stuff. I love what DeSantis did in Florida and I hate the cult-like response to covid.
But now they're doing what they're supposed to - managing a new disease, offering vacinne, but not forcing people to take it...and you're still unhappy?
This is how things are supposed to work, not the crazy cult-like environment that was being pushed before. You have to provide a little motivation to get some people to do things and I don't think a sandwhich and some fries is excessive government pressure.
I’m not saying using free stuff as an incentive for vaccination is excessive government pressure. However what I am saying is that governments are still pushing way too hard for vaccines for a relatively harmless virus. Maybe things are a bit different in the US but I cannot think of a single instance where my state or federal government tried to motivate people to vaccinate by giving free stuff as a “bribe”. I remember when very well when they discovered the HPV vaccine that could prevent cervical cancer, (a far deadlier ailment) and all they did was run some ads saying “hey people should get this”, the same went for the flu vaccine So to me this whole “bribe” thing is a bid foreign and seems very strange especially in relation to the current pandemic.
