During the Bubonic Plague, if there were some elixir that made people immune to it, do you think the local Lord would have had to bribe the peasants to take it?
Is this just an out of date narrative from the last time around? Honestly, this is how it's supposed to work. The government isn't supposed to be able to force you to do it, or to threaten your livehood or ability to earn a living.
Here they are offering...fries.
The government is supposed to fulfill it's job of encouraging you to do things it believes is in societies best interest, without forcing or coercing you into it.
If this was the Plague where 25% of the population was wiped out and every family had buried at least one close relative, would you need the government to tell you this was something you needed to take seriously? Or would you just know it was serious business because every day it seemed like someone you knew was now dead?
I'm just repeating myself here. You seem to be writing a narrative that applies to things that happened before but having nothing to do with this one.
Offering fries and a burger in exchange for getting vacinnated is the level vaccine encouragement should be at in general. It's not the "you're not allowed to have a job or leave your house" crap that was being pushed before.
Why is "vaccine encouragement" necessary at all for this thing? People who are afraid of it are vaccinated; people who aren't, aren't.
If 6 billion people were dead and entire US cities were wiped out, "vaccine encouragement" wouldn't be necessary because people would be killing each other for a chance to get a couple spots ahead in the line.
Any "narrative" beyond that is something I didn't say.
