There has been some suggestion that the government simply needs to pay people to get vaccinated, so I was wondering, what would be your tipping point on taking the shot right now?

I have to say for me it would be the second option, I would take the mRNA vaccine right now for $1000.

So if that’s your incentive I’m guessing either the $10k or $100k options would be closest to accurate. Or if you already got it anyway there is an option for that.

wait - you haven't been vaxxed yet?

otherwise, who has been making this "suggestion that the government simply needs to pay people to get vaccinated"?

I was waiting for the novavax, however if the government offered me a $1000 incentive I would take the current option.

I'd love to say I wouldn't take it for any money but I guess I'm willing to sell my soul to (the Mark Pellegrino) Lucifer for 10k. I really need the money. That would be enough to pay off my credit card and have some extra.
I was going to do it for 1000 before but the weird thing is after quitting my job I'm not as willing to kill my soul/go back on my stance for less money.

These incentives only work for people who need money. Which makes the true informed consent difficult, unless you are financially well off. A person shouldn't make a medical decision because they need a $100 Walmart card to buy the kids clothes.

You could not pay me enough. I have never known anyone that has been sick from Covid. But I have seen people get sick after getting those shots!

You’re incredibly fortunate. I’ve had family members get sick and die.
