The same politicians who invented what are “essential” and “non-essential” businesses and what, where, and how the economy must be locked down to fight the COVID War are now offering taxpayer’s money to people who want the COVID vaccination.
Instead of offering stimulus checks for persons who have been barred from working in their customary jobs or have seen their small businesses shut down and destroyed by not being favored as “essential,” Steve Stivers, a congressman from Ohio, is proposing to reward vaccine-takers.
“I hope the administration will look at that option because we actually buy something with our $1,400 – and that’s herd immunity,” Stivers said in an interview with Yahoo Finance.
While giving a happy talk to concern about debt, he was enthusiastic about his jab incentive:
“It should be debt for the right things. The quickest thing we need to do if we really want to help the American people, is get this economy turned back on – get people back to work, get kids back in school, get ourselves some herd immunity, get the vaccine distributed as quick as we can and get the uptake rate up. That’s why I’d be willing to accept a $1,400 stimulus check if people are willing to take the vaccine.”
TRENDPOST: The congressman failed to mention that virtually nothing is stopping locked-down areas of the country from immediately opening safely as we have detailed in this and previous issues of the Trend Journal.
For example, locked-down New York State, with a population of 19.5 million – where NYC restaurants are prohibited to have indoor dining, has registered 42,568 virus-related deaths compared to opened-up Florida, with a population of 21.5 million and 25,446 reported deaths. While the media keeps pumping up the fear factors, these deaths are now over 12 months. And, in the unhealthy, obese U.S., some 90 percent of all virus deaths are people over 65 years old.
He also didn’t address the culpability of politicians in flouting laws and rights of citizens to institute lockdown regimes that have utterly failed to slow the spread of COVID while precipitating an economic calamity that will affect the nation and world for years to come.
