The following report is from Reuters:
President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced tax credits for certain businesses that pay employees who take time off to get COVID-19 shots, a new effort to involve corporate America in his vaccination campaign.
I’m calling on every employer, large and small, in every state to give employees the time off they need with pay to get vaccinated.
President Joe Biden
The tax credits will apply to businesses with fewer than 500 employees, he said.
In a speech, Biden also said he expects the United States to reach his 100-day goal of getting 200 million coronavirus vaccine shots in arms by the end of the day, even as the nation faces an increase in infections.
Today we hit 200 million shots. It’s an incredible achievement for the nation.
Biden said the vaccine effort is entering a new phase with everyone over age 16 becoming eligible to be vaccinated. Biden said 80% of all seniors have received at least one shot, leading to a dramatic decline in the deaths of elderly Americans.
If you’ve been waiting for your turn, wait no longer.
Biden administration officials said the government plans to reimburse businesses for the cost of giving workers as many as 80 hours in paid time off to get their shots or recover from any side effects.
The tax credit is for up to $511 per day for each worker, through September. Businesses with fewer than 500 employees employ roughly half of U.S. private-sector workers. The tax credits were authorized under Democratic-backed COVID-19 pandemic relief legislation passed by Congress and signed by Biden over Republican opposition.
The administration’s chief problem in its response to the pandemic is now shifting from securing enough vaccine supply to persuading enough Americans to seek out the available shots.
More than half of American adults have had at least one vaccine dose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A third of U.S. adults are fully vaccinated, as well as 26% of the population overall.
The U.S. COVID-19 death toll of more than 568,000 leads the world. The coronavirus is still killing hundreds of Americans daily and many Americans have shown a reluctance to get vaccinated.
Countries around the world with less successful vaccination campaigns than the United States are dealing with a spike in infections.
Biden, who has loaned some unused vaccines to Canada and Mexico and donated funds to a multilateral vaccination effort for poor countries, said the White House is still looking at its options for eventually sending vaccines to Canada, Central America and elsewhere. Biden told reporters after his speech that he spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier on Wednesday.
We don’t have enough to be confident to send it abroad now, but I expect we’re going to be able to do that. We’re looking at what is going to be done with some of the vaccines that we are not using. We’ve got to make sure they are safe to be sent.
Joe Biden

[13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.James 1:13-15
This is essentially a small stimulus check attached to the vaccine. Now you can get your free donut and coffee, and then get yet another excuse to sit home, do nothing, and collect a check.
If people are so eager to be vaccinated, as the media would have us to believe, why do the masses have to be incentivized and propagandized, day in and day out?

The government is doing whatever it takes to vaccinate the masses with as little resistance as possible. That’s where the incentives come in. At Amazon, they pay hourly employees up to $80 if they get the 2 doses, & $40 if they get one. This will get more worse because they are about to test their system soon. So the masses are not willing to wait on long lines to get into a store, but they’re willing to wait on long lines to get the jab. That’s how brainwashed people are. The incentives is just the tip of the iceberg.
Just keep dangling the carrot, this donkey is not biting.
