The WinePress has reported that there has been plenty of vaccine hesitancy. This has forced companies, and federal and state governments to entice the masses to get the vaccine.
Krispy Kreme was the first mainstream company that got everyone’s attention, by offering free daily donuts to the vaccinated – evolving into free coffee as well – drawing in plenty of praise and equally just as much scrutiny.
This seemed to get the ball rolling on incentives for the vaccine.
On April 22nd, The WinePress reported the Biden Administration was offering a tax credit to anyone who gets the vaccine. A few days later the West Virginia Governor Jim Justice offered a $100 savings bonds to a certain age group that gets vaccinated.
More recently, the Ohio Governor Mike DeWine then began a $1 million lottery raffle to those who have been vaccinated.
But it is not just these companies and governments offering incentives. States all across the nation are offering something to get residents inoculated against Covid-19.
Here is a list of what some other companies and states are doing.
Oregon: Governor Kate Brown borrowed from the Ohio playbook and is now also offering lottery prizes ranging from $10,000 to the grand prize of $1 million, according to the Oregonian. By June 27th, those aged 18 and older will automatically be entered into the “Take Your Shot Oregon” raffle held on the following day.
One person from the entire state could win the million, while 36 other residents (one from each county) could win $10K.
Those aged 12-17 will be entered into a separate raffle with 5 lucky winners earning $100,000 into a Oregon College Savings Plan.
Maine: Beginning effective immediately on May 31st, “Your Shot to Get Outdoors!” will be initiated for anyone over 18 who has received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine, to win one of the following prizes:
- A fishing license for this year
- A renewed hunting license for this year
- A wildlife park pass that covers two people for the rest of the season
- State Day park pass that can be used through June 15th and one vehicle admission
- A $20 gift card to L.L. Bean
- An admission ticket to the Portland Sea Dogs Minor League Baseball team
- And a pass to the Oxford Plains Speedway
New Jersey: Residents over the ages of 21 are eligible for “Shot and a Beer,” launched with the help of the Brewer’s Guild of New Jersey, the Department of Health, and Governor Phil Murphy. Anyone who can produce a vaccination card to any participating brewery before June 1st, then can drink a free beer.
Michigan (Detroit): Mayor Mike Duggan announced the Good Neighbor program to include a $50 pre-paid debit card. Registered users of the program can bring three fellow residents of Detroit to get vaccinated will earn the card.
Louisiana (New Orleans): On May 13th, those who showed up to receive a Covid vaccine would also get a free pound of boiled crawfish.
Connecticut: Governor Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Restaurant Association, launched #CTDrinksOnUs campaign, where participating Connecticut restaurants will offer complimentary drinks that began on May 19th. Patrons just have to present proof of vaccination to receive a free beverage. It is limited to one person and patrons have to purchase a meal.
Maryland: Governor Larry Hogan announced that all state employees will earn “a retroactive $100 payment.”
Today, the state just announced a $2 million lottery to entice residents to get vaccinated. A resident from Baltimore already won $40,000. There will be 39 more daily drawings until Independence Day with the grand prize of $400,000.
New York City: Mayor Bill de Blasio On May 13th began his morning brief by eating a burger, fries, and a large pop courtesy of Shake Shack. Those that can provide proof of vaccination will be eligible to a receive a gift card from the fast food chain, and an order of free medium-sized fries.
Is it too early in the day to eat a burger? No? This could be breakfast?
I want you to look at this and think about — again some people love hamburgers, some don’t, I really want to respect all ways of life — but if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination. Mmmm … vaccination. I’m getting a very good feeling about vaccination right at this moment.

De Blasio also announced some other incentives. He also announced free passes to some of this summer’s music festivals, part of his prediction of the Summer of New York City and the Summer of Joy. Free tickets for The Global Citizen Live fest will be raffled.
Brooklyn-based musician King Princess said over video feed, “What’s up, Mr. Mayor?,” to help promote the vaccine enticements.
I’m good, man. I’m really, really excited to be a part of live music, especially now. It’s my life, and now more than ever people need that type of energy transfer, that type of performance to heal their souls.
Airliners: The most recent incentive comes from an announcement by United Airlines and their launch of a sweepstakes for the vaccinated, which Forbes described it as a “humdinger.”
‘Every day in June, the airline will give away a pair of roundtrip tickets for two, in any class of service, to anywhere in the world United flies. But wait, there’s more. On July 1, United will dip back into the pool and randomly pick five winners for the amazing grand prize: Free flights for two, anywhere in the world, for an entire year. Not only is this initiative good for United’s business, it’s going to be very good for the country,’ says the Forbes report.
We’re proud to do our part to incentivize people to get their shot. Thanks to the vaccine, more and more destinations are opening up for travel – and we know our customers are eager to fly.
United CEO Scott Kirby
Forbes concludes its report by saying,
United is the first major travel brand to offer a significant incentive to get more Americans vaccinated. Hopefully, it’s just the beginning of a big, beautiful trend.
Colorado: Today Governor Jared Polis is also offering a lottery titled the Colorado Comeback Cash, after noting a dramatic decrease in vaccination rates.
The drawings will continue for 40 consecutive days ending on July 4th, with the chance to win the grand prize of $400,000.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. [11] If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: [12] Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: [13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: [14] Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: [15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: [16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Proverbs 1:10-16
[29] A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. [30] He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.Proverbs 16:29-30
[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. [16] Do not err, my beloved brethren.James 1:13-16
Actions speak louder than words: the broad masses, though many of them have gotten a vaccine, just as many it seems are not interested in a vaccine; so the new narrative from the governments, companies, and media is to tempt the masses by making them envious of the “vaxxed-class” having all the “fun” with their money (that will be taxed immediately and required to be reported to the IRS), tickets to a minor league baseball team no one has heard of, garbage music, and free flights with that “5-star airline food.”
And then you have all these junk food incentives, which are so counter intuitive to the vaccinations, seeing as those who are overweight and obese are some of the most likely to get sick with the non-isolated Covid, or with anything due to a weakened immune response and unhealthy organs. But the vaccines are death shots: it has nothing to do with health and wellness of any kind.
