The purpose of this post is to inform readers about the poor use of taxpayers dollars and federal Covid-19 relief funds. Between 2020-2022 23 states spent $229.1M on Covid-19 vaccine incentives. The jaw dropping $229.1M doesn’t include the money spent on other incentives like guns, beer, doughnuts, fries, marijuana, lap dances + more. A study conducted by CHIBE (Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics) at the University of Pennsylvania revealed that vaccination rates stayed the same or even declined after incentive programs were announced in some states. What’s even more shocking is the fact that some states with no vaccine incentive program have the same vaccination rates as states that spent millions on their programs. The full study can be read here.
