Quote:During an interview with CNBC, former Maryland Representative John Delaney suggested giving $1,500 for getting immunized.
“The faster we get 75 percent of this country vaccinated, the faster we end Covid and the sooner everything returns to normal,” Delaney said in an interview with CNBC.com.
Survey data shows a growing political divide about whether or not to take the vaccine, and Delaney told CNBC.com there has to be an incentive for “people to really accelerate their thinking about taking the vaccine.”
Delaney pointed out that while his plan would not force anyone to get vaccinated, there are already measures in the U.S. to encourage vaccination, including for children to attend school.
While his proposal seems enticing, it faces some big hurdles.
Sending people $1,500 checks in exchange for vaccination could cost upward of $380 billion. By comparison, the round of stimulus checks sent to Americans earlier this year totaled more than $270 billion so far.

Typical thoughts of the "elite", thinking money will buy anything.
Don't know about the rest of you, but my life is worth a whole lot more than what they could ever pay me. I'm not some item they can buy to use in their experiments. And that's exactly what this vaccine is.
