When I saw other states instituting their “get vaccinated, win money” ploy to encourage people to get vaccinated, I wondered, a couple of things: Number 1, who’s paying for this? Number 2, what happened to state government’s ‘budget woes’? And 3, could this money be spent better somewhere else to help everybody, vaccinated or not?
I’m a dj. I don’t pretend to know how to do the job of running a state during ordinary times never mind during a year long pandemic. I have no idea what it’s like to energize a population to get inoculated to prevent catching and/or transmitting an airborne virus that has wreaked havoc with their lives and even taken the lives of their loved ones.
Add to that, that not everyone is on the same page regarding the virus and the vaccine for said virus and, well, I don’t have to tell you. What a mess.
Is the answer to throw money at the problem? How the hell should I know, I’m a dj.
But I better not hear one government official whining about not having the resources to do all the things that need doing to make life better for all of us.
Will getting vaccinated make life better for all of us? Again, I’m a dj. But those in charge must think so.
