Ohio offering lottery prize worth one million for those that get the COVID shot

[chaser15]

What do you think of this? Do you agree with what the governor of Ohio is doing or are you against it?

I don't see any reason to think of that as negative so I agree with it as long as that money is properly bid in a good process and agreed by anyone else on their local government unit. It's a form of encouragement as not all people really like to get vaccinated even with those top vaccines with high efficiency rate.

All I can say is, I hope there's the same program here in our local government unit too lol. But honestly, it's a good initiative that government will do anything just to encourage people to be vaccinated.

Yeah its a really good initiative by their government but that would really come a cost or simply getting those funds out from those tax itself from the citizens so it isn't really that much surprising.

Good thing that they do come up with an idea for them to hook up the community to get vaccinated with this kind of way neither this would be effective or would be just simply be ignored

again just because they were to afraid on taking up the risk on getting the vaccine.Unless if its really that mandated or strictly imposed then that would be leaving no choice.

You have a point and you're right.
There could be better approaches rather than this. They should have invested that funds to buy another supply of vaccines and simply build trust in the public so they could willingly have themselves vaccinated.

I just find this approach very much desperate in a way that the government is begging the people which is ineffective. People will not be pleased on this way we can tell that. But if they built the trust and they deserve it, then we will realize that we are the ones who would benefit from it, right?

Well, I find this campaign hilarious! Is this how hard to convince people to have themselves vaccinated that you had to give them hopes to win prized after being vaccinated? I think it would be better to fix their behavior first and teach/let them know the consequences of them not being vaccinated and the pro sequences when they are. They would only make the people feel that they aren’t trustworthy enough to have the vaccination to the mass executed.

I agree with this lottery offering proving that it is indeed very difficult to convince people to want a vaccine. Maybe in addition to this lottery offering,
more education should be made to many people about the importance of vaccines. But the idea of offering a lottery for people willing to get a vaccine is
a brilliant idea not many other governments are doing. Perhaps what the Ohio government is doing is starting to be followed by other regions in America,
if it can be followed by other countries as well.

They should have set up some barangay orientations about the vaccine if they do really have the hard time on convincing out people on a certain city and since it is composed
with several places then its not a bad idea on setting up some educational teachings or similar things like that to make people aware on what are the benefits of getting
vaccinated but of course they shouldnt forget to mention about the risk but for some assurance that efficacy is much more higher and that what matter most.
People do mind on getting not to be infected rather than into their fear on not to get some vaccination.

I don't believe that it is a "brilliant" idea. Those who are not taking the vaccine are mostly antivaxxers, who believe that the vaccines will make the individual impotent or result in other complications. I don't think that they will rush for vaccination, just because the state government has offered a one in one billion chance of winning a lottery jackpot. The state government should rather care about those who are willing to get vaccinated. After all, it is a personal choice and the authorities can't infringe on it.

[bitterguy28]

for those who believe that Vaccine will bring risk to their health surely wont risk this Bet of their life just to have a million dollar chance.

Me? lol i would rather not win 1 million than to make my self uneasy from that vaccine.

I don't know why people are still resisting vaccination. Already more than 1 billion people have been vaccinated around the world. If this vaccine was so bad, then millions would have died and many more would have become handicapped. Has any of that happened? Unfortunately these people who are refusing to get vaccinated are posing a health hazard to others around them. Because unless 70% of the population is vaccinated, herd immunity can't be achieved. The unvaccinated people will continue to be carriers of the disease and it will linger on until the effects of the first vaccination campaign is gone (the effect of vaccine only lasts for 1 to 5 years, and after that it needs to be repeated).

Because not all people had a healthy body mate  and people like us who has a internal problem are afraid of the vaccine effect.
Maybe experts not seeing the possibilities but me? i will not risk my life and i would rather be isolated from people just to be protected from covid than vaccination .

A large number of the new deaths from the new strains of COVID 19 is now occurring in young people who don't have any comorbidities. If you can isoalate yourself, then it is good for you. But for how long you are going to isolate? What if the pandemic goes on for 5 years? Will you reside inside your room and never step outside for 5 years? What I am trying to say is that vaccination is the only solution. The infection spreads through air, and no matter how much you try, eventually it will catch up with you.

Yes, the education will be important to give for people to realize that it is important to get vaccinated. Although the vaccine can not fully protect them from the virus, they can get immunity for themselves while they can still try to take care of their health and try to healthy. But it is hard to convince people, even if they see the number of the Covid case still increasing day by day. Hopefully, people want to get vaccinated, with or without a lottery, because that is for their health and protection from the virus.

as a guy who wanted to get vaccinated so I can be more at ease, yeah I am fine with it. these incentives are just a bonus for me. also, I agree with what Darker45 said it would be better to lower the winning amount and to increase the number of people that can be picked as a winner. although, getting a chance of winning $1million has a better ring to it than winning a $100k. I wish my government would do the same.

Maybe it will happen, right now the incentive itself is to get the vaccine and be free of having to live your life afraid of the virus, but as things are going I am not going to get the vaccine in a very long time, which means that by that time I could get it there is going to be less enthusiasm coming from the population to get the vaccine which means that offers like this one could pop all over the world and you will get the best of both worlds, you will get the vaccine and maybe a small chance to make some significant amount of money.

When you do make yourself some vaccine just because you do hope for a million and just neglect out the risk on getting side effects then better you havent considered such step.
It isnt really an enough reason for me to get vaccinated because im still hesitant on what would be the possible risk that could rise up later on.Important thing here is that
you should strengthen your immune system and trying not to expose of yourself into the public so that you wont be risking out yourself to get infected.
Its a good initiative but i dont see for it to be that effective.

[nakamura12]

I won't get myself vaccinated just to have a chance to get millions of money. I have a neighbor who died after she get vaccinated and the family only received 1 sack of rice (50kg) and then forgotten that it happened. Even now in my country, if you get vaccinated you'll get money right after. Each people have different body and the immune system is also different because some are strong and some are weak.

Why not? It's a big advantage and you won't find an offer like that at any place.

Those vaccines, despite being rush, are clinically proven to be effective in the long run. There's no way WHO will just allow those companies to market their vaccine if it didn't pass tons of several clinical trials. It was well-funded.

Being healthy is already common to deal with the virus but please be fair to others who lined up for the vaccine because NOT all people can become healthy just as you. There are people who need to rely on the effectiveness of the vaccine.

I won't get myself vaccinated just to have a chance to get millions of money. I have a neighbor who died after she get vaccinated and the family only received 1 sack of rice (50kg) and then forgotten that it happened. Even now in my country, if you get vaccinated you'll get money right after. Each people have different body and the immune system is also different because some are strong and some are weak.

There are check-ups first before a person will allow being vaccinated. Maybe that neighbor of yours participated in the trials. Of course, there's no 100% prevention against the virus but at least the world is doing efforts.

Today, there are lots of trials already made that even people with pre-medical conditions are now safe. There are also neighbors of mine with the age playing from 70+ who already completed their vaccine doses.

You have a valid reason not to get vaccinated but I believe time will come that you’ll get your vaccine simply because its working already and the world pandemic slowly disappearing now, can’t wait for that moment. Anyway, every government is trying their best to to fully vaccinated their citizen so they can resume the economy, this is a good strategy to attract them but hopefully no more vaccine incidents so many will gain their trust on the vaccine.

It is indeed a sad fact that is happening now, with the spread of the virus continuing, doesn't make a lot of people aware of the importance of
getting a vaccine. Maybe the government really should be more serious in educating the public about the importance of vaccines, because there is
still a lot of misleading news that continues to spread today regarding the side effects of vaccines. Maybe this is the factor that causes people to
hesitate to get vaccinated. I agree that everyone should be enthusiastic about being vaccinated with the lottery or without the lottery,
if they all understood the importance of vaccines.

The vaccine manufacturers such as Pfizer will not deliver the vaccines unless the governments sign indemnity bonds with them. That means that of something happens during the vaccination phase and the individual who is receiving the vaccine undergoes any serious adverse reaction, then the vaccine manufacturer is not responsible for that. They don't have to pay any sort of compensation, or even acknowledge those deaths. As per the indemnity bond, it is the responsibility of the government to provide compensation. 

[Text]

The government has no other desire but safety, and its superiors will not allow it if it will only bring harm to their people.  But that's it, because of the misunderstanding of others, or the wrong information received about it that they might die from the vaccine than from the virus like my colleagues here at home.  It would be better for them to first conduct a comprehensive campaign about the benefits of the vaccine that it is effective for everyone and will protect against the virus.

What will be the process of drawing lottery tickets?  If in doubt, others may not be enticed.

People can easily get misleading news from social media and they will spread that news to their environment and say that is what happens to their country. But if they can ask the right person or health institutions, they will get the right answer that the vaccine can help them protect their body from the virus, but they still need to take care of themselves in the public area and other places. Giving a reward may be a solution to attract people to want to get the vaccine and the government must educate people about the side effect of the vaccine.

Imagine being vaccinated and a chance of winning a Million bucks? this is for your health and also for your future.

but why instead of million bucks make it 100 winners of 10 thousand dollars instead? so the more chance of winning is the more attraction they will get.
