Employers Want You To Get Vaccinated. This One Is Offering A $1,000 Bonus

Look up Cleveland Cliffs, they are paying $3k per employee vaccination if their plant reaches 75% rate. Guess what, it worked

All my son got was $40.

Cheddar is better. Imagine if the Fed govt gave vaccinated people a $10k tax deduction? Vast majority of country would get it done.

There would still be a lot of people who think the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus and they don't want to die.

Do you think they’ll change their minds after a certain amount of time goes by? People have been walking around after getting the vaccines going on almost 6 months now. Even longer if you count trial participants.

I’d say the data looks good enough to convince them, but I guess we’re beyond data and evidence with that crowd.

potential long term side effects (12 months? 12 years?)

first time mRNA has been used in a vaccine

False.

Totally accurate. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is absolutely the first vaccine to use mRNA. And it's potentially the best thing that has ever happened in immunology history because of the years it shaves off trying to find a safe way to deliver an altered virus because there is no virus in an mRNA vaccine.

https://ec.europa.eu/research-and-innovation/en/horizon-magazine/five-things-you-need-know-about-mrna-vaccine-safety

“mRNA can most easily be described as instructions for the cell on how to make a piece of the “spike protein” that is unique to SARS-CoV-2. Since only part of the protein is made, it does not do any harm to the person vaccinated but it is antigenic.

“After the piece of the spike protein is made, the cell breaks down the mRNA strand and disposes of them using enzymes in the cell. It is important to note that the mRNA strand never enters the cell’s nucleus or affects genetic material.

“This information helps counter misinformation about how mRNA vaccines alter or modify someone’s genetic makeup.

“All that’s being injected is a nucleic acid sequence which codes the immune system into making antibodies against the COVID and teaching the lymphocytes how to fight COVID. It does nothing else at all. That’s why this idea that it could do catastrophic harm is wrong.”

mRNA was first tested as a potential vaccine delivery method in 1990 but has never been used in a vaccine until 2020. However, mRNA has been used in cancer treatments for almost a decade.

Technically you're correct, but people who assert that this is the first mrna vaccine do so to imply that it is brand new and untested, thereby discrediting it. It's not.

This is a bullshit excuse to pretend that you weren't wrong. Because you're embarrassed.

u/clutchthirty 18d ago

Oooh, tell me more about myself, internet stranger. You're so wise and insightful.

u/Vladimus44 18d ago

Sure thing!

You're replying to me now instead of ignoring my comment and moving on because I hit a nerve.

Do you know what % of Americans pay no Federal taxes at all?

u/papaswamp 19d ago edited 18d ago

They still file taxes so they would get money back. To answer your question… 2020 I believe the figure was 60% paid zero taxes or received a full refund (+).

u/waltwhitman83 19d ago

full refund of all federal taxes they paid for the year?

that’s just a synonym of making less than like… $60k/yr per person right?

that’d be $8,160 in yearly federal tax liability

i’m not sure

quick google shows you’d get $1.9k of that back on a standard deduction

that’s still $6,300 in federal taxes paid on a meager $60k salary

even if you say “omg deductions”, the deductions would have to be more than $12k to be worth itemizing? unlikely.

u/Lightweightecon 19d ago

I like this idea, but I know people would criticize it on behalf of the medical exempted or religious exemption. The former I have empathy for; the latter….not so much.

u/Castlewood57 19d ago

Heck even a 2k or 5k would get most people in.

u/1to14to4 19d ago

Choice of tax deduction or a gun and you'd get even more people.

u/dr4wn_away 18d ago

It’s really annoying that a bunch of dickheads get this when reasonable people that deserve $1000 or free beer or whatever already got vaccinated for free.

Put a price on yourself, then. Maybe don't instantly roll over at every edict that gets issued if you want some cash or whatever. I mean, what do you want??
