Biden's Covid bribe: Americans who get a booster vaccine this winter will get $20 discounts on their groceries — amid surging inflation and a sluggish rollout

The White House is offering discounts on groceries to Americans who get the new bivalent Covid booster in a desperate bid to boost uptake of the new vaccine.

People who get the Omicron-specific shot at CVS, Safeway, Winn-Dixie, or Rite Aid will get up to $20 off their purchases this winter.

It comes amid a soaring inflation crisis that has driven up the price of household staples. A recent American Farm Bureau report found Thanksgiving dinner this year will cost a whopping 20 per cent more than last year.

The new booster incentive comes ahead of a potential spike in Covid cases and hospitalizations this winter which could put pressure on already-overstretched hospitals.

Health workers are already grappling with the worst flu outbreak in 10 years and admissions caused by the common cold virus RSV — with both surges blamed on lockdowns suppressing people's immunity to seasonal bugs.

The Covid bivalent rollout has been sluggish so far with just over 11 per cent of eligible Americans five and over having rolled up their sleeves for the shot.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending aged five years and upwards gets the bivalent booster.

This contrasts with Denmark and Norway which are no longer offering jabs to non-seniors, while Sweden has said only those over 18 years old should get the shots

How about you get a new serious disease every week, which is the more likely event.

UP to $20. Don’t spend it all in one place.

Sounds like it as people normally shop every week, right?

Why doesn’t someone lock this guy up before he really hurts himself or others? Physically!!!! He’s dangerous! I bet he wouldn’t even know if he WAS locked up!

For the truly fortunate, you may be able to never have to spend another dime on groceries again

Isn’t this classical fascism? The government telling stores what to do?

That's about the booster frequency required for this shot to prevent contracting the bug.

Your arm may fall off, you may die suddenly, or you may contract myocarditis.

But hey, we ARE talking about twenty dollars.

Pfizer makes big bucks on every dose. Do you think politicians get a kick back?

This is a real cult-like sickness. They really really want to get as much of this crap into as many people as possible. Is it just about money or something else??

Nothing like a little coercion to encourage people to volunteer for a medical procedure they might otherwise avoid.

In this case it is positive coercion rather than negative coercion. Both are unethical — at least in the before times.

Same here

What good is money if the jab 💉💉💉 kills you?

Oh sure it doesn’t kill everyone so one gets to roll the dice 🎲🎲 for $20?

No.

Is this a joke? Twenty lousy bucks? To risk your health on their useless clot-shot? Anyone who takes advantage of this “offer” was likely going to get the damned shot anyway, as I doubt that there’s single vax-hesitant American who can be bought for $20. LOL.

These articles are always missing critical info. In this case, how exactly is the White House “partnering” with these companies for discounts? Are any tax dollars involved and were they authorized by congress?
