Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been mocked mercilessly for posting a bizarre photo of herself with cash on the floor that read, 'Get Vax'd' on Twitter on Thursday night as a way to promote the city's new vaccine campaign.
The strange photo, posted on Twitter, shows Lightfoot standing next to the cash totaling $826 with the caption: 'The message is clear. Get vaccinated from the comfort of your home and this stack could be yours.'
The 'Get Vax'd' message was comprised of 41 $20 bills, a $5 bill, and a $1 bill for the apostrophe.
The odd post from the mayor is meant to encourage Chicago residents to call the city's Department of Health to make an at-home appointment for a vaccine shot and be entered into a raffle to win the cash.
However, the post drew immediate criticism online as people mocked the cash incentive for the vaccine and likened Lightfoot's appearance in the photo to that of a comic book villain.
One Twitter user with the name Evan V was among the many who shared a photo of Lightfoot photoshopped into the Batman villain, The Riddler, with the cash prize instead spelling out' Get The Bat.'
Many online were also quick to point out the bizarre amount for the cash prize, mocking the single dollar bill used as an apostrophe in Lightfoot's photo.

Another Twitter user with the name Mister Haledaddy expressed his bewilderment at how the odd cash-prize campaign came to be, writing:' Somebody thought this was a good idea. Then, other people thought it was too. Then they actually did it. Then they looked at their product and again thought this was a great idea. Then they published it. This right here is an obvious case of group think right?'

This has got to be a Babylon Bee thing, right?!?
Will that “haul” be delivered by armored car?
I guess we can see what end of the couch she gets serviced at
She looks like an undertaker in the waiting room.
LOL x 2.
LOL, my first thought.
$826 doesn’t look like a lot of money from the second floor of her living room. Her couch costs less than that.
Who thought up this photo shoot?????
oh wait...not her living room. Still, the couch looks cheap, and the cushions don’t match. That’s the “Martha Stewart” in me coming out.
It’s probably a casting couch used by previous male mayors.
Pretty easy to see where she sits on her sofa! Ewwww!
The couch wouldn't look out of the place at a frat house.
right? $826... i mean how random is that???
So so many good men and women fought and died
so that our fine country could get this messed up.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry

Lol, raffling off $800. At least give more than $800 outright for people to risk their lives.
Wait. Am I reading this correctly?
They’re offering to let you self-vaccinate and self-report?
Seems like that’d be a pretty easy mandate workaround.
