free shot for a shot? That could be a real possibility in Connecticut starting in the coming weeks.

During his press conference Monday, Gov. Ned Lamont announced a new incentive campaign to encourage people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The new program is called "#CTDrinksOnUs."

Like Krispy Kreme or Budweiser, the new campaign will offer a free drink for those able to show their vaccine cards.

Lamont said the restaurants participating will be "chipping in" in terms of cost for the free drinks, while the state will promote the campaign.

A pandemic so deadly you have to bribe people with the possibility of a free drink to get the vax?.

Also, where in MADD on the state promoting drinking an likely driving? If someone dies or is injured in a crash as a result if the free drink, will the press say Lamont has blood on his hands?

If the vaccine is so great, why do they need to bribe people to get it?

If they have to sell this by being pushy, they’re selling a sick pig.

They’re going to outright give people cash to get the jab next.
I don’t care, I am not getting vaccinated.

I’m not Anti-Vax by a long shot, but when Government is doing the Hard Sell to push this, something just plain stinks to high heaven.
The harder they try to “sell” this, the more determined I’m to tell them to piss off.

No, but buy a fake card for $10 and you’ve still got $15 to gamble.

How trite.

This is people’s health.

Its an experimental treatment with no long term data, and more and more negative stuff is learned about it every day.

This is like doctors endorsing various brands of cigarettes.

Yes folks, our holy “science” industry was on radio and tv plugging cancer sticks.

But trust tgem.
