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.

This is a sign that we have moved in to stage 2 of the vax agenda.
Stage 1 is the easy part. That’s the people who want and will seek out the vax. Stage 1 is just about tapped out at this point.
Stage 2 is for those who are lazy or just don’t care. They aren’t opposed to the vax, they just need a little prodding to get it done. That’s why we’re now seeing all the free swag being offered.
Stage 3 will be the interesting part. Compelling those opposed to the vax to get it done. How far will they go? Hard to tell. But I think the first thing they will try is a shaming campaign. We will be told that once EVERYBODY gets vaxxed, only then can we go back to normal. So if you miss the old life, blame an anti-vaxxer.
They would have to get me comatose drunk first.
😷🤒💉😁👍
Is this drink alcoholic? Drinking and driving......not a good combo and there is NOTHING that would force me to get a vaccine.
im holding out for a keg
A pandemic so deadly you have to bribe people with the possibility of a free drink to get the vax?.

When they start talking a free car, I might consider it.
Give me 10,000 shares of MVIS and I might...
OTOH, I don’t want to die from blood clots !
Make you fake proof of vaccination and get your free crap from some businesses. Take their $.
You also get a free uber lyft. And a donut.
Maybe if you ask nicely, a pot shop tax holiday.
Trying to bribe me with alcohol makes me lose respect for you.
Promoting alcohol drinking is wrong. The state should not be promoting booze.
Yup.. because it’s so obvious they care about our health when they bribe us with donuts and booze.
I'm definitely stage 2, but may move to stage 3 just to see what happens. My employer sent a mass email a week ago saying anyone who wants to work in the office needs the vax. I've been working in the office all along. At some point I presume I'll get a personal email.
I’m getting pop-up ads for tee-shirts that say
‘Vaccinated
because I’m not stupid’
I wonder how far they go when these tactics don’t work.
What’s companies, such as Sam Adams, Krispy Kreme and others started offering bribes in the form of free beer, food, etc. If you get the VAX it made me lose respect for all of them. If it was a true national medical emergency people will be lining up in droves to get it and wouldn’t need any bribes.
I have said it since it was clear this was not Bubonic Plague:
If this was a deadly pandemic where even 5-10% of people died, you wouldn’t have to bribe people to quarantine, wear masks, or get vaccinations.
People would choose to do those things. Even more, you might have people holed up in their homes with guns to keep strangers away.
It’s already at stage 3.
I’ll take the jab for one million dollars. I’ll keep one hundred thousand and give the rest to Free Republic.
This makes as much sense as the free donuts offer-first they contributed to obesity-which is a significant problem if you get Wuhan virus-now they are contributing to drinking and driving-just to get you to take a supposedly-effective and safe vaccine for a virus that has a lower mortality rate than the effects of obesity or driving while toasted-there is something seriously wrong with this picture...
