LOS ANGELES (AP) — California is giving away the country’s largest pot of vaccine prize money, $116.5 million, in an attempt to get millions more inoculated before the most populous U.S. state fully reopens next month. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced the prizes, which also include the nation's highest single vaccine prize: $1.5 million.

California's reopening is pegged for June 15, and on that day a drawing will be held to award 10 vaccinated people the top prize .

Another 30 people will win $50,000 each, with those drawings starting June 4. Anyone 12 and older who has received at least one shot will be eligible.

And the next 2 million people who get vaccinated will get $50 gift cards.

Last week a $600 stimulus check. This week a bribe.

Yes, I always make my healthcare decisions based on a $50 gift card.

Is this the Bee? It seems unreal they are trying to bribe people to take a vaccine to protect against a virus that is not a statistical threat to everyone under 65 years old in reasonably good health.

If the vax is so good, why do they have to bribe people to get it? Oh, wait. I just answered my own question.

This is truly sick. Could there be a bigger red flag to stay away from this vaccine and probably every vaccine moving forward.

people are literally insane.

bribing people to take an experimental shot that is causing more and more recorded problems

and now we find they are undercounting cases and wont even record some cases, to keep the numbers down

absolutely moronic insane

let him offer his own personal money as prizes

not taxpaywr money

its insane for govt to bribe people to take an untested highly rushed experimental vaccine

ifnyou believe its for yoyr health you are beyond hope

there are other reasons and none of them are good

or since when did you go from trusting the government that they have yoyr best interests at heart?

and if you say this is science you are full of crap

its politicized pseudoscience, it has an agenda, fauxci has an agenda, gates has an agenda, and its not to keep you healthy

you’re lost if you believe that

Hell, a jab has to be worth as much as a vote is now.

The grand prize “winners” will get enough to cover their funeral expenses when the long-term effects of their ‘lethal injection’ finally kick in.

For the rest: “Thanks for playing!”

These are your modern day Jim Crow laws, separating citizens by health choices rather than race. Should be unconstitutional, but Democrats are allowed to get away with anything.

The California lottery officials and Governor Newsom need to be brought up on charges for running a rigged lottery.

Rigged? You bet. The fix is in. Does anyone believe that the State of California would run the risk of selecting a "winner" who lost their life due to complications from the experimental treatment?

If the ‘vaccines’ are so great, why do they have to bribe people to take them?
