West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced on Tuesday that residents who receive the COVID-19 vaccine will be entered into a lottery that includes prizes of customized firearms and $1 million.

The initiative, which aims to incentivize residents to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, will begin weekly drawings on Father’s Day, June 20, ending on Aug. 4.

“To be eligible, you have got to get your first shot,” said Justice. “When I start through these prizes … there’s going to be a run on people getting their first shot. So go get ’em. Go get ’em so you’ll be eligible where we can draw your name, and absolutely you could win something that would be phenomenal.”

The June 20th prizes include five customized hunting rifles, five customized hunting shotguns, two pickup trucks, five lifetime hunting and fishing permits and one $1 million grand prize.

For vaccinated West Virginians between the ages of 12 and 25, there are also two four-year scholarships for any educational institution in the state up for grabs.

If my state, California did that, I would find it difficult, though not impossible to Just Say No.
As it is, there is near zero chance of Gov. Gavin Nusiance allowing any such thing to happen over here.

I got my first shot in January and all I got was the hangover from hell followed by hot flashes.

Yeah.

The only way they’ll get my pink ass in line for that crap is with the gun pointed at my dogs’ heads.

It better be a Dillon electric gatling gun with a cargo container full of ammo or no deal.

Smart!

Would be even smarter to offer ten $100,000 prizes instead.

If you've never seen this Bohemian Rhapsody parody/ode to menopause, I encourage you to spend 4 min. I'm told it's 100% accurate.

Notice the silence from the gun grabbers - what does that tell you?

That would cover the cost of the funerals if the winners die outright post-vax, but will not cover the cost of long-term disability and hospitalizations caused by the ‘vaccinations’.
