Getting America vaccinated will go a long way toward helping the country return to some sort of normal.
Already, employers such as Instacart, Target, Trader Joe’s, Chobani, Petco, Darden Restaurants, McDonald’s, and Dollar General are among a growing list of companies giving workers time off and extra money to get vaccinated for Covid-19.
Kroger is awarding employees $100 in store credit in addition to a one-time $100 payment for taking the vaccine. Publix said it would give associates a $125 gift card to use in the store after they get both doses.
For its part, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is offering anyone — employed or not — with proof of a Covid vaccination a free doughnut.
The Greenhouse of Walled Lake, a marijuana dispensary in Walled Lake, Michigan, is giving anyone over the age of 21 with proof of vaccination a free pre-rolled joint. The “Pot for Shots” promotion is a “way of saying thank you for helping to end this pandemic and getting us back to normal,” the dispensary said.
So, it is a good thing that the government cares so much about our health and well-being and that we all have Government-subsidized Health Care for free medical perks, like pot and doughnuts, when we make ourselves sick from getting free government shots.
