Reluctant to get vaccinated? why?

[J.B Books]

Context and truth are everything, but of course memes ignore context and truth because, well, they're memes.

To pick apart just one piece of this ridiculous (lying) meme. The stimulus package provides $350 Billion is to bail our ALL states, not just blue states. US population: 330 million divided by $350 billion = roughly $1.06 per person. A dollar and six cents. According to FOX Business,
Wyoming residents (red state) scored quite well per person: $1.36 billion for 579,000 people = $2.35 per person.
California (blue state) got $42.6 billion for 39.5 million people = $1.08 per person.
Alaska (red state) got $1.36 billion for 731,000 people = $1.86 per person

I'm not going to bother doing all the math. The point that this meme is BS has been proven.

I think your math is wrong.
$350 Billion divided by 330 million people =$1,060.61 per person
Just sayin.

Wyoming would get $2,348.88 per person ($1.36 billion divided by 579,000 people)

You're right. I stand corrected and edited accordingly. Thank you for pointing this out!
Nevertheless, the proportions stand.

I think the question in itself is violation of privacy

 

[Murrmurr]

I think to ask that question is an intrusion of privacy. Much the same as HIPPA laws but in a public forum...

...and it isn't compulsory to respond.

 

[Mr. Ed]

...and it isn't compulsory to respond.

Well you know me, here to stir the pot. We’re having stone soup tonight.

Corrections are above in bolded red - and a thanks to @J.B Books for pointing it out. My decimals were in the wrong place.

Never the less, I refer to our state senator's comment. I'm pretty sure he would know the amounts involved.
"Despite the legislation being touted as a COVID-19 relief bill, less than 10 percent of this package is related to public health".

For the record, I do not brag that I have been vaccinated, but having been so has opened doors for me.

What made him think it was supposed to be related to public health? I never heard this legislation (or the previous administration's relief bills) explained that way. This was largely focused on economic relief. Same as before. It's called a COVID Relief Bill.

So, if one listens to Senators, (whom I suppose know less about this bill than you), and they say between 90 to 91 percent of the bill has NOTHING to do with COVID RELIEF.... well, I guess I'll just have to get all my info from now on from you (who is obviously more informed than those lowly Senators).

I only said that I'd never heard or seen anything to indicate that this bill was meant to be about public health (in response to what you stated in your earlier post).

Depends on which senators you are talking about the ones who read the bill or listened when the bill was being read or the ones who were to busy reading preschool books to listen .
