Republican West Virginia Gov. announces custom gun giveaway in bid to boost COVID-vaccination rate

WND: Republican Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia has announced that his state will attempt to boost its number of vaccinated residents in a uniquely Mountain State way.

Justice said on Tuesday that as an incentive to get more West Virginians vaccinated against the coronavirus, the state will offer custom guns, cash and other perks for a select few in the state who choose to enter into summer lotteries for those who lift up their sleeves.

Following the lead of states which have created lotteries to promote the number of those who choose to get vaccinated, West Virginia will enter people who get at least one shot into a weekly lottery that offers a lot of cash and prizes, WTRF-TV reported. Those prizes differ, though, when compared with other state vaccine giveaways.

Each lottery will offer the winner $1 million, while some will also receive prizes such as two full-ride scholarships to institutions in the state for people 12 to 25-years-old. The lottery program also gives away two Ford pickup trucks, 25 free getaways to state parks, lifetime fishing and hunting licenses, five custom hunting rifles and five custom shotguns throughout its duration. more

  1. The company I work for is going to get stickers for our hard hats that says ‘vaccinated’ if you got stuck. Meaning you don’t have to wear a mask and showboating our good behavior. I almost asked why not a yellow star.
    Ran into a couple of homeowners in the stairwell at the condos I was working at, they asked me which way I was going so they didn’t have to pass me even though I was wearing a mask.
    The world is definitely insane.
