During a July 21 press conference about Colorado s battle against COVID-19, Governor Jared Polis announced a new incentive for residents who were not convinced to get vaccinated against the disease in exchange for a chance to win $1 million in a recently concluded series of drawings: a $100 Walmart gift card for each eligible person of any age willing to get jabbed. I know it means a lot to a single mom with three kids twelve to seventeen to go get $400, Polis said.
This wasn t the only new giveaway intended to boost inoculations. The event the first COVID-focused Polis press conference in some time also featured the unveiling of Shot at a Scholarship, a program aimed at community college students in the state funded by a gift from Amazon cumulatively valued at $75,000 (an amount we d estimate as being equivalent to one micro-drop of fuel maybe for the rocket that blasted Amazon founder Jeff Bezos into the lower level of space yesterday).
