In an attempt to increase the number of people getting vaccinated all kind of incentives are being given in the US, one of the most interesting is that those that get at least the first dose of the vaccine at Ohio will have a chance to win one million dollars, apparently there will five be prizes so a total five million dollars will be given for those that are willing to take the vaccine, and for those that are below the age of 18 there will be full scholarships being offered as well.

What do you think of this? Do you agree with what the governor of Ohio is doing or are you against it?

In my opinion, this is a very strange management decision by the Governor of Ohio. 

The goal of the Covid-19 coronavirus vaccination is the safety of the patient, his friends and relatives.  As well as the safety of other people (US citizens).  It is not very clear how this relates to the lottery.  The lottery is a game of chance. 

The lottery is able to stimulate only gambling people to vaccinate. 

At the same time, total vaccination is needed to defeat Covid-19.
