You’ll love this brilliant stimulus check idea that would get you an extra $400

[Andy Meek]

• A former congressman is floating the idea to add a few hundred dollars to peoples' new stimulus check if they get themselves vaccinated for COVID-19, as a way of encouraging as many people as possible to receive the jabs that so far have been authorized from drugmakers Pfizer and Moderna.
• Former congressman John Delaney has suggested adding a few hundred dollars extra to peoples' new stimulus check to compensate them for getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
• So far, more than 1.1 million people in the US have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, according to Bloomberg's vaccine tracker.

Former congressman (and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate) John Delaney has floated this idea before. Essentially, he thinks we ought to pay people as a way to incentivize as many people as possible to get themselves vaccinated against COVID-19, and in the past, he's suggested the issuance of a new stimulus check for as much as $1,500 as one way to do that.

Now, obviously, nobody seems poised to get a new stimulus check that big anytime soon. As of the time of this writing, Congress is bickering over whether and how to accede to President Trump's demand that the $600 stimulus check amount that emerged from the COVID-19 relief bill Congress passed earlier this week be hiked to $2,000 per person. Undaunted, though, Delaney is back with a new twist on his original idea -- why not add a few hundred dollars more, say $300 or $400, to the stimulus check amounts to entice people to get vaccinated?
