Your COVID-19 Shot Comes With A Free Beer Under A New Illinois Law (wbez.org)

Get the shot, then relax with a shot, or a beer.

That’s the incentive for people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 under legislation Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed Wednesday.

The Democrat’s action came on the same day President Joe Biden announced a “month of action,” including beer, sports tickets, and other lures, to get people in line for the needle and meet his goal of having 70% of Americans vaccinated by July 4.

“Not only will the vaccine protect you from getting sick — your free COVID-19 shot can now get you a free shot of your choosing or whatever drink suits your palate,” Pritzker said in a prepared statement.

The Illinois plan, sponsored by Rep. Mike Zalewski of Riverside and Sen. Sara Feigenholtz of Chicago, both Democrats, intends to draw customers back to the bar by offering a free drink with proof of vaccination.

Un-Friggin-Believable

They think everybody down-state is just a bunch of dumb rednecks and this is what will draw them.

Change my mind

Yours truly, Downstate Redneck....

edit: ask the struggling bar owners what they think of that! "intends to draw customers back to the bar by offering a free drink" ?? Giving free beer ain't gonna be much help, lol.
