Ed, I clicked your link, was reading it, then clicked the "read more" in it which brought up this from CBS Chicago.
Any bold italics are from me:
Asked about the city’s “Vax Pass” initiative, Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city is “constantly looking at ways in which we can incentivize folks to get the vaccine.”
“We’re going to be looking at ways in which we can incentivize people to get vaccinated, and do that by looking at preferred seating, preferred admission. So that’s still very much a work in progress, and we’ll have more to say on that in the coming days,” she said.
The mayor said vaccinations among the city’s Black population are still lagging behind every other demographic.
“So we really need – particularly 18 to 44, where we’re seeing the lowest uptake – we need you to get vaccinated. Do it, of course, for yourself; but for your family, for your grandparents,” Lightfoot said. “There’s plenty of opportunity now all over the city to get vaccinated for free – let me emphasize that, for free. So don’t be a bystander. Get in the game. Get yourself vaccinated.”
On Tuesday, Doctor Allison Arwady, head of the Chicago Department of Public Health, said the “Vax Pass” is another way to convince people to get the COVID shot.
“Younger people in particular may be excited about the idea of getting into events for example that might be limited to people who are vaccinated,” Arwady said. “So we’re exploring some possibilities of concerts or events that might not be just youth focus, but would probably have a youth flavor to it. We’re working with some club organizers and others and there will be more information coming.”
Arwady added that the city is working on another vaccine-related initiative called “Vax and Relax” that could provide special offers for people who’ve already gotten their shot.
“Working with the barbershops and beauty salons nail salons. The main incentive, I would hope is to get a vaccine, but if I had the opportunity to get a free haircut or get my nails done in this sort of more of a like let’s celebrate the fact that this is how we are going to get past COVID,” Arwady said.
She added that the outreach to get more people to get the COVID vaccine is to possibly go to where they are.
“Where are places you’re waiting? You might wait at a laundromat. It’s not that they’ve said I don’t want to get a vaccine it’s just maybe not first on their list of things to do,” Arwady said. “Thinking of creative ways to get the vaccine available where people are anyway, is really going to be central to some of our strategy.”
Are people waking up to see the CONTROL and MANIPULATION behind this now????
And I'm not saying to do it or not, but seriously WHY people ask yourselves just WHY you're choosing to get jabbed....
I'm near enough to the Chicago area to get some of their radio stations. Had it on Moody Radio the other day and they were talking about how it is highly probable that it wont be government pushing for vaccine passports because all these companies are playing into them and doing the dirty work for them by offering these manipulative incentives. Sick...
I also heard on Moody that Wrigley Field is now a cashless venue.
Cards and mobile app orders ONLY.
For those attending who only carry cash they have installed reverse ATM machines that will TAKE YOUR CASH and print you a receipt with the value, which is in barcode form and could then be scanned.
You know what is scary about that (besides all the obvious ) is that people are so careless with receipts falling and getting lost.
Seriously, how many ladies open their wallet or purse to get something only to have to rummage through a pocket FULL of receipts? Receipts falling out everywhere. (of course, for those who have already gone cashless and do EVERYTHING mobile, this isn't an issue)
Not to mention that most receipts printed nowadays start fading the moment you touch them or fold them.
