The State of North Carolina upped its game when it comes to the direct payments it’s making to those who now choose to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
And the state even has some money for the horse that brought you – or, actually, for the driver that brought you – to get the shot.
On Tuesday, Aug. 3, as part of its ongoing effort to convince more North Carolinians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 the state is offering $100 cash cards, called “Summer Cards,” at many vaccine sites in the state.
That’s being done, according to state officials, “to offset the time and transportation costs of getting vaccinated.”
Really, though, it’s being done as a straight-up monetary bribe to get people into chairs and shots in arms.
From Wednesday, Aug. 4 through Tuesday, Aug. 31, the $100 Summer Cards are available to anyone 18 and older who gets their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at a participating site.
The offer is good “while supplies last.”
About a half dozen sites in Guilford County are offering the deal. People can find the one closest to them using the following link: https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine-incentives?mc_cid=fa0083e8d3&mc_eid=01df2fc38a
In addition to the $100 Summer Card for those who get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the state is still offering $25 cash cards to those who drive others to their appointments. At the completion of a vaccination, those drivers get a $25 card. They get one each time they take someone to a first dose appointment.
According to information from the state regarding the program, “This helps offset the costs for those who help family, friends and neighbors find their spot for a vaccine and drive them to their shots.”
There’s no limit on the number of times someone can drive people to a vaccination appointment, however, a driver will only get one card for each visit even if he or she brings in a truckload of people.
So far, more than 61 percent of North Carolina’s adults have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Those with questions about the $100 Summer Card and $25 Summer Card for drivers can call 888-675-4567 or get answers and find a participating location near them.
“People sell their soul in such small quantities – a seemingly trivial compromise here, a rationalization of a minor evil there – that they don’t realize what they’re doing until it is too late.”

What … in the heck are you saying?
It should be obvious, but Just Sayin is telling you small bits of freedom are lost when people march to the drumbeat of the government.
Who is the genius who thought this up?
May we have the name,please?
Considering one of the now known side effects of that monkey juice is death, I’ll pass thank you.
Promise that when your gasping for breath, you will put your big boy pants on and stay home and take your chances and not cry like a infant begging to be incubated so you can breath
OK, but you have to promise us that you won’t whine when you: 1 – get sick with some variant of covid, because the genetic experiment vaccination only trains your immune system on one specific genetic pattern, 2 – start feeling immense pain from the blood clots caused by all the spike proteins floating around in your blood, or 3 – find out that your otherwise healthy heart has enlarged for no reason.
I know the vast majority of people who have been vaccinated have had no problems. But the fact that this untested vaccine could cause these serious side effects is enough for me to say no. On top of that, there are too many inconsistencies throughout this whole thing, where what little trust I may have had in our government is now completely gone. We now know some of the short term side effects, thanks to those who were so eager to be lab rats. What are some of the long term side effects? Sterility? Paralysis? Death? We won’t know until the long term side effects start showing up in the millions of people who have been vaccinated.
If covid was so serious, and this vaccine was so great, we wouldn’t need to be bribed or coerced into taking it. Hundreds of thousands of people die from the flu every year, but we don’t mandate the flu vaccine, or threaten to fire people if they don’t take the flu vaccine. This whole thing has been ridiculous from the very start, and only gets worse with each day that goes by.
According to you on the left, I’m going to die from covid if I don’t vaccinated. Isn’t that what all of you on the left want? For everyone that disagrees with you to just die? How about you on the left just leave us alone and let us die on our terms, if that’s what it comes to, not the government’s.
How is this fair? We got both our Covid shots this past winter. Can we get our $200 now? Or is it $400 since we each made two trips? Can we get another $50 for bringing a relative? How is this fair?
Our state & local governments are awash with Federal Stimulus money. Where did this money come from? Do we have to pay it back, in Spades? Hmm?
I have read that the Small Business Association will be forgiving up to $150,000 to EACH of up to 7 million small business loans.
I have also read that Colleges across the country are forgiving up to $2,000 in loans per student. They were loans, so now they were gifts? Can I get one of those loans? And tell me, what about the people who lent the money (us), do we get our money back, or was it just extorted from us?
Oh, another thing, we paid for our educations, and our children’s. Can we have that back, too? President Biden ducked that question while on the campaign trail. Is anyone asking him that, now?
I don’t care if it’s $1,000! I will NOT SELL MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL! TO GET THIS DEATH JAB! Why can’t people see what the ulterior motive is?
The gene therapy shot irreparably changes your DNA: it’s becoming obvious, from the so called breakthrough infections, that the shot has not stopped infections. To date, over 11,000 people have died from complications arising from the shot and several hundred thousand people adversely affected with blood clots, heart problems, paralysis with thelikes of Bell’s Palsy and Guillane-Barr syndrome. It’s amazing how little some folks will sell not only their souls but their futures as well. If your shot “goes south”, you have no recourse- the vaccine makes are totally indemnified against all liability.
Truth. Yet we’re spoken to like dogs for not drinking the kool-aid. Ain’t it great?
The least patriotic, the least civic-minded, the least responsible, and the most reprehensible pieces of near-human garbage are to blame for the constant never-ending trauma this nation and world are going through. Shame on all of you science-denying LOSERS. L O S E R S.
I’m not responsible for your health and well being any more than you’re responsible for mine. Get off your high horse, and just let people live their own lives.
