Beers for everyone - on the House...
If the United States reaches the President's vaccination goal by the Fourth of July, Anheuser-Busch will buy all adults a round of beer.
Sounds patriotic to me - I wonder how long before this thread gets locked, it's a positive thread, not a complaint or political, but I am betting it lasts about a day - LOL! (BTW: I don't drink anything - anymore - and don't recommend any does, but I think it is nice to see a company pitching in and trying to help) |

Free beer if you already got your shots? Haha. More free stuff.
|
So the assessment is....all it takes is to offer a free beer.
What does that indicate?! |

So, you are right, this forum can find anything to criticize, condemn or complain about and Dale Carnegie would be soiling his drawers. It brings out the WORST in all of us sometimes. Yesterday, for the first time in my LIFE, I accused someone of using an ethnic slur on ME on this forum. I will join the celebration if people meet this goal and have a non-alcoholic Yeungling. This is nothing on this earth as good as a cold GERMAN beer on a hot day. |

I never particularly liked A&B beers when I was drinking, but it's the gesture I appreciate. Corporate responsibility is so lacking today, any sign of it is refreshing.

Good for Busch.
Proving once and for all that people need to be frightened, coerced or bribed to get the covid replicant vaccine. |
I must admit that I was a bit surprised by AB offering the free beer. Anything to get us “over the hump” and get to herd immunity and things back to some sort of “normal” is welcome. Some States are offering a lottery for people to get vaccinated. Obviously most residents of The Villages are already vaccinated even if they are not a fan of shots and some did it “for the better good”. There are a few, like a person I know, can’t get the shot for medical reasons. Another person I know who got Covid, lives in another State, recovered got the shot anyway. Good for him...

According to The Villages Daily Sun only 55% of people over 55 in Sumter County have been vaccinated.
Appointments have not been necessary for a week or two now for all persons above the age of 12. Apparently interest in vaccinations is on the wane. |

1/3 of global beer market is AB/InBev a Belgian company.... they could put the vaccine in the beer - and solve the problem
|
I can see the villagers lining up for free stuff now. and when they order, these cheapskates will ask "is this free?" and if these cheapskates get it for free, they will only leave a .50 cent tip....I get embarrassed by my friends, who are really cheapskates, and stiff waiters and waiters constantly.....I call them pikers.. they will order an ice tea, and charge it....

I am vaccinated but i would not get vaccinated for a donut or a beer. Would you?
These “give aways” are a form of advertising for companies. |
Free Beer! Well that changes everything!! Sure I’ll join the largest vaccine trial in history for a free beer! Forget the fact that no one has any idea of whether there will be long term health issues associated with these vaccines, we are talking about a FREE Beer!

Why do they need to keep pushing the vaccine with rewards? Very suspicious!
Quote:
Look into why the government and their cronies need to keep rewarding everyone who gets the dangerous vaccine. Nano particles and other dangerous materials included. |
Everyone knows this most people don’t care no need to post what’s on the news ! Especially him

The gubmunt isn't offering the donuts and beer. Its the donuts and beer companies that are offering this. It is a GIMMICK. I personally do not think there is much risk involved in getting these vaccines to trigger your body to build immunity to the Covid-19 virus which is MOST dangerous to folks over 70. Most deaths have been to older people. Most die of a dangerously new pneumonia that clogs the lungs with stuffy sticky mucous and makes it impossible for the body to get enough oxygen to survive. This happens to OLDER People most of all, but being very sick is not limited to older people. NO ONE on this earth has met THIS particular virus before. I am still amazed and astonished and delighted to see that the scientists in our WORLD were able to develop a vaccine that is VERY effective in such a short time. We know that they did not start from scratch as much was known about the family of this virus. We do know that some side effects have been serious. It appears that clotting issues have happened with the Astra-Zeneca and Johnson and Johnson form of vaccine to a VERY FEW woman who appear to be younger and still ovulating. I know I have not convinced you, or even got your attention. If you believe that it is dangerous, it is YOUR right to not take the jab. My goal from the beginning was to keep my name and the names of anyone I love off the park benches that are scattered around The Villages. |
Meanwhile, vaccine lotteries seem to be effective in getting people motivated to vaccinate. People who absolutely refuse to get one, will still not get one, and hey it's their funeral, at this point. Thoughts and prayers I guess, if they get sick and insurance companies finally get wise and say "nope, ain't gonna cover this."
But those who are on the fence, or who were thinking "yeah yeah I know I need to, maybe tomorrow" - will now have that nudge to "just do it" as they say in the Nike-verse. |

Insurance companies are in business to make money, if they begin losing money to large numbers of cases requiring long-term expensive health care intervention, then the odds are they will "wise up" and charge more or refuse to cover. |

I personally think Health Insurance is a crime. I think holding people's children's health hostage is a criminal and despicable act. That said, I believe the health insurance companies will do whatever they can get away with to make more money. Period. Full Stop. Notice I did not mention if what they decide on is legal, I don't think that matters to them, it is simply yet another cost consideration in their decision making. So, yes, I think insurance companies will do anything, including refusing to cover people, charging more, and dropping coverage for any reason they can come up with. I had a close friend that worked for an insurance company. She was in a department called "Loss Prevention". Her job was to find ways to NOT pay medical bill claims that would otherwise be covered by the policy. She was VERY good at her job. |

There's this funny little thing called "natural consequences." Some examples: If you bang your head hard enough on a brick wall, you just might end up with a cracked skull. That would be a natural consequence. Another example: if you walk into a bank, unmasked, unarmed, and tell the bank teller out loud that you will need to rob her and for her to give over all her money, you'll most likely be arrested. Natural consequence. Another example: if you cross the street without looking both ways during rush hour at a busy intersection, you will most likely be hit by a car, OR cause the cars around you to hit each other in the process of avoiding you. That's a natural consequence. Action, reaction. If enough people refuse to vaccinate, and have no valid medical reason to refuse, and in turn end up with COVID-19, the insurance companies might very well start saying "we will only cover your COVID-19 illness if you are either vaccinated, or have a valid medical reason for refusing." And since they're the health insurance company, they get to decide what a "valid medical reason" is. Natural consequence. It's not a threat, it's not a wish. It's just one of those things that are likely to happen as a reaction to an action. |
