GOP Congressman: Give $1,400 stimulus checks to people who get the COVID-19 vaccine

One Republican Congressman says instead of sending stimulus checks to every qualifying American, direct payments should go to people who receive the coronavirus vaccine.
“I hope the administration will look at that option because we actually buy something with our $1,400 — and that’s herd immunity,” said Rep. Steve Stivers (R., Ohio) in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live.
President Joe Biden has called for individual $1,400 payments in his $1.9 trillion relief plan — which some Republicans argue is too much and some progressives say is too little. Stivers opposes additional stimulus checks as the proposal currently stands.

As if we're not setting enough bad precedents by having the government deposit money into people's bank accounts, now this fool wants to allow the government to deposit money into people's accounts once they've completed some government ritual??!!

I don't how that could go wrong.
