I like the general idea of rewarding rather than punishing to help incentivize folks getting it, so we can get to the herd immunity threshold and open things back up more safely.

I was a big fan of Delaney's idea. If there's another stimulus check in the future (and I think there will be with the way Biden wants to spend money) then I think it should require vaccinations.
But really vaccination should be its own reward. If you don't want to get vaccinated, then I'm all for letting nature run its course.
