Because you didn't have a "couldn't care less" option.

The Japanese government has been under intense pressure to cancel the games, which were postponed from last year because of the pandemic.

Who cares? Half of the people sent from America, are not Americans.

They should do away with Curling and replace it with Kneeling. The USA would take all three Medals in that.

It's not worth athletes getting sick.

I'm an optimist, so I hope it will work, but I'm glad it involves those of us who are already vaccinated.

Corey Smith

Missourians can get encouraged to get a vaccine.

It remains to be seen how much the program will move Missouri's low vaccination rate of about 40%.

Eighty percent of the people are wise enough to know that they should not risk their health or their life, on a chance to win a prize that they will not win.

Melanie Cusick

Yet not wise enough to know they should not risk their life on the chance that this is all a lie. There's more likelihood they would win a drawing than there is that all those videos of Dead People Trucks outside of hospitals are fake.

Melanie Cusick

Every forum I see discussing this, anti vaxxers are saying "being bribed won't change my mind."

Adam Schrader

Won't work because to many Mirrourians are morons

Melanie Cusick

Not sure what correlation max is making between "moron" and "liberal city." The map of states with low Vax rates and high cases correlate to Red States. Who's the moron- risking certain death to covid, or risking *maybe* unknown outcomes from the vax? I'd say avoid death now but I'm a libtard.

Max

And most of them live in liberal cities.

Only so they won't be abused by government and school officials.

Adam Schrader

Damn right I am. Far too many idiots out there not doing the right thing. A responsible parent does everything they can to ensure their child's safety and well being. Including vaccinations

Wendi Newman

This vaccine is safer than covid and vaccinations are the only chance we have to stop this virus and prevent mutations.

Adam Schrader

Amen Wendi!
