In the latest attempt to persuade
young Americans to go
get vaccinated against
the Corona virus.
Joe Biden has teamed up with
dating apps, in order to provide
spicy incentives to get people to
actually go and get vaccinated.
So many popular apps will now begin
rolling out these incentives.
I'll give you a few examples,
vaccinated users on Tinder,
Hinge Bumble and Badoo, will have
access to some premium features for
free.
OkCupid, Chispa, BLK and Match
are giving out a free boost to
those who have been vaccinated so
that their profiles are more likely
to be seen first.
And Plenty of Fish is also offering
free credits to vaccinated members
for its live streaming feature.
So Biden, along with local
politicians across the country
are really trying to use
the carrots rather than the sticks
to get people vaccinated.
I think, that makes a lot of sense,
especially when there's so much
fear mongering and disinformation
out there in regard to the vaccine.
Look, let me just say one thing
before I continue with this story.
I don't know about you guys, but
I personally got like a little bit
of a buzz when I walked into my
local pharmacy didn't have to show
an insurance card didn't have to do
anything.
Just got my shot and
I walked out .didn't pay a penny,
go guys go experience what free
healthcare is like, it's awesome.
[LAUGH] It's awesome.
Free at the point
of service, of course.
>> Yeah, a friend of mine got this
shot and I had the same reaction.
And he's like, Where do I pay?
And I'm like,
I don't think you pay.
>> Yeah. >> And he's like,
what in America?
They're going to actually treat
you and make sure that you're
healthy without robbing you?
How is that possible?
And so yeah, look that's good
enough and gives you a sense of how
great every other country has, you
know they have that for everything.
Just walk in you get treated and
you never have to pay that's what
single payer health care is.
>> Yeah.
>> The propaganda of this country
is maddening, anyway,
back to the dating apps.
>> Yeah, so if you are vaccinated,
you get special badges on some of
the other dating apps.
For instance,
the dating apps will add badges or
stickers that users can include on
their profile to indicate that
they've been vaccinated.
As well as filters So that you only
swipe on fellow vaccinated people.
So you'll see if a potential mate
is vaccinated and you can make
a decision based on that.
There will also be in app links to
find your close Sista
vaccination site.
So I think this is a great idea.
I do get a little irritated that we
have to rely on gimmicks and
these types of incentives
to persuade people to just do
something that's going to keep
them healthy and safe.
But it is what it is
some people need to be persuaded.
And I'm glad that Biden,
at least in this regard,
is thinking outside the box and
working with apps that are popular.
These dating apps are incredibly
popular, so it's a smart idea.
>> Look, yeah I'm not opposed to
any of this progress I think
I won't know how they giving away
a million bucks, it's turned
into kind of like a lottery.
>> Yeah, it's a lottery.
>> Yeah They're not do that.
Can you match it?
>> Yeah. >> Everybody gets
a million bucks.
I'm moving to Ohio.
[CROSSTALK] Yeah, exactly.
>> I get vaccinated again,
who cares again and
again and again.
>> I'll change my name
every time too, vaccination fraud.
>> Yeah [LAUGH]
>> [LAUGH] There's widespread
vaccination fraud everywhere.
>> I'll bring undocumented
immigrants to get the job.
>> [LAUGH] Anyways, but yeah,
have at it, Hoss.
And I know you got to deal with
Republicans who are knuckleheads.
Ironically they need something free
to get them to do something good
for them.
But in the part that says, hey,
this person is vaccinated or
not vaccinate,
I don't know how they confirm it.
But that makes a ton of sense to me
because you might not want to
date someone who's not vaccinated,
very logical.
And what there is, it is funny,
that basically,
our government's saying.
You'll have a 14% better chance of
getting laid [LAUGH] if
you get vaccinated.
That's the incentive we're
putting out there.
>> They want to get you off folks.
>> Well, it's a sad state
of affairs if
that's what's necessary, but yes.
