Why should they be ‘bribed’ to get the vaccine, if they haven’t had it !it means they don’t want it !!!
And that’s surely where it should stop?

Agree with burlyshirley in her B/a post. We have to just live with it now.

[Sqad]

BA's invariably are given to the poster who agrees with the OPer...........it infuriates me......it happens in all sections of AB.

[dannyk13]

Sqad, as giving BA is the poster's option it would be strange if it was awarded to a contradictory answer.

[Sqad]

Danny....indeed but it would be nice to see an OPer have the guts to acknowledge an opposing opinion with a BA.

Guess not on AB eh?

[Mamyalynne]

I think it's a good scheme and of course it won't change the minds of anyone anti the vaccine but may incentivise some who just hadn't bothered.

[burlyshirley]

Blimey Sqad you don't half have a bee in your bonnet about BA's !

[dannyk13]

I do believe that I actually saw onesuch post awarded BA.

[Sqad]

shirely......yes......I do and will continue todo so.

[burlyshirley]

Oo bully for you !

[Spicerack]

Clearly the jab makes people irascible. ( more so in some cases, ;-))

[Bobbisox1]

okay sqad, perhaps I should give someone a BA that I don't happen to agree with ? How does that work then?

[Deskdiary]

Isn’t that the point of a BA?

The OP has an opinion, and somebody chimes in with an opinion the OP agrees with.

If I said something is black, I’m hardly likely to award a BA to somebody who said it was white.

////How does that work then?///

It doesn't no disrespect to burleyshirely or yourself.....it doesn't work on AB. That is why I yearn for someone with character and bravery to do so.......
But not apparently on AB in any section.

[Spicerack]

It's a sarcastic best answer, bobbi.
I give them sometimes.
Also, I often only get 1 answer so award BA for at least engaging.

[Sqad]

bobbi my love.....no big deal......nothing will change...or should it . -;)

[Mamyalynne]

I am a little surprised by your stance on this Bobbi - those of us who are in favour of the vaccine would hope to increase the pool of people who are double jabbed surely?

If that means businesses offering incentives or bribes if you prefer to the undecided or the ditherers then surely that's no bad thing.

“ Young people either want the vaccine or they do not”

As I said before, it’s probably not as simple as that. If someone genuinely doesn’t want it I doubt if they’ll be persuaded by a kebab.
I guess they are thinking that many people can’t be bothered. And maybe a little carrot (not literally, that would be not much better than the broccoli)

[Mamyalynne]

Exactly.

[Bobbisox1]

Don’t be surprised Mamya, I’m just not into bribery , that’s all

[royfromaus]

Anyone who can be bribed with a kebab needs to take a serious look at where they are in life.
