If your incentive is distribution of the money, potentially yes. But like a real lottery I think this is about taking advantage of people's low statistical knowledge banking on hitting it big. I quite like it
- kube-system 5y agoIt's a good, hilariously ironic, and slightly sad idea. People are afraid of taking a vaccine because they don't understand the statistically minuscule possibility of serious side-effects? Give them a statistically minuscule positive incentive to balance it out!
- mbg721 5y agoThe people who really distrust the vaccine will just think, "Gee, the same government that manipulated everyone into thinking they were all going to die is now manipulating them into thinking they'll win the lottery." This won't convince them, but it might appeal to the sense of greed of the ones who are just lazy and don't like mild side-effects.
