I disagree as well.
Starting at the top - @jameshohmann - you are using moral hazard incorrectly in this case.
You are implying it is a moral hazard to give rewards to individuals to get vaccinated.
When in reality, it is to our society's benefit to get

all vaccinated. Individuals will bear the cost of getting sick- but our society will suffer a far greater loss in terms of impact to productivity, etc.
Additionally, since we as a society benefit, it is only natural that the government is going to be the entity to make that

We are not the United States of Walmart, quite yet.
But that is only looking at immediate costs.
There is also a long term cost from "late effects". SARS-COV-2 is a virus as is polio.

20 million former polio sufferers are now suffering from PPS, 15 to 40 years after the fact.
This is not unusual for viruses. Just not well known.

Moving on, you actually undercut your own case.

Next, my apologies, but I have to call this out.
You link to research that shows cash works to increase vaccination. And try to discount it by saying, "Duh!"

But in Ohio, we see it's NOT backfiring. And the research that you linked to, also shows it works.

One last thought - you are incorrect in assigning the pejorative label of selfish to those who are vaccine hesitant.
I'd recommend you follow @gorskon @PeterHotez amongst others for a deeper understanding of that complex topic.
