De Blasio: Get “The Jab” And Get A Free Burger And Fries

Comrades!

Bribery continues to be the preferred method used to coax Americans into getting “the jab” with states, cities, and corporations offering freebies to those who line up and roll up their sleeves.

The latest Democrat politician to pitch free stuff is New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who has teamed up with the fast food chain Shake Shack to offer free burgers and fries to those who get vaccinated.

The promotion comes as Joe Biden’s ambitious goal of getting the vaccines into the arms of 70 percent of Americans has run into stiff headwinds with many remaining “vaccine hesitant” and concerned about the safety of a product that was rushed to market under emergency use authorization without the years of testing that are normally required for approval.

De Blasio chowed down on a burger during a Thursday press conference where he made his big announcement. “Free fries when you get vaccinated,” said Hizzoner as he munched away, adding “I got vaccinated, You’re saying I could get this, these delicious fries? Wait a minute, but there’s also a burger element to this?”

Mayor de Blasio continued; “I want you to look at this and think about, again some people love hamburgers and some don’t. We want to respect all ways of life,” he said. “But if this is appealing to you, think about this when you think of vaccination.”

“Mmm, vaccinations, I’m getting a very good feeling about vaccination right at this moment.” He said between bites.

According to Shake Shack’s website;  “At Shake Shack, we Stand for Something Good® in everything we do. That means supporting our employees and protecting the communities we call home. As a business born and raised in New York City, we’re excited to team up with the NYC Mayor’s Office to help get more New Yorkers vaccinated – with the help of Shack of course!”

As an added bonus, “Shake Shack is “servin’ up free Crinkle Cut Fries to vaccinated New Yorkers with the purchase of any burger or chicken sandwich,” but the offer is limited to “plain Crinkle Cut Fries only,” so no cheese fries.

The idea of free burgers for the vaccine was floated last week by former Democrat senator and current MSNBC political analyst Claire McCaskill who suggested to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky that the agency should hand out coupons for free McDonald’s Big Macs to those who get their shot.

Other promotions that have been used to lure people in order to meet Biden’s metrics include New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy offering free beer for “the jab” to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s new $1 million lottery drawing for vaccine recipients.

Food from Shake Shack isn’t the only freebie that New Yorkers can score; Governor Andrew Cuomo previously announced that fans who get jabbed at Yankee Stadium or Cit Field will get free tickets to the Big Apple’s two Major League Baseball teams.

When it comes to the COVID response, New York’s was among the worst in the nation under the “leadership” of Cuomo and de Blasio who wielded dictatorial powers to lock down and strip residents of their civil liberties and led the nation in deaths. The staggering numbers were greatly inflated by the governor’s policies to send infected patients into nursing homes, resulting in the deaths of thousands of the state’s most vulnerable elderly citizens.

Whether or not such giveaways are able to significantly move the needle to spare Biden from a major political embarrassment is yet to be determined.
