Offering a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine as an incentive for customers to deposit $500,000 into an account is highly problematic from a moral perspective. This kind of promotion creates a situation where access to a life-saving vaccine is tied to wealth and financial resources, which is both unfair and unjust.
Vaccines are a global public good and should be made available to all individuals on an equitable basis, regardless of their financial status. Allowing access to the vaccine to be determined by one’s ability to make a large deposit into a bank account is a violation of the principle of fairness and undermines efforts to achieve herd immunity.
Furthermore, linking access to a vaccine with a financial transaction implies that the vaccine is a commodity that can be bought and sold, rather than a public health measure. This sends a harmful message and can further fuel mistrust and misinformation about vaccines.
Additionally, this promotion may also create a negative image of the bank and its reputation, seen as exploiting the needs of people during a pandemic crisis.
In summary, offering a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine as an incentive for customers to deposit $500,000 into an account is highly problematic from a moral perspective as it creates a situation where access to a life-saving vaccine is tied to wealth and financial resources. This goes against the principle of fairness and undermines efforts to achieve herd immunity. Furthermore, it creates a negative image and can further fuel mistrust and misinformation about vaccines.
You are quite correct in all you say about vaccine availability.
The dilemma though is that the CCP would say everyone has access to a vaccine, Sinopharm, which is not nearly as effective as the Pfizer vaccine.
This initiative seems like a good way to give a select few Chinese citizens a choice. I am surprised the CCP even allows this promotion of a better non-Chinese vaccine.
