Pay People to Get Vaccinated
Applied to the vaccine, if governments do decide to pay people to get vaccinated, it seems unlikely that the amount offered will constitute undue influence. Of course, some people who weren’t going to get the vaccine (or were going to wait) will decide to get it sooner, but that’s the point.

A substantial number of deaths due to opioid use are unintentional and are at least partly due to the drug’s unknown strength and composition. In British Columbia, about 80 percent of drug-related deaths in 2020 have involved illicit fentanyl. Therefore, providing people who use drugs with safe supply would address a primary source of harm.
