The problem is that the vaccine actually does none of that. It makes you more susceptible to infection and puts you at greater risk of hospitalization. This is the problem when propaganda meets facts. People spew headlines and donâ(TM)t bother to investigate the data. Then you come and judge everyone else for not injecting themselves with this experimental gene therapy. I swearâ¦

Not true at all. The leading UBI plan for the US contemplates giving all citizens $1000 per month.
  $1,000 a month for everyone would cost approximately $2.7 trillion annually, which represents around four to five times the size of the defense budget and 15 percent of the GDP. In his book, Stern proposed paying for the $2.7 trillion as follows:

Cancel most existing antipoverty programs, which cost about $1 trillion a year, including food stamps ($76 billion a year), housing assistance ($49 billion), and the Earned Income Tax Credit ($82 billion)

Cut military spending
Phase out most tax expenditures (tax breaks), which currently cost $1.2 trillion a year

Implement a federal sales tax and a financial transaction tax

Establish a collective wealth fee and âoeSky Trustâ modeled after the Alaska Permanent Fund, which could pay a dividend of $5,000 per person annually.

Etc...
