Medicare is asking grandmas all over the country to help them sell their families on the newly approved children’s vaccine. It’s an old idea that real estate agents and vacuum cleaner salesman alike are taught to do; “sell to your family first”. It works because family members can feel more obligated to ‘help’ than strangers will.
Now Medicare is sending out email asking for the help of grandparents. They want Grandma and Grandpa to pressure their adult children to vaccinate the grand children against covid-19. The email is somewhat disguised as a general vaccine promotion, but the emphasis is obviously aimed at the jab for kids, ages six months and above. That includes the youngest group (6 months to 4 years) that wasn’t approved by the CDC or the FDA until recently.
The sales technique of exploiting family relationships for personal profit dances on the line of ethics at a minimum. With the vaccines having a high percentage of adverse affects, it could be argued that Medicare’s plea to grandparents is morally reprehensible. It’s wrong on many levels.
