Who do you think the free donuts and $10 gift cards were for?
They weren't for pilots, doctors, nurses, EMT, etc.
They were for the poor people.
But even there, poor people are typically the largest group of idiots and subsequently the most gullible. They don't require special coercion, they simply need to be told something then hear about/see 1-5 other people do it and that's good enough.
That's literally the basis of how propaganda/idealogies are spread in a civilization. You start wit the lowest common denominator, AKA the biggest group of idiots, then go from there. Why? Because social proof is the most powerful tool a propagandist has against humans.
From there, they drag along the next group with a large percentage of useful idiots, the blue collars. Then so on and so forth. As you get higher up, you require stronger and stronger propaganda, but it's ALWAYS rooted in that original social proof. "look, these 100 people did it, why won't you? Are you afraid of a needle?"
Sorry to hear about your friend. However, she's a great but unfortunate example of the LCD demographic - the Lowest Common Denominators - and how their fear can be used against them... And in turn, against others. Theoretically, it's likely she convinced at least 1-2 other people to get the shots... That person then likely convinced 1-2 more, and so on.
My own mother is firmly planted in the LCD demographic; it took her 3 shots and 1.5 years of me explaining it for her to see the forest for the trees. She was raised privileged and pampered and excelled in school, she's also an RN. On the other hand, my stepfather is cold as ice and grew up hard, he adamantly rejected the shots without my input required.
LCD isn't just about the intelligence quotient either. It really just boils down to lacking general "common sense" and being susceptible to "trust the science" types of rhetoric. In the US, the LCDs are just as prevalent in the "college educated" demographic as they are the "could barely graduate highschool" demographic.
