Ohio’s Vaccine Lottery Didn’t Increase COVID-19 Vaccination Rate: Study
Ohio | July 18, 2021
A study has suggested that Ohio’s pandemic-related lottery, in which people who had a COVID-19 vaccine were entered into a $1 million prize drawing, wasn’t effective.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has frequently touted the alleged success of the state’s Vax-a-Million lottery since it was rolled out several months ago. Children who get vaccinated were entered into a drawing for a full-ride scholarship at one of Ohio’s universities.
Several other states have also offered prizes for individuals who opt to receive the vaccine.
But a new study from Boston University’s School of Medicine compared Ohio with other states that didn’t offer a lottery incentive. Using data procured from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the researchers found that Ohio’s lottery program “was not associated with an increase in COVID-19 vaccinations.”..

Ohio Governor Signs Bill Banning Schools From Mandating COVID-19 Vaccines
Ohio | July 16, 2021
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation into law on July 14 preventing public schools and universities from requiring people to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that hasn’t been fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccines manufactured by Modera, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson are being administered under the FDA’s emergency use authorization. The vaccines haven’t been fully approved by the agency, although some federal officials have suggested in recent weeks that they will be by the end of 2021.
The law, House Bill 244, will take effect in 90 days and specifically targets COVID-19 vaccines, prohibiting public schools, universities, and colleges from forcing “an individual to receive a vaccine for which the United States Food and Drug Administration has not granted full approval.” However, by the time the law goes into effect in mid-October, most public school and college students will be back in class…

New Study Determines People Who’ve Had COVID-19 Don’t Need to Get Vaccinated
Ohio | July 1, 2021
- Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic say that people who’ve already had COVID-19 may not necessarily benefit from vaccination.
- They said that people with prior infection had similar protection to those who were fully vaccinated.
- Researchers are still uncovering how natural immunity compares to immunity from vaccination.
- Some health experts are recommending that people who’ve had COVID-19 still get a single dose of vaccine.
A new study from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio has found that people who’ve already had COVID-19 may not necessarily benefit from vaccination.
The research indicates that out of a large pool of healthcare workers, there were nearly 0 cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those who had:
- previously contracted the virus and were unvaccinated
- previously contracted the virus and were vaccinated
- never contracted the virus and were vaccinated

Ohio Legislature Passes Bill to Ban COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates at Schools, Universities
Ohio | June 30, 2021
Ohio lawmakers approved a bill that would ban public schools and universities from requiring students and staff to receive any COVID-19 vaccine that hasn’t received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
House Bill 244, approved on Monday, would also prohibit the institutions from discriminating against an individual who has not received a vaccine for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Such forms of discrimination would include requiring a person to participate in activities that are different from what a vaccinated person would be required to participate in, according to the bill text (pdf).
It passed along party lines in the Ohio Senate, 24-8, and the Ohio House, 61-34.
None of the vaccines currently being administered in the United States have been fully approved by the FDA to-date. All three are being used under the emergency authorization, and it’s unclear when regulators will make a decision. Two of the vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States require two doses….
