Objective:
To make people aware that their tax dollars were used for COVID related research. The tax day dates were used on the ‘bill’ to reflect when we have paid.
The Project:
A social media post to show your tax dollars have already paid to create COVID related medicines and vaccines, why pay again?
STRATEGIES:
TRY THIS:
Share it on social media. #FreeTheVaccine #PeoplesVaccine
Print it and post it.
Build a mail campaign around it.
What worked?
I think that it’s direct in saying by paying for something with our taxes we shouldn’t have to pay an inflated price for the finished product later. And that since we all pay taxes, we all should have access to the medicines and vaccines.

Reflections from Stacy Early
What was the process/journey of creating this work?
Hearing from the Free the Vaccine leadership group that our tax dollars are paying for COVID related research, then having our tax day delated due to COVID was the inspiration for this.
What would be your next steps, building on this idea, if you had a million dollars and all the time and skills in the world?
It would be fun to send this to every person that paid taxes as a type of voucher for them to send to the big pharma companies to claim their ‘free’ vaccine.
