    Hey @krispykreme, I love that you want to thank people for getting the #covid19 #vaccine! Every incentive helps & free donuts may help move the needle. However, donuts are a treat that's not good for health if eaten every day. Here's my suggestion for what to do instead: (1/4)

        First, if someone indeed eats an Original Glazed #KrispyKreme donut every day as your offer provides, and changed no other aspects of their diet/exercise, they'd gain approximately 15 pounds by the end of 2021. I'm sure that's not your intention. (2/4) https://krispykreme.com/promos/vaccineoffer …

        Why not give vaccinated people a box of donuts to give to an organization of their choice instead? They can bring it to their office, donate it to charity, share with their friends, or eat it all themselves if they really want. Do it as a one-time offer of appreciation. (3/4)

        As a public health expert, I can't endorse a diet of daily donuts. Still, I appreciate @krispykreme's out-of-the-box thinking & hope that other companies will join in to incentivize #vaccines. Vaccines protect all of us, and it takes all of us to end the #covid19 pandemic! (4/4)

        I understand your perspective, but very few people are actually going to go out of their way every single day for a donut! Feels like a kind gesture.

        Thankfully, you’ve just released one of my “greater”theories. I heard some time ago, that eating donuts shortens your life by a number of seconds. So, if you eat donuts in less time than it shortens your life by, it’s a net gain. If you eat them quick enough, that’s immortality?

        Yes. They can eat a donut daily. And it appears the millennials did during this lockdown. 41lbs gained on average.pic.twitter.com/vzSRslYuKS
