Vaccines Increase Your Attractiveness On Online Dating Sites

By Frances Langum — May 21, 2021

The LOOK on Fauci's face ALONE is worth the click. White House announces online dating sites are offering incentives (?) to the vaccinated.

A visibly embarrassed Andy Slavitt soldiered through today's announcement that online dating sites such as Bumble, Tinder, OKCupid, BLK, and PlentyOfFish, will have "I'm vaccinated" badges and filters.

Mashable reports that "OkCupid is teaming up with the White House to boost vaccinations in the U.S. and daters who make use of the badges will receive a free "boost" on their profiles."

At Friday's White House Covid Briefing, Anthony Fauci could be observed laughing as Slavitt announced that the "universally attractive" thing is getting the vaccine.

Slavitt also noted that OkCupid says people who are vaccinated have a 14% greater chance of a match than people who don’t plan to get vaccinated.

"Alright, got through that." said Slavitt, with obvious relief, at the end of his remarks.

We’d swipe right 😉

Add your vaccination status to your profile on @Tinder, @hinge, @Match, @okcupid, @meetBLK, @Chispa, and @PlentyOfFish services, as well as @bumble and @Badoo. #WeCanDoThis

The White House: In support of getting 70% of adults at least one COVID shot by July 4, the largest dating apps in America will launch new features to encourage Americans to get vaccinated.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The vaccine is actually helping people find love. Over 7 in 10 daters on @OkCupid said they will get the COVID-19 vaccine, and those who are planning to get it or already have are getting 14% more Matches and 15% more Likes.
