I'd say at the end of that insanity, we as taxpayers did pay for it.Someone paid for the vaccines. They’re not free. Someone even paid for the bike. It’s not free. Bike mfg still got paid. Vaccine mfg got paid. Who paid for it? Taxpayers?
The last paragraph of the article states it was sponsored by the school corporation, Anthem BCBS, and the health department. So my guess the "middleman" was the State and County for the school and health department. The insurance was probably federal. I sure don't see the health insurance company giving out money for free.
Another issue at this school corporation and likely many others is attendance is declining due to home and private schooling increases. Vigo has closed about 25% of their schools. With these vaccine programs they will get grants and kickbacks to make up for their stupidity.
