      What better way to decide who lives and who dies than the invisible hand of the free market? \s

        How’s this any different to flu at this point? I’ll admit, vulnerable people should get them for free like flu jabs, but everyone doesn’t need a free booster anymore.

          Are flu shots not offered for free to the elderly in the UK? Do they have to actually buy them?

            Yes, they are offered for free. If you are elderly, pregnant, immunosuppressed, live/care for vulnerable people, or have a variety of other health conditions including asthma, you get offered a free flu jab every autumn on the NHS .

            Yes, they are free. Same as COVID for that age range.

        That’s not an appropriate saying in this context at all, unless you are an antivaxxer.

          Why is it not appropriate?

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
