Yeah. I mean there are downsides to everything. You might find you’re vaccinated someone hateful. Or you might find you haven’t vaccinated millions of innocents. Choices, choices. https://twitter.com/mrnishkumar/status/1340122992244895744
Socialised medicine is SUCH a drag. My taxes pay for poor strangers to keep their children from dying! Wild! But also paid for...

✔️My dad’s collapsed lung when I was 4 and we had no relatives for 200 miles
✔️My mum’s miscarriages before I was born
✔️My brain injury aged 7
✔️My vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella, TB, and everything else available my parents did not want me to suffer from, as they’d suffered
✔️My granddad’s lung cancer
✔️My weird inexplicable skin allergies
✔️Palliative care for my nannans, catered to their needs
✔️My dad’s cancer five years ago
✔️My dad’s other cancer three years ago
✔️The birth of both my nieces
✔️My many inexplicable occurrences of impetigo
✔️My mum’s broken wrist when I was 4 and she had to get the teacher to plait my hair
✔️Every illness and injury I’ve ever had, even when I earned absolutely nothing
✔️Every illness and injury everyone has ever had since 1948, for free, without judgement
✔️The nurse who noticed my mum was alive, and not a stillborn as expected.

The NHS is a wealth beyond any human accounting. It literally gave me life, and has continued to do so in years when I’ve earned nothing. If I become a millionaire I could never pay it back.
If it gives a vaccine to a Murdoch, then... okay. He doesn’t get it ahead of anyone else.

Socialism sometimes has casualties, and they’re that Rupert Murdoch has a vaccine. Just let that sit a while.

The worst thing that happened is a rich man getting a vaccine.
Meanwhile the best thing that happened is that a poor man got the same vaccine. And so did lots of other poor men and women. And rich men and women.

Dear god when will this socialism end? When no one has to pay for healthcare? Oh, the humanity!
