    It’s still free and they’ve offered multiple courses of it since it came out and they’ve been pretty liberal with it. When I was living there I got the 1st and 2nd dose plus 2 courses of boosters all for free.

    I would think the majority of deaths are from some combination of poor general health in the population which is also aging, antivax/antimask/conservative bullshit, and workers rights sucking wrt sick time/etc.

      The COVID vaccine was commercialized now, so they can charge for it. I don’t know when that takes effect or if there are other ways to get it free, like through a voucher or manufacturers coupon. I hope hospital networks and similar are just eating the cost and giving them out.
