The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The rollout of the varicella vaccine is a welcome step in the push to increase vaccination rates among children. As the latest data from the UKHSA has shown, some of these have fallen to the lowest levels in over a decade. There needs to be a concerted government effort to make vaccination more accessible and convince concerned parents of its benefits.

Establishment-critical narrative

The British government has no right to impose its medical agenda upon the people of the U.K. The government is already aware that no medical product is 100% safe, yet continues to mislead the general public about the safety of its vaccines while providing no means to claim compensation for those inevitably harmed.
