It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

We need an emergency flu vaccine drive to protect the vulnerable and prevent a disaster in the NHS.
That means jabs offered in pubs, churches and community spaces, and taking on the anti-vax lies promoted by Reform and other conspiracy theorists head on.

After everything we've been through over the last few years, it says nothing good about the level of common sense in this country that this needs to be debated. YES, if you feel unwell and you need to go out you should wear a mask. It's basic courtesy, and the science behind it is *crystal* clear.
