I am well aware of how the health service works in my country, thank you. Vaccine procurement, authorization, etc, is not devolved, and is largely dependent on the JCVI, so the only thing the SNHS can decide is whether to make them available for free or not and to whom, but private pharmacies can sell it (or not) to paying customers independently of it.

This is illiterate nonsense. "Natural immunity" fades within months from the infection. Vaccines do not do great for infection prevention, but help MASSIVELY with lowering the severity of the illness if it is caught, and the likelihood of long-term effects such as long covid. Please stop spreading anti-vaxx nonsense on LWN, I'm sure you'll get plenty of "likes" from bots if you instead go do that on twitler or whatever it is called this week.
