Huh? The BBC is a UK news site (not really sure what 'shilled' means, but anyway.) In the UK "a jab" is perfectly normal and not remotely negative vernacular for getting a vaccination. As in "I'm going to the doctor to get my jabs for my holiday to Timbuctoo" or "damn that scratch is deep, lucky I've had my Tetanus jab", or whatever.

    Since the start of covid it has gotten larger use in negative light stateside. So seeing it I immediately jump to, oh god jabs here we go again with negative vaccination terminology. I wasn't aware of its use though in UK, that's good to know. I appreciate the clarity on it
