Just had a look on the wallmart website, the cheapest loaf of white bread is 97c for about 650g loaf.
Asda its 39p for 800g cheapo one.
Cheapest milk in wallmart is 96p per litre, asda its 68.3p
Maybe I just randomly picked two essentials that happened to be a fair bit more in the us pound for dollar?

Apart from the cost of bread, or milk, or minced beef that is.

And the payouts due to vaccine injuries and death 3.4 times more in the US.

Since the OP won't discuss then yes future health care costs are something that should be considered when comparing the 2 systems.
£120,000 in the UK
Around £405,000 in the US on average.
Cost of living the same
Nothing more to add.

Not for health care it isn't.

Does it matter? The UK and the US have a different approach to this kind of thing, and probably the process to determine who gets a payment is dissimilar too.
In the UK it is a maximum of £120K, tax-free and given as a one-off benefit.

I said this earlier on if you missed it.
That average payout is based on the system for vaccine related injuries that does not include the covid 19 vaccines.
The covid 19 vaccines are based on an entirely different system, there's a link to a bmj article way back about how its both unfair and still yet to give out a single payout so the whole debate is pretty pointless really.
If you want you can also factor in the fact that you don't have to go to court and have legal representation for the UK one, its tax free(not sure about the US one as yet) and as a UK citizen you wont have any medical bills to pay for and also have the full benefit of our benefit system if you are disabled as opposed to dead. this includes all the things like benefits but also a car under the mobility scheme and whatever else we offer that they don't.
Also bear in mind that the figure quoted is the average non covid payout not the actual figure and as an average half of the payouts will be less than the figure quoted.

The cost of living here:

It's almost the same.
However the payouts are different
£120,000 in the UK
£405,000 in the US on average
There is a massive difference

It's not compensation.
You can still sue if you want to.

My reading is that you can only sue if something was done wrong (for example contamination in the batch). Rather than just because you had an unlucky reaction.

Once again, How do you prove that the batch/dose you received was contaminated? It's already in your arm and you're in the freezer with your family about to torch or bury you.
