I didn't read it that the bill was for the shot. I read it as it ended up costing that in medical bills. That is where my first thought went. Why would someone be charged millions for the shot? Everyone knows they were free. I think it is def a reader problem too.
Well, if we get right down to it, the title says "Family Billed 7.5 million dollars after “free” covid shot." It does not say "for free covid shot."
I too came away, before reading article, thinking that the family was billed for the covid shot.
What this boils down to is a poorly composed headline.
As a side question: Have you ever heard of the Chicago Manual of Style? First time I heard of it was last night listening to a Justinian Deception (Romley Stewart) video.

Don't we have enough struggles without bickering about grammer?
No bickering here fren, just discussing the English language.
...the shots were "free" ??? Just stop and think about that statement. Do you really think Big Pharma does anything for "free" ??? Do you pay taxes???
