Quotes from UKCVFamily’s witness statement at the UK COVID-19 Inquiry dated 17 October 2024:
“Dating apps Tinder, Match, Hinge, Bumble, Badoo, Plenty of Fish, OurTime and
Muzmatch also collaborated to encourage their users to take the vaccine. People that opted to display a virtual vaccinated badge, created by the apps, were given in-app boosts such as free ‘super likes’ on Tinder, free ‘roses’ on Hinge, complimentary credits on Bumble, and boosts on Match. These are normally paid for services which allow for more social interaction with an
interested party.”
“Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said: ‘I am thrilled that we are partnering up
with dating apps to boost vaccine uptake across the country. This is another
incredible asset to our vaccination programme — the biggest and most
successful in our history.'”
