I always squirm when I see the nasal swab done on TV. Now I know why! Do they have to go up so far? Thank you for your posts, Tillybelle. I appreciate all you say and taking the time to support those who question. I can never forget the care home scandal. My 93 year old mother thought this was done deliberately to eradicate old people. She's not in a care home, but earlier this year was in hospital and horrified to be on a ward which several friends never came out of. It was ward G, the 'God ward' she called it. She told the staff a out this! I agree that Matt Hancock seems clueless. He's got a difficult job of course, but doesn't inspire confidence. To cancel all those cancer treatments, for example, was totally wrong and unforgivable. I remember one sufferer saying, "I hope I live long enough to die of cancer and not Covid". I'm glad my own treatment was finished before this all started. Do people break the Covid rules on distancing, masks etc because they believe the theories? Hopefully not. Are all those separated from loved ones being duped? I miss my grandchild while the other grandparents break the rules and see them regularly. As you say, people usually believe things because they want to. My family members get almost aggressive when they start and tie me up in knots when I respond. That is off putting to say the least and quite depressing. No wonder people get upset. Hoping to look at some of your references, nevertheless. Most of us just want to be good and have a quiet life, but perhaps that is burying our heads in the sand.
