There is a book out echoing the same things OnwardandUpward.
It's been at the top of the book charts for weeks. I cant remember it's title or the author but she has demonstrated about how we have been lied to over the pandemic.

For those who are interested the recipe for my drink is:

punnet of strawberries, crushed
2 measures of Pimms
fresh limeade or lemonade (if you cant be bothered to make your own, I get a nice one from M&S fresh from the chill cabinet)
measure of Elderflower cordial to taste
Ice
Mint
Sugar if needed

Slosh together and relax watching the sunset!! winesunshinegrin
Actually it's nicer if the ice is left out, and put in the fridge over night.

Ok to explain a bit, the particular ones I have in mind are into chakra's, pineal gland stuff, DMT and astral travel etc. They believe they have the only truth- and are extremely against the covid jab. They don't even believe that covid exists (and Matt Hancock has not helped matters there now!!)

They cannot be around anyone who has been vaccinated "because it harms their aura" and "we can't be around that kind of energy".

NamsNanny it's not on Facebook (I don't go there much and I heard that the person I'm thinking of particularly was banned from FB because of "Misinformation")

Oh WOW I hadn't heard the story of Ethan but I will read it, thanks.

Your drink sounds lovely! I will have a gin and diet lemonade to join in ! Cheers!

I am glad you explained I was just about to rant that vaccinating people against their will was a terrible thinggrin. The drink sounds gorgeous.

Sorry I should have taken time to explain myself more clearly.

(making a strawberry and lime Pimms at the same time might explain itsmile!!)

The vaccine in Ethans case was measles not covid.

Interesting to ponder why he, a younger person was NOT influenced by anti vaxx rhetoric, but his Mother was?

Namsnanny Sat 26-Jun-21 19:49:01

....wouldn't let him be vaccinated....

Have you heard the story of Ethan Lindenberger from the US Onwardsandupwards?

His mother wouldnt get vaccinated so as soon as he was legally able he arranged it himself.

He testified how his mother was influenced by things said on facebook to a Senate Committee on Health.

I havent read your link OnwardsandUpwards but I was intrigued as to who the 'spiritual' ones are?

Lots of daft things on facebook.

When I say "misinformation" I'm talking about people online who don't have any medical qualifications but claim to share "the truth" about the vaccine. Apparently it's going to do all kinds of bad things to us and they can't be near us if we have had it, either! Interestingly the "spiritual" ones claim to "love" people but are actually fear mongering. I believe that fear is the opposite of love. I also believe that they are spreading fear because they're actually terrified to be around anyone who's been vaccinated. I feel sorry for the families that have been split by these beliefs and am in no way making fun, but rather drawing attention to what is happening under our noses.

This link explains more about how these charlatans are able to dodge restrictions and spread their poison:- www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes?t=1624731800429

Some of them recommend the use of the drug DMT to open your Pineal gland and claim that the covid vaccine will close it forever. I did some research on the pineal gland and discovered that it's benefitted by many things such as sunlight , eating vegetables and getting enough sleep- to mention a few things.

The thing is, if you spend time around anyone with a medical degree they will explain why none of this is true. Unfortunately the ones who believe these fears are spending time in an echo chamber.
