A window into the damage caused by social media to our societies. Mum is being treated for hospital-acquired Covid, in hospital. Yesterday a neighbour visited. Mum rang me afterwards, very upset. The neighbour had told her the treatments are poison, and that she should remove the IV lines to save herself. And get some ivermectin, and avoid the Covid vaccines. All the anti-vax Covid cooker Trumpian BS. I assured her she's on the best treatment. This is the society we now live in. Where social media makes everybody think they're an expert, on everything. I've ended multiple long-term relationships with previous close friends with beliefs like this. They're a danger to me, my family and society as a whole. It's time to draw a line.
