The visceral reality of a broken public. My elderly mother, on IV antivirals right now for hospital-acquired Covid, had a visit from a neighbour yesterday. (Please no sympathy, I don't use social media to transact personal life, I share examples only to highlight issues.) /1

She rang me very upset afterwards. The neighbour had told her the drugs the doctors were giving her are poison, and that she should remove the IV lines. And that she should get on ivermectin, and avoid the Covid vaccines. /2

I told her to ignore the neighbour, the treatment she's on is the best available. And if the neighbour tries to visit again, tell her to fuck off. /3

This is social media society. Everybody a fucking expert on everything, that they don't have a clue about. Society is collapsing. And platform owners are monetising the ruins. /end
