I think it is easy to underestimate just how little many people know about what has been happening.Why do people take "covid" tests? They are not reliable, as has been discussed before. And what does it even matter? If you have some symptoms of something, you are not feeling well... then take care of yourself as you have always done in the past before "covid". Is it important to label it as "covid"? That only feeds the narrative in my opinion. A coworker just sent me an email that she's taking it easy because she's not been feeling well (but covid test is negative!). I don't get it.
In the UK, as in many countries, the use of a fear based psyop for the past two years has really affected people. What little critical thinking they were capable of, or just observing reality around them, has simply gone.
As much as the alternative media is growing and trust in the mainstream is falling along with trust in government, the vast majority here still get all their information from the mainstream. Many have absolutely no idea what has happened. They have no interest in seeking information for themselves so what they are told just is.
I know at least 5 people who have been off work in the last month. One was clearly quite ill, may well have been Covid but all tests were negative (took three of them).
All the others had slight colds or coughs but had positive tests… Not even the kind of thing you used to take time off for.
All but the one person who was genuinely quite ill will not entertain the thought that the tests are highly inaccurate, they fully believe they had Covid (in two cases for the 3rd time). They reason that their mild symptoms were down to being fully vaxxxinated.
Tests are pretty pricey now that they are not free so maybe once people run out of their stock piles they will stop taking them, but for now it feels like testing has become a social norm to some extent.
A reality split indeed…
