The Truth is Out There

The UK is home to millions more conspiracy theorists than most people realise, with almost a quarter of the population believing Covid-19 was probably or definitely a hoax, polling has revealed. About a third of the population are convinced that the cost of living crisis is a government plot to...

Did all the doctors around the world go along with the 'hoax' too? If so, what did they gain from it? Funnily enough, Ellal never would tell us what his annonymous 'Doctor' sons thought of it. I can only assume that was because their views weren't in line with his.

I’ve not mentioned doctors once. I’m just surprised it’s 25% of the uk population.

It depends on the questions asked.

The answer to that would be was there a 100% take up of the jab by doctors.

There never is. The flu jab uptake was even worse.

By the doctors ? So some doctors didn’t back the jab ?

Of course.

Saying covid was/is a hoax and not trusting an unproved vaccine are two quite different things. I caught covid even though I was fully jabbed up. I haven't felt right since. Is that because of covid or the unproved jabs? One thing is for sure I wont be having any more jabs.

You lot do know that it's OK to feel silly occassionally, to sit back & reflect on the fact you were fooled. Don't you?

You do know it's ok for you to explain why you think people were fooled?

Do you honestly think you have fooled us with any of your tall stories?

As ever, there are shades of grey that the internet just can't deal with.

I don't think it was a hoax, but I do think it was a massive over-reaction and that evidence that was available at the time was deliberately ignored, either out of incompetence or because those in charge thought that a national emergency would be a good thing for whatever reason - e.g. drug company interests, ego issues, whatever.

If someone asked me for a yes/no answer as to whether it was a hoax, I'd probably say yes, just to register my objections to the nonsense that happened, which will continue to cause deaths, suffering and poverty for many years.

Interestingly, from the poll, 74% of people think that "Human-caused climate change is real and is a threat to people and the planet", and 71% think that "Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective".

84% have had the vaccine and 80% are glad they did.
