The Covid thread

[fazersharp]

Not cancelling, but one post and the reply quoting it have been removed.

Please keep this civil and on topic.

Yes, I noticed my perfectly civil post was deleted.


This is a political thread.  It is conspiracy theory nonsense.  Fazersharp complains that the government has spread propaganda in order to scare the population.


Is it propaganda that almost 50,000 people have died so far during this pandemic?  Is it propaganda that our country had to be placed in lockdown in order to protect our health services from collapse and in turn prevent many more 10,000’s Covid deaths?  Is it propaganda that 10,000’s of people are suffering long term effects post Covid?  Is it propaganda that many are struggling, and indeed a fair number have died patiently waiting for routine treatement that our NHS stuggles to provide becuase it is dealing with the pandemic.


I also take great exception to Covid19 and this alleged propaganda being compared to climate change and “"climate denier”.  Man made climate change is a fact.  Covid19 is a fact.  This thread is an insult to us all.


The idea of people being forced to take allegedly dangerous vaccines and/or excluded from society if they choose not to are nasty and downright dangerous fake news conspiracy stories.


Such dangerous and clearly political, and the very worst sort of politics, should not be entertained on foc u.


I will message this to you Grahamn, so that if you choose to delet my post a record of it will remain.

This thread should be locked or deleted.

Happy to remove the word propaganda for you if you do not like it, but it perfectly describes what was done and needed for the UK to take the virus seriously.Here is the definition of the word Propaganda
  Propaganda is communication that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented.[sup][1][/sup]
