“History is a set of lies agreed upon” Napoleon Bonaparte
Let's Just Say Let's just say that we know that it's not true, but that we'll conspire to fabricate its foundation for the acceptance of the masses, who innocently swallow the hollow loaf of carefully constructed , shall we call them lies, or will someone's feelings be hurt should we dare to speak of what we know, because what we know is inadmissible in the cleverly managed sphere of public gullibility.

In particular, I can’t understand how anyone with a college education can believe these lies we’re being handed. A simple validity framework, such as CRAAP, easily exposes them. https://researchguides.ben.edu/source-evaluation

In a way, yes, I’m noticing how govt and institutions are using C-19 to justify all sorts of extra regulatory process and also lots of excuses. But also the drivel people peddle about cures too.

Truly distressing what people are willing to swallow, Paul. Well-written poem about a daily conversation at our house!
It seems that the more outlandish the story, the more fervently diehard disciples believe and defend it! 🙂

I’m not alone then?! Sad isn’t it that we are faced with such things – we haven’t evolved very far it seems.

All I can do is shake my head, especially living in a country on the receiving of being red-lined for the sake of politics rather than science.
