Why so easily misled?

✒ MILLIONS of UK adults think like Conservatives, that we should let hundreds of thousands contract Covid-19, for our wonderful vaccines to kill the viruses in their lungs, while some folk do not survive, and more variants evolve.

I could explain to children that there is only one way in this universe, that a virus could reach your lungs, expelled from my infected lungs, into the air you breathe. Can you not understand that it is more efficient to prevent your lung infection, far outside your body, by killing viruses at source, in my air passages? No sensible person doubts the supreme value of vaccines.

If Government issued efficient masks with replaceable filters to catch and kill viruses, already trapped in globules, and intelligent citizens wore them, that must decrease the possibility of you becoming infected or variants evolving.

Even if I, an infected person who does not yet know it, wear a scrap of cloth on public transport, that must decrease the risk of your infection and the danger of more variants. That strategy can only do good.

The Conservative strategy is the most expensive of all, to kill viruses by the use of vaccines inside patients already infected, compared to killing them earlier, where we know they accumulate, from me, into the air. It is because Tories believe that money measures human life, that their calculations are always wrong.

We have known for years that ultraviolet light kills all viruses, so Britain could have built an international industry producing sealed UV units, at the optimum wavelength setting, fixed or portable, for the air in every school and hospital to be circulated through them, exterminating every virus.

Why are British adults so easily misled?
