Conspiracy theories

-

Rick Jackson used to offer us readers of The News a light-hearted and considerat­e opinion in his weekly contributi­on but, more recently, he has taken to informing us of his opinion and without objective thought.

The column allows Rick to offer us his thoughts, all of which is fine and acceptable but then he cannot deny the thoughts and opinion of others.

If he doesn’t agree or like those who offer a different opinion on Coronaviru­s then don’t offer one yourself or, at least, try to be balanced in your outlook.

Yes, we all acknowledg­e there are many, many conspiracy theories around the media hysteria of Coronaviru­s but who genuinely does know the truth?

The politician­s come on the TV and give us incorrect infor mation by the day and the scientists, leading the decision making for the gover nment do not agree amongst themselves either.

What is clear though, whatever the theory, the phar maceutical industry has never enjoyed so much publicity and so much wealth and all on a global platfor m too.

Not everybody wants the vaccine Rick, and they certainly don’t need the threat of the ar my taking over the process and, whilst scientific medicine has moved on considerab­ly since other vaccines were produced for severe illness, only longevity can actually provide the true position of the human body once it has been administer­ed.

Today, it appears okay. In 10 years’ time, who actually knows?
