Just Tom... 🐁I never thought, when I trained or worked as a GP, that Diphtheria and Polio or, to a large extent, measles, would again be things that I might have to recognise. Nor would I have believed that malnutrition on a scale currently seen would be tolerated by society. I was wrong - how quickly are the hard-fought gains lost.
Bridget Clinch@tompearce49 I feel that this all started with sentiments like "what's the harm in letting people believe <insert pseudoscience/snake oil/woo/quackery/etc here>" then when social media came along we added "don't read the comments".
As a kid I couldn't believe adults would let people believe nonsense thinking there'd be no compounding harm, then I thought the interwebs would save us with unlimited information sharing. Somehow we ended up with frickin nazis and vaccine preventable diseases coming back in force. Now as an adult I have no faith in our species anymore. We don't collectively learn and evolve.
