It's Christmas Day. Who wants to read bad news ? Not me. But unfortunately even today the national broadcaster of the Netherlands, NOS, is spreading absurd fake news about covid.

Just yesterday I read how the concentration of covid in our sewers had reached the second highest level of the entire pandemic and today the NOS is still enthusiastically telling everyone that it's perfectly OK to pack themselves into churches, restaurants etc.:

Be careful out there. The pandemic is not over. People are still getting ill, getting long-covid and dying in huge numbers. #gaslighting from governments and news outlets is not helping us to beat #covid, and of course it's not only covid that we need to avoid because we also have lots of influenza, RSV and other opportunistic infections spreading easily due to the compromised immune systems of people who have had covid.

Kerken en restaurants zitten vol; Kerst na twee jaar volop gevierd

De afgelopen twee jaar werd het kerstfeest ontsierd door coronamaatregelen. Dit jaar kunnen we het weer vieren zoals we gewend zijn.

NOS Nieuws
@hembrow You are absolutely right, it's fake news. But don't blame the national broadcast. They are only reporting on what happens in the community, superficially. Sure, they are doing a very bad job doing their own research. But the real villains are in the government, the medical boards of the official national health services and research institute RIVM. They KNOW how catastrophical the situation is and they fail miserably informing and advising us.
