A recent poll, commissioned for the University of Oxford, found that those who voted for Brexit were more inclined to be pessimistic about having the Covid-19 vaccine. It might be suggested the cause could have much to do with the pernicious influence of social media and its practitioners, where negative ideas can unjustly, but easily, be implanted into an individual’s mind.
Astonishingly the report also found Green Party voters were the least likely to accept the jab. Words are simply inadequate!
Many of us may be disheartened with modern politics but it is up to us all to change matters, through honest political engagement, rather than so willingly turning to the untruths and fiction that create a false sense of reality. We have seen evidence of such falsehood over the last four years of the Trump administration in America and our own present Conservative government.
