Look, I know there is mental health to consider. But this is a public platform, and an opportunity for everyone to have a "voice". With that comes responsibility, yes. But.

Reluctance to read the science, listen to the global experts, question policy and policy makers IS a problem.

We are not all cut out for it, I know. And are at different places in life.

But please, try not to prevent others from doing it.

It is not negativity when there is evidence to support. Critical thinking is a skill more people need to feel empowered to do. Not told to shut up, sit down and be quiet. Inequity, climate, nature declines, racial and religious prejudice and injustice (COVID19 or not) need VOICE.

Right now, there are massive injustices ongoing in the cause, spread and treatment of a virus pandemic. Our politicians must be held to account, not only by Party opposition and journalists, but us too.
