Lee on A Better Way with Dr Tess Lawrie

[Lee]

I commend you. I naively thought there was incompetence at the beginning and that the actual science would catch up with the media and government and that everything would be okay. Only as time passed, everthing became more and more absurd. I subjected myself to PCR testing and I kick myself now. I didn't need it as I knew I was ill and had already determined I would isolate to protect others. I soon realised that test was not for me, or to protect others, but to generate fear with statistics. I am ashamed it took me so long to see things for what they are. I remember I was one of the first people to remove my mask in my community. I went to a shop, was actually petrified I would get grief but held my head high. Got some horrible looks but stuck with it. At the checkout, I saw a child surrounded by a sea of masks with not a single expression on his face. He started at me probably because I was the odd one in the crowd and I pulled a tongue at him. He grinned from ear to ear. That moment filled my heart with pure joy. We need human expression. If I believed masks work, I would of course wear one but the bulk of the peer-reviewed literature demonstrates that they don't work! We need human expression. I plan to take a leaf out of your book. :)
