How I assess what is real in the news, especially when it comes to Covid
If I had followed the opinion of the first doctors, I would still be in pain to this day.
No one is automatically 100% right just because they work in a certain field you are not an expert of. That’s why you need to get at least three independent consultations, especially when it comes to your health.
First I wanted to write in the title “How to assess the news” but that sounded as if I could give you instructions…as if I claimed I knew how to assess the news. I can’t claim anything, I can only tell you how I try to make sense of the madness that we call the news.
Interesting that in a time of connectedness we simply don’t know what is true or not.
I can’t blame that some people believe Covid isn’t real. They are right about one thing for sure — we don’t know the whole truth. I wonder who does.
Let’s discuss this as calmly and objectively as possible.
I won’t claim that Covid is not real. My friends (and their entire families) got ill, some of their family members died within weeks. I have friends who are doctors around the world and one thing is for sure, something is attacking many people at once, many are dying and the symptoms are severe at times.
