My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don’t believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it…).
We’ve just kind of agreed not to talk about it anymore, but they’ve steadily become more and more batshit and I think they believe I have been brainwashed.
Anyone else’s familial relationships changed forever?
Everyone I know is vaccinated 2 or 3 times. They also all observed the recommended official guidelines, wearing masks when that was required.
This was common in Denmark, except in some minority circles, and although vaccine deniers existed, they were a tiny minority.
It’s the same here in the UK, my parents are very much on the extreme fringe of society 😅
