Up until last Saturday, May 16, I liked Dawn Picken's columns, but on reading her latest comment, I am put right off by her.
Her opinions in this column are so biased.
She talks of false information and fringe views, boring facts, conspiracy theories, half-baked hypotheses, and a whole heap more.
Anti-vaccine, alternative cures, shoddy statistics - these things won't help getting over Covid-19, she states.
How does she know? Is she a health expert? She shouldn't be giving medical advice if she's not qualified to do so. Has she done some research on health?
I suggest she does before she gets tainted by President Trump, spouting untruths.
I'm glad she decided to call a plumber instead of trying to fix her leaky toilet. Leave it to the experts.
