Went to a drinks party the other night with school parent friends. Hadn't seen some of them for a while and one of the guys had lost a lot of weight. Was chit-chatting about it and turns out he lost it during after first lockdown after reading about covid being worse for those overweight. Since then he has obviously fallen down the anti-vax rabbit-hole and started going on about it not being a real vaccine, gene mutation, masks were a scam etc, etc. Properly batshit.
What made it extra excruciating was that the other person we were talking with works for the European Medicines Agency (which he knows).
Had to do the whole 'oh look, there's so-and-so, I must go and catch up' escape.
First time I've come across someone so deeply changed by the last couple of years.
