I can’t imagine any parent succumbing to pressure over something like this. Sounds like an excuse they are using to deflect blame. Of course many idiot parents jumped at the chance to give an experimental vaxx to their kids despite the mortality for kids being close to zero so I guess anything is possible.
You have to pretty weak minded to be convinced to destroy your children. To weak minded to have them in the first place.
I remember 1968 and the murder of Bobby Kennedy. The media blamed TV shows, comic books, pulp books, toy guns, movies.
So the TV shows dumbed down to kiddie shows, toy guns disappeared, comic books changed their format for a while, pulp books changed their blood soaked covers.
But Movies got a pass as they said they would regulate themselves with a joke of a ratings system. GMRX! Then reshot scenes adding more blood, guts and sex to get the then coveted “R” and “X” ratings.
What was really frightening was certain people blamed masculine boys for violence and wanted to feminize them with medication.
To me it appears most of the problems in the US started at that moment.
