Michéle Wilcox: “We Must Remember the Pandemic’s Victims and Heal Together”

Michéle Wilcox, a nurse and board member of the political party MoD, delivered a speech reflecting on the impact of the pandemic and its management. She expressed support for the Nurses’ Appeal, a protest against the pandemic response, and explained that MoD stands for human rights, democracy, and courage. Wilcox highlighted the widespread consequences of the pandemic: lost lives, long-term effects, economic struggles, increased domestic violence, and isolation of the elderly.

She shared her personal sorrow over following restrictions that prevented physical contact with her mother-in-law during her final year. Wilcox criticized the contradictory rules, lack of scientific basis, and misinformation, noting that many began questioning authorities and seeking the truth.

She concluded by emphasizing the importance of remembering those affected, acknowledging mistakes, and working toward healing, symbolized by lighting candles and observing a moment of silence.
