      It’s a thing among some antivaxxers, or at least among my sister who taught her kids that they “don’t believe in soap”.

      Her toddler got ill during lockdown and had to be taken to A&E, so she left her other kids with us. One of them, after going to the loo, said she only used water to wash her hands because she’s “allergic to soap”. I said you go right back to the bathroom and wash your hands with soap. To no one’s surprise, she didn’t have an allergic reaction.

      This sister is so antivaxx she actually tried to have my mum taken off her ventilator.
