The clarity that RAWSEP would like would be for the wood stove ban to supercede subsidies, and any wood stove subsidies for installation of wood stoves in Scotland immediately cease. Those who have no concern for the prroblem of air pollution that shortens the lives or kills the near neighbors of indoor residential wood burners would like subsidies for wood stoves to supercede any attempt at mitigation of the effect of indoor wood burning, such ss a weak ban on only wood stoves in new construction. 1B5)United Kingdom, Scotland. This Letter to the Editor is reminiscent of the protests of parents of public school children in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, protesting that their children either had to stay at home in lockdown or their children had to wear masks to school. The indoctrination of children in the United States was to the concept of scientific and medical knowledge that COVID 19 was airborne and before a COVID vaccine was available, lockdowns should occur until it was known exactly how the virus was spread and later the scientific and medical knowledge was indoctrinated into children that they should wear masks to prevent spread of the disease at least until a fair amount of the populace was vaccinated. This United States government indoctrination saved lives when scientists and doctors were listened to, and people who were intelligently indoctrinated stayed in lockdown or wore masks, and those simple and easy actions of indoctrinated people saved lives. Those who remained unindoctrinated cost many people their lives unnecessarily, when the knowledge of how to save the people who died unnecessarily was presented to the public by scientists and doctors. 1B6)United Kingdom, Scotland.
