Couldn’t agree with you more Elizabeth, torture being the word. As well as children, I was always concerned about the distress being inflicted on people with dementia and other cognitive impairments. A neighbour’s mother with Parkinson’s disease was tested in her care home in 2020. She gagged on the swab which caused her to vomit which she then inhaled and developed aspirational pneumonia. The GP initially refused to attend at the request of staff and then when he did at my neighbour’s insistence, immediately began her on end of life meds before my neighbour could intervene. She of course died unnecessarily and prematurely when she was still enjoying life.
