A California psychiatrist is blowing the whistle about the state of “delusional psychosis” that millions of Americans have succumbed to after months and months of successful media-related propaganda about the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Mark McDonald says that America will be “lost” because of how weak-minded, manipulable, cowardly Americans are turning on each other to enforce “nonsensical” restrictions supposedly meant to stop the virus.
“We don’t need a police force. We don’t need a secret Stasi to go after the neighbor that isn’t wearing his mask on a park bench. We have families who are willing to do that,” Dr. Mark McDonald stated during a summit on the virus last month.
“We have office workers [who] will come by and mace you if you are not wearing a mask, and no one will come to your rescue. In fact, they’ll probably applaud it,” he added.
McDonald works as a child and adolescent psychiatrist in Los Angeles. He appeared at the virtual Truth Over Fear Summit that was organized by Catholic radio show host Patrick Coffin. He said that the fear among the public has “grown and become so entrenched that it has reached a state of what I would call delusional psychosis. A delusion is a fixed false belief that is contrary to reality.”
“Fear has become a new virtue. Never before in the history of this country have we told people that fear is good,” or to “settle into” those fears and allow them “to control and constrain your life,” McDonald added....

I believe this theory, because I keep having hallucinations in which the media keeps telling me Joe Biden has been elected President.
I watched about two minutes of one of the network’s Saturday morning news broadcast and was amazed at their hysteria over covid. It has been a long time since I had seen one of their broadcast.
So how are the counselors counseling people out of this irrational fear?
I sincerely am curious about this.
And for someone with a steady diet of that, it begins to make sense that they are controlled by fear.
I was in a store today, and I was standing on one of those obnoxious little six feet away markers. The woman in line ahead of me whirled around and yelled that I was too close. The clerk told her that I was not too close and the woman kept insisting I was and that I had to get further away...I thought she was about to hit me. I quickly changed lanes. On my way out, the clerk exclaimed, “Did you see that? I can’t believe I saw that!”
You should have hip checked her onto the conveyor belt and signaled the cashier to glide her toward the exit.
You are very brave.
I keep saying to myself that I have to invest two hours in watching CNN, MSNB, and the like and take notes and work on rebuttals, but I am afraid of the all-day migraine I might get.
When you prove to people that masks are useless they usually reply with “well it can’t hurt and may help a little bit” . If that is true then we should all carry healing crystals and burning sage because it may be of use as well.
First time I’ve seen “Silent Bob” on FR.
But the masks can hurt.
Fabric masks = fibers than can be breathed into the lungs
Paper masks from China = what chemicals are they coated with?
Hmm. That gives me an idea to give to other Freepers since I don’t have a 12 year old kid handy.
Would it be possible to buy some sort of science kit at one of those fru fru toy stores as a Christmas gift so that such a kid could test masks his family wears?
Wasn’t worth responding to her. She was crazy.
If they are using Maslow they are fools. Every time that idea is tried to to be verified it fails., In fact, most of the time it appears that Maslow got it backwards.
Maslow was, as near as can be, completely wrong.
See Keiran Egan
I tend to believe this, as I do know some such people. The problem is they are all lefties.
“...yelled that I was too close.”
Yelled? That is worse than being a few inches too close, according to the received hysteria. You should have told her you would call the police.
Objecting to church gatherings but not to protests.
Supporting the cancelling of funerals, except if it's George Floyd (who got THREE of them), RBG, and John Lewis.
Demanding that restaurants and bars shut down but keeping Target, WalMart, Apple, McDonalds, BestBuy, Burger King, and liquor stores open.
Thanksgiving dinner with your family is bad, Black Friday shopping is O-TAY.
Just more proof that leftism is a mental disease.
You are mixing your metaphors. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
That is the substance of your argument?
Are you Chinese?
No, my wife is Chinese, I just lived in China for 20 years.
But, that has no bearing on the fact that Maslow was wrong, provably so.
