How many people have “psychological COVID”?

For months, I’ve been laying out evidence that: a new coronavirus was never properly discovered; the diagnostic tests are therefore meaningless; and most of the people who are sick are suffering from traditional illnesses which have been re-packaged under the empty umbrella label, “COVID.”

Of course, most people in the world have a religious belief in the new virus. And that opens the door to: “psychological COVID.”

Here is what it can look like.

A person is watching TV for hours. He’s treated to wall-to-wall news, ads, public service announcements—all about the virus and the pandemic. After days and weeks and months of this solid operant conditioning, he’s in the COVID frame of mind.

He’s IN the context, the box, the pattern, the story line.

He occasionally feels a bit of this and that: a scratchy throat, a sniffle. So he thinks, “Maybe this is the start of COVID.” One day, he has a headache. He thinks, “Didn’t they say that could be a symptom, too?”

He takes his temperature. 99.8. He tries to remember—“Isn’t my normal always a bit low?”

He calls his sister and asks her. She says, “Yes, you usually came up 98. Why? What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. I had a little cough yesterday, so I took my temperature. It was 99.8.”

“Call the doctor.”

“I’ll be fine.”

“You don’t know that. CALL THE DOCTOR.”

After talking to his sister, his throat feels raw. He makes some tea. He putters around the apartment. He feels tired. For a second, a pain shoots up his arm. “They said the virus could cause a heart problem.”

He goes to the fridge, takes out half a cake and eats a large slice. Now he really feels tired, so he lies down and goes to sleep. When he wakes up...

There is a guy in my senior softball league who tested positive along with his wife and daughter. Since they had no symptoms they questioned the results and decided to retest at two other facilities. Those tests came back negative.......

With that being said, there are over 200 guys in our softball league and we've been playing and interacting drinking beers afterwards twice a week for the past two months and nobody has gotten the Covid......

Prove it - you state that even as we know that many deaths were attributed to Covid even though the actual death was caused by something else - in some cases, car accidents and shootings and drugs and suicide...as long as the virus was ‘detectable” and we also know the virus “gets detected” a lot more often than it actually exists.

Fact is, we have no actual idea of how many actually died from Covid vs. other causes that wold have killed them anyway.

I’m not saying it hasn’t killed anyone - just that we cannot trust the numbers and that those who blindly believe the worst case scenarios are as big a problem as the virus.

The lozenges do contain zinc still. They are the only product that Zicam produces that still do. The swabs have never burned for me, either with the old formula, or the new one.

I looked all of this up once the lockdowns happened. It’s somewhere on their product pages. I have used Zicam mists, swabs, and rapid melt lozenges from the beginning of when they first came to market.

The mists and swabs are likely placebo. Not sure about the lozenges.

About the only thing that might be reported correctly is deaths. Here's a graph comparing deaths from all causes to previous years and an analysis of the data-Keep in mind that there were extra deaths due to stupid policy on nursing homes such as NY/Cuomo:

from Imgflip Meme Generator

Before mid‐March, overall U.S. deaths were trending at a level no different from recent years at between 55‐60,000 per week.

Beginning in the week ending on March 28, all‐cause deaths began rising sharply, peaking in the week ending April 11 at around 75,000, or 137% of Expected Deaths for the week. Immediately thereafter, all-caused deaths began dropping sharply.

Within five weeks, all‐cause deaths were back to their typical range. By the week ending May 16, the measurable pandemic death impact had ended even though Covid19‐related deaths most certainly had not.

At least in this 8‐week period, the Covid19 pandemic was considerably worse than a typical flu season. To the extent that all‐cause deaths fell back to expected levels during May, the excess mortality attributable to the pandemic has passed.

****************************

Another interesting graph showing the differences between states:

from Imgflip Meme Generator

Many states actually saw lower than expected deaths during the period. To be sure, an excess death rate of 5% for the entire U.S. is considerable but also far short of the apocalyptic narrative the pandemic has received.

Variation by policy environment To the extent that policies have varied across the states, it is not clear that the imposition and/or presence of stringent lock‐down policies had much to do with the variation in excess deaths. Less stringent lockdown policies were not associated with higher death rates.

In fact, the 5 states that chose not to impose a lockdown are among the roughly 20 jurisdictions with no excess deaths at all. ...snip...

Somehow, the changing pattern of American life during the lockdowns has been saving the lives of hundreds of infants, over 200 per week. ...snip...

“Since March 2020, routine childhood immunization services have been disrupted on a global scale that may be unprecedented since the inception of expanded programs on immunization (EPI) in the 1970s.”

Are fewer children dying because their parents are skipping their routine childhood vaccines? If lives are being saved during the pandemic, this is a question that urgently needs answering.

“I am tired, so don’t know if that made any sense.”

You always make sense, Sioux-san. Rational sense...common sense. Take breaks. Don’t wear yourself down. My 10 day vacay in late July, looking out over the ocean, in Oceanside CA, was perfect. I wish everyone could find the time (long time) to reflect, refresh without distraction...daily dissonance on your brain. I’ve been very fortunate. I’ve worked very hard my entire life. Everyone has such different life experiences. It’s a battle of mob v. individual, evil v. good. It’s been going on since the beginning.

Enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...yours.

“I did screw my taste buds up with Zicam”

Very interesting. Thanks. I didn’t have taste buds for 2 years after surgery. On a plus note, I did lose about 50lbs. I do not recommend the brain tumor diet. My wife just happened to pick up vita fusion organic vitamin B-12 mcg at Meijer a couple of months ago. I took 2 gummies for 2 days in a row...and BAMMM...taste buds were back. I could not believe it.

I’m no doctor, yet my golf buddy calls me Dr. Phil. Everyone is different. Be your own health advocate. You and your family team research, research, research.

I just took 2 B-12s...usually about once per week now. Daily not necessary for me.

OOPS...3000 mcg

Thanks for that chart/info, greeneyes. INFOBUMP!

Interesting. My husband has some of the symptoms of anemia, but his levels for everything tested just fine. I may give him B-12 supplements anyway, just to see if that helps.

My sister also has a diagnosed case of B-12 deficiency and she has taken shots for it. Helped her a lot.

This is precisely what the Democrat/Leftist plan to destroy our Republic through fear was designed to do. The America/American-hating Democrat/Left's plan has succeeded far beyond their expectations as many, many former American "men" think and behave exactly as this poor shell of what was an adult woman ... and these former "men" are passing these de-masculating traits onto their young sons. America will pay a steep price for this ... far beyond anything even remotely related to "public health" and "guaranteed safety".

I have observed another disturbing consequence of this masked society. I was in Costco yesterday and noticed how people don’t look at each other anymore, and if they do, only for a second. There are no faces to look at, no smiles to share, no conversations, even brief hellos. People are alienated from each other. This has to have a serious effect on local community, on human interaction.

Is this another intent of this extended displacement and sabotage of human society? For what? The better to divide and conquer? To more easily turn us against each other? To make us good comrades under the new regime? I think it is dehumanizing and creating more desensitization than there already was, what with phones interjected between people who stare at little screens and text all day rather than talk. These are very strange days.

The test is not diagnostic for any specific disease, including covid19. That means it cannot determine if you are ill with anything, just presence of whatever the swab caught up your nose. The CDC admits this, yet the Governors et.al. who keep the country shut down are doing it on the basis of all those ‘Positive’ Test results, calling them New Cases (symptomatic, asymptomatic, it doesn’t matter). People who stood in line for the test and left before being swabbed also received test results in the mail — positive/false what does it matter if you were never swabbed??? Well, at least they got your dna, DouglasKC, so it’s not a total loss.

[greeneyes]

you are welcome.

A couple of things to remember - CDC started combining Flu deaths with Pneumonia deaths during the Swine Flu scamdemic in 2009-2010 due to the noticeably low death count for Flu. Can’t scare people with those numbers so just talk about flu deaths and never mention it is a combined number. Same with Covid19, making everyone think this is a type of flu when it is 100% Pneumonia, aka SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which was identified in the early 2000s. For some strange reason, the doctors learned NOthing in treating SARS as nearly everyone they put on a ventilator back then died, just like today.
The reason I am directing you to Rappoport is because he does a good job researching and summarizing the key issues - if you want more detail, you can go to primary sources and do deep dives. I did that to learn more about how two flu vaccines were available to people in Italy last fall — rather than the usual hit-and-miss single jab, the new one was much more powerful. Three old women were out for lunch (in this article) and discussing whether they would take the new one, too. One lady said she absolutely was going to have both. The other didn’t know and one was adamant she wouldn’t take any jabs for the flu. In Milan, a lot of Chinese industry relocated there bringing the horrific air pollution with them. The workers at these factories are largely Chinese people. So- The Jabs, the meds for existing conditions, the anti-virals and ventilators for the hospitalized patients. You have to abandon the One Cause/One Source disease paradigm as it is a false paradigm.

Countless Youtube videos were posted by whistleblower doctors and nurses telling what was really going on in certain NYC hospitals. A real twofer: Medical Culling and National Hysteria.

Good for you, Mears. Happy Birthday when it gets here!

[Sioux-san]

I appreciate that you have no animosity towards those of us who choose not to wear a mask. As the adage goes: If you believe your mask works, then I am no threat. If you don’t believe your mask really works, then why wear it?
Here in MIchigulag we have suffered no serious hassles or been denied any service for not wearing a mask (from the get-go). I just wear my same smiling face I have always had whenever going out. Peace to you all!

[Sioux-san]

Did your colleague actually get sick with SARS/Covid19 and was hospitalized? Positive Test Case with no actual illness? The distinction is very important.

[Sioux-san]

Never heard the term before — Key word here is “Irrational” — in defense of those who truly are frightened by the relentless 24/7 ever changing bloviations from the Anointed Experts such as Fauci, GAtes, Rockefeller Foundation bottom feeders, UN/WHO, the “Pope”, MSM talking heads, and all their useful idiot politicians who have bought into this Scamdemic, the only chance anyone has to really survive and not give up hope is to TURN OFF THE TV NOW. Or just watch Gunsmoke like I do. This is all to demoralize everyone. There was absolutely no reason to shut down our country, and anywhere else in the world no matter if SARS/Covid19 is real or not. Never have we ever been told to wear masks everywhere and social distance and close down businesses because of selective risk consideration. You think this is the first killing cootie to ever hit us? Do you believe that no one will ever die from anything again if we just obey orders? You all have immune systems. YOu were designed to live and thrive! The Cures truly are worse than our AFflictions in this case.

Hi.

When this pandemic started, I said that I wouldn’t participate in the panic or the pandemic.

Let’s move on dot org. LOL.

What the CDC actually reported is that 6% of the deaths had no documented co-morbidities. I downloaded all the CDC tables by state with location of death, age/sex/race, but the co-morbidity information was not provided in detail, just footnotes. Still don’t know if these people were killed by the ventilator, too, and might have survived with a less invasive treatment. Also remember that for medical coding covid19, no proof is necessary - financial incentives provided the impetus to keep it fast and loose.
