Nocebo effect, tell people they are dying and some will just die from believing it.

Guy was told he had cancer, it metastasized, and he had months to live. A couple months later he died. Autopsy showed he only had a small benign tumor, not metastasized.

Kid swallowed his whole bottle of antidepressants. Doctors had to give him 6 liters of water to keep his blood pressure up, he was on the verge of death. Until his prescribing doctor was contacted and told them he was part of a drug trial and he was on a placebo. Kid had taken sugar pills.

Covid is mass hysteria, intentionally caused by the media.

I heard of a story where a man who was dying took what he was convinced was a miracle cure and his tumors actually shrank for a few months, even though it was a scam. The mind/body connection is a funny thing.

got another story like that.

doctor refuses to be examined himself for his entire career..

at the age of like 55 or so.. the others pressure him to do it.

they find a lump in his lungs.

tell him he has six months to live.

he dies six months later.

they check his medical records at death, find at the time he became a doctor they had examined him and found the exact same thing in his lungs.. but decided since it was a death sentence not to tell him.

do as you like. these stories are not uncommon.

but finding them is near-impossible as mainstream media won't print about it.

and now search engines actively only curate content from msm.

I worked through the H1N1 and many other flu seasons. COVID is definitely presenting differently from a medical standpoint, but I would agree that it was wayyyyyyy overblown.
