When we were in the early days of Covid, I kept asking why is no one talking about how you treat the illness? I asked some medical doctors what they would do if they had a patient with Covid. The response was either, "I don't know" or "No one tells us anything", or the health department would tell them to send the patient home with some panadol and isolate. If the patient got bad enough, they were to go to the hospital. Seriously? Is that what medical doctors do with a potentially severe illness?
When I watched the news media, there was no mention of treatments–– known at the time. While the media would often do medical segments about the latest advances in breast cancer, heart disease and many other conditions, they were amazingly silent about Covid-19.
It just didn't make sense. It appeared to be irrational.
Something seemed to be amiss!
Then later, I heard eminent cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough say that many of his medical colleagues were in a trance-like state where they wouldn't treat Covid and relied on vaccines to save the day. To McCullough, there was mass hypnosis. In 2020, I started referring to what was going on as mass psychosis.
Recently I heard a podcast with a Clinical Psychologist, Professor Mattias Desmet, who confirmed that many are in a state of what he termed, Mass Formation Psychosis. Professor Desmet hits the nail on the head concerning what he also calls "Mass Formation".
The medical profession, bureaucrats and politicians created a fear narrative surrounding the new Coronavirus right from the beginning. The news reports played right into people's anxieties. Part of the strategy was putting out models of how many people would die, at least five times the actual number of deaths.
Of course, people can alleviate their undefined anxieties, including loss of social connection and lack of meaning in their lives, by connecting with others. Fear of Covid led to frustration and internalized aggressions. The media helped to perpetuate the anxiety. So the solution was lockdowns, mask-wearing and, now, vaccine mandates.
The fact that most of society has been compliant and even okay to follow these Covid edicts makes people alleviate their anxieties because they become part of the group.
You'll notice that people who have bought into the group think, will defend their position at all costs because they want to be with a group where they feel validated––a group where their anxieties are relieved. These people will argue with you to the death about the vaccines being effective even though the evidence is to the contrary. They will be adamant about their position. They won't consider questioning the imperative for mask-wearing even outdoors, where transmission of Covid will not occur and where the virus is not transmissible unless the person is infectious.
So what does it mean when people want to be part of a group in a trance-like ritual? They become part of a cult. This form of collective belonging is what happens in totalitarian regimes. Think of North Korea. People there are hypnotized to do whatever their dear leader wants. It's how people can slip into a cult-like group and ultimately accept a totalitarian shift in society.
Listen to the podcast with Dr Desmet––it is very worthwhile.
