Is Fear the Real Virus?

Since March 2020 the world has been subjected to the most draconian measures ever applied in peace-time. Although the extent of the restrictions has varied from country to country, it’s undeniable that for the vast majority of people, at least in the western world, there has been a massive erosion of basic human rights and freedom. All this for a virus that has a 99% plus survival rate for the majority of those infected.

It has completely mystified me that so many people have accepted measures such as lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, testing and quarantining of people who have no symptoms whatsoever. What has puzzled me the most is that so many people have complied with most of these dictates without taking the time to consider the inconsistencies in what they are being told. For example, if the so-called vaccines that have been promoted mercilessly are really effective, why are people still required to continue practising social distancing and wearing masks? This makes no sense. Yet, so many people comply mindlessly.

In the UK the COVID response has been driven by The Behavioural Insights Team. Recently the Telegraph newspaper reported that members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour (SPI-B) have openly admitted that their work in using psychology to influence public COVID reactions is unethical and totalitarian. Was the real aim to create so much fear and anxiety in the general population that they would willingly comply with dictates they would otherwise have rebelled against? Was it also the intention to create such a degree of fear that the majority of people, many of whom were perfectly healthy, would willingly allow themselves to be injected with these mRNA experimental ‘vaccines’ that have no long-term safety data?
