Another Thought about the Medical Collective Hysteria and Group Think during Covid-19

 

Okay, about Covid-19. My background was sociology and social psychology and my interest was medical statistics. Yes, statistics can be used to prove just about everything.

The lockdowns and restrictions caused more harm than good. OXFAM reported an estimated one to two hundred million additional deaths from starvation during the Covid-19 fiasco.

 

Hmm… did Covid-19 Cause this? No, the lockdowns and restrictions led to a worldwide financial collapse which hit the food chain as well. So no food led to increased deaths according to OXFAM and RED CROSS. You have to look to find this information though.

The Heart and Stroke foundation reported a worldwide increase of 30% death rate owing to cancelled surgeries during the Covid-19 era. That total number is 8 million additional deaths from Heart and Stroke. I lost 6 friends because their life-saving heart surgery was cancelled to deal with Covid patients.

The Cancer society reports a similar worldwide increase of 30% of the death rate from Cancer. That translates into 6 million neglected patients over the Covid-19 period, Their cancer surgeries again were cancelled because of Covid-19. I lost three friends because their surgery to remove cancerous tumours were postponed. The cancer metastasized.

I know a CEO of one of the Canadian Health Charities. Early in the Covid-19 Hysteria. He was getting reports of increased deaths because patients with his ailment were turned away. He was warned by our provincial and federal government officials, that government funding of his organization would be pulled if he reported his findings to the press.

Actually, later in the Covid-19 era, US papers began to report the stunning increase in deaths in the US of cancer, heart and stroke, lung, liver, kidney, etc patients owing to neglect.

In Spain, their supreme court ruled about 18 months ago that the lockdowns and restrictions were unconstitutional, and the medical world there is having to settle out of court.

You have to have read reports by BBC or other international sources to get a total picture of what damage the doctor's unfettered overreaction caused.

As early as June 2020, the psychological community was accusing doctors of collective hysteria and group think.

I myself have a precancerous condition called Barrett's syndrome. I need a gastroscopy once a year to detect the presence of malignant tumours. I could not get a gastroscopy at all during the Covid-19 era. My gastroenterologist simply disappeared. My family doctor fought to get me a gastroscopy and hospitals, caring not much about cancer patients, refused. Finally, my doctor found a government supported but private clinic to perform the gastroscopy. The clinic gastroenterologist was very open about his disdain for the medical world's handling of Covid-19. He told me that he had lost too many patients because he was not allowed to treat them. Thus, he started a clinic for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Luckily, although the damage to my esophagus had increased significantly, there was no cancer. However, the gastroenterologist said that my medication would have been increased and the spread of damage would have been decreased except for the Covid-19 regime. He complained to the CMA about the lack of support for cancer patients. He was warned not to make his feelings public, or he would have his license suspended.

Psychologists have made public their belief that the Covid-19 isolation and restrictions has led to a mental health pandemic, with ordinary folks worldwide experiencing PTSD as a result of the isolation and fear they endured during the Covid-19 era. During Covid-19, the rate of suicide attempts rose considerably, but deaths from suicides only increased marginally. The explanation appears to be that suicide attempts were discovered because other people were in lockdown with the suicide attempt. However, suicides of individuals who lived alone rose significantly during the Covid-19 era.

One day, we heard a crash outside our condo. There was a body of a young man on a drainage ledge, just outside our bedroom window. I watched as the EMS paramedics tried to revive this young man.

I knew him as an acquaintance only. Because of Covid-19 restrictions, he lost his job. The stress of the Covid-19 fear and isolation led to a breakup with his partner. He saw no end to the insanity the world got plunged in.

About, Sweden. Bear with me as I try to explain.

Their medical establishment has always been in the top three rated in the world. In fact, a hospital in Sweden saved my life and charged me only $400 CDN.

I was in Bali in March 2020, when the Covid-19 devastation was just about to be released. The people in Bali immediately felt the crush of the loss of tourism, and their economy still has not recovered.

I firmly believed that Covid-19 was the big virus which all the SCI-FI movies warned us of. 

Luckily, because of EVA air, we were able to return to Canada where I first heard how Sweden was handling the pandemic.

So I began to try to find out more information. I started reading European Press, even the India press. I started reading medical, sociology, psychology, and social psych journals. I found that there were medical and other professionals who were objecting, who questioned the models that the pandemic was based on. Reports from OXFAM, WHO, Health Charities were beginning to report non-Covid deaths which exceeded deaths from Covid-19 fifty fold. In additions, there were critical mental health problems which were direct negative results of the lockdowns and restriction. The more I read, the more I began to question the actions of main stream medicine and wondered why all those who disagreed, even if their disagreement was based on evidence, were all called conspiracy theorist.

In addition, Johns Hopkins published a report in mid-2021. The link does not work anymore. They studied death certificates because the researcher were suspicious of main stream reports stating that there were no deaths from influenza during the height of Covid-19. The study found an interesting phenomenon. Influenza was listed as the secondary cause of many deaths from viral pneumonia. Yet viral pneumonia was indicated as a secondary cause if the patient had Covid-19.  The Johns Hopkins study questioned the veracity of the data concerning the number of deaths from Covid-19 and Influenza during the Covid-19 period.

Back to Sweden. It is unfair to say Sweden did not take any precautions -- they did. Limiting sizes of groups inside and outside gatherings. They built a number of hospitals out of prefab units. They had a massive vaccination plan. The result in cases per million after the end of the major Covid-19 era proved that Sweden's approach was successful. Sweden ranked 76th highest in cases per million; However, their Scandinavian buddies Finland ranked 75th highest, Norway ranked 73rd highest, Denmark ranked 21st highest. So all the reports about Sweden doing so much worse than its Scandinavian neighbours in Covid-19 spreading was and is and has always been a total misrepresentation of the facts.

Now Sweden did rank 35th in deaths per million but many countries who imposed strict lockdowns did far worse -- Bulgaria 2nd, Hungary 3rd, Greece 13th, UK 18th, Italy 22nd, Poland 23rd, Belgium 28th, Portugal 31st. However, death rate is not a good comparison. It is hard to take into account the age of the population, the portion who are immunocompromised, the impact of weather, the portion of recent immigrants with poorer health, distance from and quality of medical help, etc.

In sum, Sweden fared dealing with Covid-19 about the same as the rest of Europe and much better than many countries who imposed long term lockdowns and restrictions.

However, unlike the rest of world that followed the advice of most of the medical-pharmaceutical cadre, Sweden saw no increase in deaths from non-Covid patients -- heart and stroke, cancer, liver, lung kidney, infectious diseases, etc. Sweden had no economic catastrophe and in fact, not surprisingly, outperformed all EU countries economically. Sweden had no increase in suicide attempts, and no mental health pandemic. Their children did not lose the development of their immune systems, nor lose social and cognitive development. Every country who imposed lockdowns and restriction is now suffering and dealing with the overwhelming negative effects of the catastrophic medical approach to Covid-19. The lockdowns and restrictions resulted in "collateral" deaths of an estimated 100 to 250 million human beings, an economic disaster, and a mental health pandemic. Even, after 7 years of Covid-19 being around as of February 2025, seven million individuals have died of Covid-19. A samall percentage of the many non-Covid 19 patients who died is this travesty. The medical world should be put on trial for the death and destruction that they caused.

No, I do not want to live in Sweden, their winter is too long. However, I admire Sweden's medical professionals for standing up against an overwhelming hysteria and group think that plagued much of the rest of the medical establishment.

The conspiracy theorist say that the Covid-19 Pandemic imposition of martial law was an attempt by ????? to prove that they could do anything they wanted -- trample on human rights, cause increase death, arrest and confine, discredit and defame -- This they say was the test. 

They brainwashed many intelligent people who followed them like sheep, even when the internet held all the information needed to bring the medical overreaction to a halt.

Of course, I do not believe in conspiracy theory, do you?
