Covid social disapproval psychological attack on us

NAS62563

The psychological attack is being ramped up against those with exemptions from wearing masks as seen recently on the mainstream media who are broadcasting fear into the public by showing the 1% of the 1% of the 1% 97 year old grandma dying only because of COVID else she would have lived until age 100 if it wasn't YOUR FAULT, showing the death rates go up but no bigger picture comparisons which indicate normal levels of deaths.

Sage's behavioural psychologist documents outline the tactics that are being used to get people to "follow the rules". Basically the social disapproval/blame psychology is a very devious and effective way of manipulating people into triggering an emotional response so that they attack others, pressuring everyone into following the rules or face the angry mob.

I am seeing more and more aggressive comments by the general public who want their fellow humans to be fined or taken away and locked up for not wearing a mask. Saying that even those with exemptions should be thrown out of the shop. I live alone and this is the only way I can get my food. I have avoided all other non essential places since masks were introduced which has left me not being able to get any new clothes or a haircut etc due to fear of being challenged about not having a mask. Shops are getting more security guards to intimidate those of us who are exempt from wearing a mask.

I can't wear a mask for a couple of valid reasons and yesterday I was shocked when asked to wear a mask and immediately went into fight or flight mode shouting at the person that I don't need one and that they shouldn't be asking that. I couldn't help the meltdown or control my emotions. Wearing a lanyard is not an option for me because they will still ask, it would just be a label to constantly remind me and let everyone else around me know that I "have something wrong with me" leaving me anxious and depressed.

Is it only a matter of time before we get physically attacked or arrested and taken away by the police for having a disability?

  • I feel scared to go anywhere now because of the mask issue. I have even had close friends question me on a really confrontational way about it. 

    Thankfully we get click and collect from  Tesco once a week and my husband gets any other bits in between. 

    I don't wear a mask at work (I am a primary teacher) and so far haven't been questioned but I wear the day I do. 

    It is horrible what people (including people I know) are saying on social media

    There are many scientific papers which show a weak correlation between transmission of the virus and restrictions such as masks. In reality the virus is more easily spread through touching surfaces (shopping basket handles, pin pads, petrol pumps, door handles, supermarket touch screens) all of which are being touched by many people on a daily basis. Wearing a mask means you are touching your face far more often.

    There are also unknown health effects of wearing the mask especially restricting oxygen, breathing bacteria and plastic particles, causing acne + retaining acidity leading to tooth decay.

    The point of this post is like you mention, some of us are suffering great anxiety over the issue. It has been set up as a psychological attack and if you read Sage's documents, their intention was to have the angry mob shun and shame all who don't follow the rules to pressure them into doing so or risk receiving abuse. It's working perfectly

    Unfortunately, there can be no sensible discussion on this.  People have got so used to accepting what the 'experts' say that they work themselves into a frenzy of name calling, not questioning anything that they are told, even though it is clear that even the experts have little idea what is going on.  

    Covid will reduce in the Spring, which will further convince the acceptors that the experts are right.  So lots of restrictions will be relaxed at the same time.  The virus will recede over summer.  But in the Autumn it will come back again.  This could be due to a seasonal nature, on top of everything else.  Spring sees an increase of ultra violet light, which is known to be germicidal and even longer wavelengths of uv radiation may have an effect on covid,  More people will have windows open and get out, having walks, the fresh air dispersing the virus.  

    An increase in Autumn when children go back to school will occur.  And when  students go back to college and university.  Even though children don't show the same effect, they can still carry it, they are forever touching each other and getting close, and however much you tell them they do not always wash their hands after visiting the lavatory or before eating..  This all goes towards helping spread the virus back to their families.  But this is ignored.  You wouldn't allow a mask to be used by someone else, but we happily allow our children go to unsafe places, mixing together and very possibly spreading the virus. And all the time, conveniently, there is another more virulent strain around the corner, ready to pounce and cause more problems.

    I am not saying sensible measures shouldn't be taken.  Social distancing, hand washing, and keeping surfaces clean are always sensible ( and many autistic people have no problem whatever with keeping a distance between them and the next person.  Perhaps design of certain facilities, workplaces, and public transport will not try to pack so many in a small place in future.

    I hope the vaccines available do work.  Because I am pretty sure unless they do, we will be suffering yoyo lockdown for a very long time.  And to those who get infuriated with anyone who is seeking the reasons for the spread which may not appear to be consistent with government advice, I would say ' Measles vaccine and autism'. Many 'experts' believed the measles vaccine was the cause of autism which set back research for ten years.  And was proved to have no scientific basis whatsoever and yet is still believed by many.

    the "experts" that linked Autism to the measles vaccine were usually quacks of the type Donald Trump would trust. Also, the advice that those shielding should just somehow "cope" with it is ablelist at best, discriminatory at worst. My Grandfather's dad was in his mid 40's when Spanish flu lingered for three years but that occurred before the real advent of real vaccines so hopefully it won't last that long.
