CNN condemns fear mongering doomsday doctors harming mental health, media lost touch with public

When you've lost CNN's chief propagandist... you've truly, truly lost.Show more

CNN suddenly acknowledges what reasonably informed non-hysterical people had already figured out almost 2 years ago:

Fear and stress harm mental health and the immune system. Fear and stress make people stupid. Chronic fear and stress kill.

For almost 2 years the authorities and media have had tunnel vision on a virus. Everything needed to be done to combat a virus, regardless if it was effective and regardless if the costs in terms of public health and wellbeing were enormously higher than the benefits.

COVID Zero ― striving to completely eradicate a virus that's everywhere ― has literally ZERO chance of success. You'd have more chance of success trying to stop the earth from rotating or the wind from blowing. Even if we have a vaccine that completely stops infection and transmission forever (which we don't and likely will never have) and even if we could inject every human on the same day, it still would not work, because corona viruses have an animal reservoir where they will continue to mutate and infect humans again. Are we also going to mass vaccinate house flies, deer, pangolins, bats, ferrets, et cetera with boosters every 2 months?

The public should receive fact-based nuanced information. Example: you are at very high risk of COVID (and all other respiratory infections and other diseases) if you're an old obese male with multiple severe underlying illnesses. If you are young and healthy, you have a higher chance of dying in a car crash than dying from COVID. If you are very young and healthy, you have a higher chance of drowning than of dying from COVID.

Dr. Lucy McBride doesn't prescribe ill intent to fear mongering physicians. She says most physicians are trying to help people. I'll give the physicians the benefit of the doubt, but if they really want to help people, why don't they advise them to lose weight using proven effective strategies? Whydon't they advise them to adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle, get their vitamin D levels up above 50 ng/ml? Why do they BLOCK early treatment? Why do they SHAME people who are hesitant about taking an experimental genetic injection with death as a possible side-effect and dubious waning efficacy at best?

"If doctors and public health officials don't check their own anxieties, their own fears and take a moment to reflect on how they are messaging and how they are potentially doing harm by, again, sharing fear-based messaging, then we really should take a break." This sums it up very well. Instead of reflecting and dealing with their own fears, large numbers of hysterical adults are doing enormous harm to all people including themselves.

The public should receive practical strategies to protect themselves. The strategies should be safe, effective and preferably have POSITIVE side-effects. Examples: ventilate, keep relative humidity between 40% and 60%, get and keep vitamin D blood level above 50 ng/ml, start intensive combination treatment as early as possible after start of flu-like symptoms, adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle.

The media has lost touch with the public. People are not living in the same fear bubble that most of the media are messaging toward. People are turning out the media's fear porn. (It's not just doomsday doctors, but also doomsday 'health' authorities, doomsday 'leaders' and doomsday main stream media.)

"We're not really getting the information that they [the public] need to them." Here's something to consider: perhaps the manipulation that you ARE providing is not what the public wants and needs, and the information that the public needs and wants is not provided by the media (and likely won't because the media have conflicting interests).

"The CDC has turned into a punchline. It's so sad but it's true." CDC, NIH, FDA, NIAID, WHO and others have a huge credibility crisis due to their own self-inflicted consistent misbehavior. Remember, trust, once lost, takes decades to regain. The public "just move on and ignore it [the authority's messaging]".
