A Disease Worse Than COVID

If, like me, you are confused as to why so many once-rational people blindly follow the swiftly changing rules regarding COVID quarantine periods, the wearing of masks and what kind, and general testing and vaccine protocol despite the seeming senselessness behind much of them, relax. Now there's a name for that, and it's a disease completely separate from coronavirus. Sadly, if you watch a lot of CNN and MSNBC you probably already have it.

It's called Mass Formation Psychosis, and it might even be worse than COVID.  Following are a few definitions from some experts in the field. Alas, Dr. Anthony Fauci has yet to weigh in, although many believe he has the disease himself and is its primary super spreader.

"Mass formation psychosis may represent a situation where mob influence can leave an individual with rather disturbed thoughts and perceptions and unable to fully distinguish what’s real from what’s not." (Forbes)

"Mass formation psychosis is when a large part of a society focuses its attention to a leader(s) or a series of events and their attention focuses on one small point or issue. Followers can be hypnotized and be led anywhere, regardless of data proving otherwise. A key aspect of the phenomena is that the people they identify as the leaders – the ones that can solve the problem or issue alone – they will follow that leader(s) regardless of any new information or data. Furthermore, anybody who questions the leader’s narrative are attacked and disregarded."- SWFI (Sovereign Wealth Fund Investor)

"According to Professor Mattias Desmet of the psychology faculty at Ghent University, mass formation psychosis refers to a generalised sense of anxiety that leaves a population in a hypnotic state, vulnerable to suggestion."

"Mass Psychogenic is a brain illness in which a person is unable to identify the real and fake. This disease is also called mass sociogenic, epidemic hysteria, mass hysteria, and mass formation psychosis. In current times it is spreading worldwide, especially in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. However, it has no infectious agents but has been seen in COVID patients."

 Mass formation psychosis is a situation when a large section of the society always thinks about the leader or focuses on every small issue." -Rational Insurgent
