United States of Fear: How America Fell For An Irrational and Dangerous COVID Narrative

By Neenah Payne

As America begins to return to normal after three years of hysteria over what the CDC stats showed in 2020 was a flu that threatened few people, it’s important to ask questions now to understand how and why much of America went insane so we can avoid that kind of dangerous over-reaction in the future.

Who was most subject to the hysteria — and why? What were the consequences of the lockdowns, school closures, social distancing, masks, testing, hand sanitizers, COVID shot mandates, vaccine passports, and massive censorship in the corporate media and Big Tech for our freedoms, children, education, health, economy, and science?  Why aren’t these questions being broadly asked now?

Why didn’t America adopt Sweden’s approach when the World Health Organization pointed out in 2021 that it was the best model to follow? Why did America choose “warp speed”, rushed, poorly-tested, expensive gene-altering shots rather than proven, effective, inexpensive treatments like HCQ, ivermectin, vitamin D, vitamin C, and budesonide which were adopted around the world?

The Psychology of Totalitarianism

Mattias Desmet, author The Psychology of Totalitarianism, says the world is going through a “Mass Formation” (psychosis). Desmet is a psychologist, statistician, and professor at Ghent University in Belgium. His book helps explain why so many people accepted the COVID narrative without question.

In the video below, Prof. Desmet says the challenge now is to find the solution to the psychological crisis of alienation that led so many people to accept the totalitarian COVID policies. He points out that in addressing that malaise, we can come out of COVID better off than we were before.

In Mattias Desmet about Mass Formation and modern society, Tucker Carlson explained that Dr. Robert Malone, creator of the mRNA technology used in the COVID shots, introduced Prof. Desmet’s theory of “Mass Formation” during his interview with Joe Rogan in December 2021. The search for more information reportedly “broke the internet”! Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger”, said Joe Rogan’s interview with Dr. Malone was, without question, one of the most important interviews of 2021.

Desmet explained that groupthink gives people a sense of belonging which resolves their existential loneliness, the root cause of psychosis. He believes the West got off track during the Enlightenment when science became based solely on the physical and ignored spiritual reality.

Professor Desmet explained that the reaction to COVID policies fell in a Bell Curve with about 2-20% of people adopting the official narrative without question. The majority (60-80%) went along with the narrative out of fear of COVID, the government, family members, friends, neighbors, employers, and/or co-workers even if they didn’t believe all of it. About 2-20% totally rejected every aspect of the narrative — often at the expense of losing their job, friends, etc.

 

The United States of Fear

Dr. Mark McDonald is the author of the November 2021 book United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis. The book is a very healing review of how America descended, step by step into madness. Dr. McDonald explains that liberals were more willing to surrender their freedoms than conservatives — and women (especially younger women) than men. He points out that young Hispanic women followed by young White women were the most vulnerable to fear porn.

My own experience in New York is that only about 2% of people (regardless of background) were immune to the fear. Both Professor Desmet and Dr. McDonald believe the problem was not tyrannical bureaucrats, but that so many people gave into irrational fears which led them to accept dangerous policies without question.

America’s Frontline Doctors Inform and Heal America!

Dr. McDonald was one of America’s Frontline Doctors who held their first press conference outside the US Supreme Court on July 27, 2021. Their main message was that Americans did not need fear COVID-19 because the FDA-approved drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) had proven to be an effective treatment. Read the transcript of their press conference.

America’s Frontline Doctors held the first day of the two-day summit on July 27 and it was aired by Breitbart. The second day of the summit was scheduled for 8:30AM-1PM on July 28, but was not broadcast.

Frontline Doctors on Censorship: We’re Coming After You Big Tech – We Will Not Be Silenced! says:

Less than 24 hours after the Frontline Doctors first press conference in Washington D.C. was censored and removed from Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, and after having their own website knocked offline in an attempt to silence them, the doctors were back in front of the steps of the Supreme Court building today (Tuesday, July 28, 2020) for their second press conference, at great risk to their lives, their families, and their jobs, as they remained determined to bring the truth directly to the American people that a cure for COVID exists, and that the public does not need to cower in fear anymore.

Dr. Simone Gold said:

We are finally coming forward, at great personal and professional costs to ourselves. We’re tired of seeing patients die in front of us, and we’re even more upset to see the spider web of fear that is enveloping the American public. When there’s a treatment, there’s a cure. People have been afraid to say that. But what else do you call it if you give somebody the medication early, and it aborts the disease process? We’re coming after you Big Tech. We’re coming after you. We won’t be silenced. The First Amendment is first for a reason. There’s thousands of us.

America’s Frontline Doctors site said:

American life has fallen casualty to a massive disinformation campaign. We can speculate on how this has happened, and why it has continued, but the purpose of the inaugural White Coat Summit is to empower Americans to stop living in fear. If Americans continue to let so-called experts and media personalities make their decisions, the great American experiment of a Constitutional Republic with Representative Democracy, will cease.

They came to tell America not to fear COVID because HCQ is a proven inexpensive treatment that has worked for hundreds of thousands of American COVID patients.
