Corona Virus Hypnosis ― 2022/02/09 13:51

I recently read an article about Eric Clapton’s views on Corona virus vaccines. Receivers of the vaccines are victims of “mass formation hypnosis”. I see exactly what he means. People are hypnotized by watching TV news day in day out 3 times a day being bombarded about how devastating this virus is. Then the numbers of people dying and how you have to get vaccinated with vaccines that have only been tested for 6 months when most medicines take 5 years. As you may already have guessed I’m an anti vaxxer. I’m very suspicious about the boys in power and their having some scheme up their sleeve. Control of the masses using manmade viruses, SDG,,5G and fake numbers. In 2001 September in Tokyo the number of infected was over 1,000 a day. The first week of October the state of emergency ended and the number went down to about 500. Over the next the next week the number went down to under 100 and the next few days under 10. How could the numbers go down so drastically? Something is very very fishy about this whole corona virus ordeal. I’m not about to change my lifestyle because the fake corona virus. Media doesn’t tell you how many people die from the vaccines or how over 90% of infected people recover. Big Brother is on the horizon. Don’t be trapped in the hypnotic state. Snap out of it.
