Many COVID deaths may have been preventable with relatively little effort \u2015 many more to come. Meanwhile, we DO have the means for proper research and management.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sentiment in large parts of the West<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sentiment is lately one of victory, with the vaccinatory cavalry at our side. It seems like a question of time for the enemy to be defeated. Well, to be more precise, the sentiment is shifting, migrating to \u201cWe\u2019ll have to live with this.\u201d People have become used to COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is less panic around. But there is more aggression \u2015 for instance, between those wanting everybody to wear masks and those resenting masked dictatorship, between those wanting their life and those wanting to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldwide, there is nothing to celebrate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of this, there is the problem of hunger worldwide, with a large uptick due to COVID. According to the World Food Program (WPF), at present, \u201cAbout 1 billion people<\/strong> do not have sufficient food consumption in low and lower-middle income countries.\u201d From these, 155 million experience acute hunger requiring urgent food, nutrition, and livelihoods assistance.

Vaccinatorily<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developers of the vaccines seemed utterly amazed about the efficacy of their products in the initial studies. At the start, they thought about a level of protection at 50%, not 95% (meanwhile, apparently down to 75-85% for the best vaccines).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high percentages are not astonishing from the hypothesis that this is a \u2018stress virus.\u2019 [see: “Minding COVID: a Different Story<\/a>“] In the nocebo effect from the start, one can see the human mind in action. In this case, the same action can now be seen in the vaccinations as a diminishing of the nocebo \u2015 in a way, the \u2018placebo of vaccination.\u2019 Put this on top of the reasonable 50%, and you may get 90% or more. [see: “What if COVID Vaccinations are 80% Placebo?<\/a>“]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, there are ways to prove the influence of the mind on COVID progression, individually and in society. There are also ways to come into action based on this proof. The following enumerations are by far not exhaustive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
