I appreciate that you are engaging in scrutiny within the frameworks that deceit establishes as a means to filter and distort communication to protect a lie against the truth. For its blatancy of deceit is only 'supported' by apparent credential. Since when does choosing NOT not take pharmaceutical drugs become defined as thousands of needless deaths - as if death is the result of an absence of statins - and not a synergy of negative influences upon health that INCLUDES phamaceutical intervention - and I feel confident to say this vector of sickness and death is statistically very large despite the ways deaths are recorded. IE: How many deaths are recorded as being the result of chemotherapy?
But it remains the power of the establishment to publish and promote 'self-serving' lies in guises of truth, while blocking, ignoring or 'wakefielding' inconvenient truths - and it does so as a survival urge - with the forces and funding they can muster - for if truth were out - there would at the least be criminal proceedings of knowing culpability writ large.
Placebo and nocebo effects are worthy of opening to - because the power of belief is used by 'PR' and mis-informed 'carriers' of 'viral' misinformation as the very basis of their business and power model - for this cannot be assigned merely to 'greedy business interests' when it operates a 'power class' operating a captured regulatory (and most else) system. The public are trained to accord authority - (submit) - to presumed specialists of a particular regulated focus of official state regulated 'medicine' along with the magical belief in progress of cutting edge science as the carrot that will cure the stick that grows ever more complex in its ability to demand management instead.
Is it wiser to re-establish true witness from the ground up and be open to legitimate criticism - than to be baited and dragged into labyrinths of obfuscation and deliberate tactic of undermining any conscious capacity to actually address what is really going on?
IF the studied people more negative effects from a placebo cast as a believed toxin - (regardless any promoted side effects regarding the health of the human heart), and the 'interpretation' ascribes the belief to 'fake news' and quackery - without ever applying the same set of values to their own agenda - then they are not aware of their own negative effect on health as a direct result of negative prognosis - including public and loud assertions that "lack of statins will shorten your life". However, a besieged and insane 'authority' will justify any sacrifice against its fears of a worse outcome if such 'authority' should be undermined. And so instead of establishing truth from the ground up and being open to criticism, they align in support of the lie to which the living must be sacrificed - and even 'educated' to volunteer or defend such a system against anything but submissive compliance.
I don't have to be a scientist to discern manipulative linguistic framing and refuse the bait. But I do have to love truth because it is true rather than protect invested identity because I want something to be true or not true.
