From our brother Anons in France:
Didier Raoult, Director of the University Hospitals Institute of Mediterranean Infections, testified to the French Senate that:
When you tell people that they are going to die, sections of the brain shut down; this is called the nocebo effect. When this is told to them every evening on TV, they believe it, the nocebo effect, and this phenomenon is radiologically visible.
"Quand vous dites aux gens qu'ils vont mourir, on voit les zones qui s'éteignent dans le cerveau, ça s'appelle l'effet nocebo. Quand on dit ça tous les soirs à la télé, on crée l'effet nocebo, qui est visible radiologiquement"
