like thisThe number one question I get, when I explain to people that viruses are not alive, nor are they contagious, is “how do you explain people who get sick together?”
It’s a good question.
People appear to get sick together for a variety of reasons including:
? They ate the same foods
? They were exposed to the same toxin at roughly the same time (common for groups of people like families + classrooms + gyms…etc)
? They indulged in refined sugar over the same holidays (this one is big. No one should wonder why they get sick during any holiday season. ? Poison in = detox out)
? our bodies communicate to each other on levels we don’t understand
Another reason is this one: we all have a tendency as humans to fall for confirmation bias.
Confirmation bias keeps us safe. Humans do not like their beliefs challenged…
…Confirmation bias means we will automatically seek information which confirms our existing programmed thoughts and we dismiss unconsciously any information which does not fit the preprogrammed ideas.
???? So if 5 children in a class of 20 experience detox symptoms around the same time, and we have been taught to believe the myth of contagion, we see the 5 children and we get our bias confirmed.
HOWEVER, we completely ignore the 15 other children who had no detox symptoms.
We ignore them because they do not reinforce the preprogrammed bias so our brains automatically filter that information and put less weight to that information.
Oftentimes….what you see…is not really the reality.
Thank you for this Jessica Lynn Haller.
