CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

A close friend of mine gets her first AZ jab today. I'm a bit toey about it but she's very confident it will be OK.

Let's hope so, the probability is high she'll have no major problems.

The large amount of cynical and sceptical commentary is out of proportion to the risk and so it makes society paranoid. It's fair to be sceptical, but in proportion to the risk and based on facts not fictions or opinions. Apparently, just the fear caused by this social media commentary has a real world effect as it can increase events like syncope due to heightened stress levels. Blood chemistry can change in anticipation.

Studies conducted into laboratory mouse / rodent handling techniques years and years ago, which found how the technicians picked the animals up had a real world effect on stress levels and so altered the results of many studies.
