CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

According to wikipedia, one of the main proponents of this idea is James G Hamilton. Wikipedia cites one of his papers from 1995. That's 30 years ago. I'd be curious to see the current consensus view on this among psychologists.

Yes, I don't think the needle fear issue can questioned as it's self-evident in one form or another, but the association of anti-vax / anti-5G (with the associated micro-chips in the blood conspiracies) and other phobias is interesting.

Hamilton and his peers often discuss involuntary syncope as a key indicator something other than a conscious reaction is happening here.

I have an associate, somewhat considered to be a physical brute, +200cm and +100kg, manual labourer, callouses on callouses, muscles on muscles, is brought to his knees by a 34G needle, something so fine it is barely seen or registers for many people! His fear is irrational and for him a source of embarrassment, I've seen him brought to tears by a travel vaccination, so distraught over how his reaction would be viewed by his children he arranged separate appointments. It's a real world effect.
