Whether or not the fear was actually causing deaths, who knows. Seeing that all-cause mortality didn’t spike, seems unlikely there were placebo deaths. However. I think the psy-op caused tons of folks to actually believe their symptoms were much worse than normal. Every time I’ve ever had a cold/flu in the past, I’ve felt as if I was “dying”, but psychologically I knew it was just typical illness that would pass. For millions who suddenly believed they could die from “it”, that caused a total shift in mindset for the masses. Many went to hospital for something they never would have in the past, further adding to the trauma/hysteria…and who knows what effects the protocols had which were being implemented to hospital patients.
