Dear Dr. Yeadon,

This is a bit off topic, but I wanted to thank you for your early warnings about the jibby jabs.

The information you provided enabled me to politely push back when my doctor heavily pressured me to take the shot in early 2021. My family history includes heart disease and a clotting disorder, and my refusal of the jab likely saved my life - thanks to you.

Also, I see from your recent interviews that you believe your message is not reaching a wide audience, and sometimes you seem sad about that possibility. But I believe you've reached many more people than you know. My circle of friends/family (a large circle) follows you closely, shares links to your interviews, and works daily to inform others of potential harms.

You have educated many, and saved many lives. Thank you!

Hello Dr. Mike Yeadon,

I'm glad to see that you came across the Mass Psychogenic Illness Phenomena too. I've researched this topic quite a lot and suggest you to read the paper "ASID - Ambiguous Self-Induced Disinformation Attack". It reads like a manual for how to use information warfare tactics to artificially create this MPI phenomena on a massive scale. All under the pretext of national self-defense against foreign attacks, of course. When I came across this paper I was already convinced that this phenomena had been weaponized during the pseudo-pandemic after having researched it quite a lot. I could share some of my findings with you if you are interested. Also I have the theory of how a very important propaganda technique was used to stage the pseudo-pandemic by polarizing the society and inducing "group think" (some argue that MPIs are also a kind of groupthink). It is called "alternative choice-double-bind" and it (and other types of double-binds) was also used during the gulf war as a propaganda tool to polarize the society and preemptively defame critics as far right according to the important research of the psychologist Wilhelm Kempf and others. According to Kempf these double-binds don't have to always consist of two messages contradicting each other. By the way, the "two-sided-message" research, on which these propaganda double-binds are said to be based, later developed into the "Inoculation theory" which is now heavily used by the many so-called fact checkers out there. Interestingly Irving Janis, who developed the groupthink theory, also researched the two-sided-messages. Basically I think the zoonotic vs. lab-leak narrative is exactly this kind of alternative-choice double-bind, which made it easy to defame any criticm as far right or racism thanks also to Trump and others. But no matter for which of those two narratives you decide you always choose fear of a supposedly deadly virus and the injection (which according to Trump "you are free to choose", which is a well-known phrase in persuasion science). And there is much more. I would love to hear your thoughts.
