Earlier this month, Twitchy shared some thoughts from Jennifer Sey, the former Levi-Strauss executive who was forced out for standing up to COVID dictates from businesses and the government. Sey reminded us that for some people, COVID can never be over, mainly because of what the government did to them. Their stories are tragic and a complete indictment of government actions during the pandemic.
But we are finding out that there is another group for whom COVID might never be over: the people who went along with everything and willingly complied with every demand. A new study from Bangor University in Wales is showing that the more compliant people were concerning health and government mandates, the more likely they are to have mental health issues today, specifically anxiety and depression.
Shocking, we know.
The Messenger (@TheMessenger) ~ People who followed COVID recommendations more likely to have mental health issues now.

"People with communal personalities were more likely to strictly adhere to COVID restrictions. Follow-up mental health assessments that took place every two weeks from February to May 2023 revealed that this group was also more likely to have lower overall wellbeing in comparison to the agentic personalities."
This news came as a complete surprise to everyone on Twitter/X, with most people reaching the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, those mental health issues might have been pre-existing.
THERE. It. IS. Yep, the people who submissively complied with every suggestion and mandate regarding Covid-19 issued by the government were weak-minded, insecure, emotionally disturbed simps to begin with. So, the advent of Covid-19 and the subsequent government fear-porn and lockdowns did not make these half-wits anxious or depressed - they were already bonkers - it just pushed them that more quickly over the edge.
john jackson (@pvtjokerus) ~ So you're saying that people who wore two masks while driving in their car alone might be a few cans short of a six-pack?
Shocking.
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) ~ "Now"?
Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) ~ People with mental health issues were always more likely to follow COVID recommendations.
But wait. It gets even better. Here is an excerpt from the press release from Bangor University (emphasis added):
"Our findings suggest that, although increasing worry is effective in driving behavioural compliance during pandemics, using such strategies undermines people’s well-being and psychological recovery. Specifically, people with higher Communal traits are likely to still be suffering from the effects of the lockdown period for some time after restrictions end.
"Communal traits" = having a hive mind, in other words, they are Democrats.
"Increasing worry is effective in driving compliance"? WTF? Even today, we see how out of whack their priorities are.
Yeah, constant broadcasting of fear-porn to make the hive members weak in the knees ...
How about just being honest and accurate? Did that never occur to anyone? And they wonder why no one trusts them anymore, and the few people who did trust them are riddled with anxiety.
Kent Moore (@kentrmoore) ~ "Science" - wear a mask that has always warned “does not stop virus transmission.” Wear that mask to your table, but it’s okay to remove once you sit down.
"Science" - Covid is exhaled and trails behind you, but let’s make everyone follow each other in the store.
"Science" - let your packages stay on the porch for 5-7 days.
"Science" - the vaccine is 100% safe and effective. Also, if you question safety or efficacy, you’re canceled. "Science" says no one must question.
"Science" - avoid large gatherings. Also "science" - it’s okay to shop at big box mass gathering stores.
"Science" - this person who needs to earn a living is non-essential, but that person over there who also needs to earn a living is essential.
Also "science" - we’re going to conspire with social media companies to suppress questions about COVID, treatments, and vaccines.
So, not only has the “science” produced more crazies, the “science” has created more distrust in the medical community, and rightfully so, than just about any other time in history.
Well done!
And there it is in a nutshell. No one should ever be surprised that some people, particularly the compliant people, have depression and anxiety today because the actions from governments and the medical establishment throughout COVID were designed to create exactly that.
It will take generations for people to ever trust them again ... if ever.
