I’m not sure DeSmet ever used the word “psychosis”? I think Dr. Malone was the first to use it, and in fact I think DeSmet gently corrected him on it later. Of course, Malone is humble and deferred to DeSmet. We are all learning. 🙂
Thanks for writing the essay. Desmet was interviewed on Corona Ausschuss and clearly said he would not add the term "psychosis". Mark McDonald M.D. from southern Cal wrote a book "U.S. of Fear" and uses the term "mass delusional psychosis." I have seen shows mention that it seems to be a morphing of the two. I subscribe to Dr. Malone on substack.
My opinion would probably be in line with Thomas Szasz and R.D. Laing, if they would have one. To expand ,as you mentioned , from "The Three Christs of Ypsilanti" to billions of individuals is a problem for me.
If one determines a source of absolute truth you are already in an opinion realm. Empirical Science has been different ideas at various times and areas. More importantly is someone going to call all beliefs using faith delusional. R i Denmark there is no need to expand further as you understand my perspective. I was looking forward to discussion on the terms.
Dr. Malone worked for the DOD. His job was to develop vaccines for possible bioweapons. I do wonder how he did not read the scientific papers published in the last 20 year as he is very well read. Thanks for your time. Peace.
Those Psychologists and Psychiatrists who haven't understood this psychosis will be treating people incorrectly. If these doctors respond from the mainstream narrative, people who rightfully feel prosecuted will be deemed insane. I would think that as with medical doctors many Psych doctors have not come out of the darkness.

I did hear that Desmet prefers other terminology. It's difficult to get to an original source, because I don't believe Desmet published the theory.

Thanks for your article. Tim
Thanks Tim.
Yes exactly. And so they can pathologize (gaslight) people who rightly believe this is wrong.
Not great with mental illness on the rise.
I have an alternate view on why people are easy to manipulate. My article is titled
How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking?
Low salt leads to chronic dehydration and chronic adrenal control. The adrenals bring the flight, fight, freeze response to the fore.
Chronic adrenal control leads to stress intolerance and chronic anxiety, panic attacks and more.
I outline the physiology of hydration and the role of salt.
I suggest we all get salty and return to frontal cortex thinking, a considered response (hydration) instead of a fear based reaction (dehydration).
