Yes, as I understand it, people can make themselves sick. I think it's in the book "Turtles All the Way Down" where it describes how they would take subjects in an experiment to a darkened room, get someone to make a sneezing sound, and spray water on the subjects and they would get sick. Then get better soon after they were told what really happened. The mind is powerful.

However, the people I saw had the tell tale skin rash, red eyes, etc.

I am not convinced. Derren Brown did a show where he made people get stuck to their seats just from a short film. How much more convinced could they get they were going to "catch" 'measles' if there is all this stuff going on for weeks and people saying it is the community and there is shedding and they start seeing other people around them saying they got 'it' etc? I remember making myself sick once coz I didn't want to go to school.

Nice alert show FLBK. I'm a baby boomer. A junior Septuagenarian. Now with that information, and based on your audience, will know this. "cod liver oil" was a basic cure for everything. And man was it nasty! I remember getting my nose pinched, just for my mom to administrator it to us. This was an annual fall and winter home remedy. But, by da time I was of school age, measles and mumps was one of those required vaccine. Parents of baby boomers, had some ridiculous remedies. But they worked. By da sixties, vaccine became da new remedies. One more point, if I may. Shingles! Supposedly it's da same virus that caused chickenpox. I never had chickenpox, and I never had da vaccine for it. Now they're pushing or shell I say, pedaling a vaccine for shingles. I am sure, by now, everyone has heard da false evidence appearing real (FEAR). I'm sorry for ranting. Great show... until da next time. Keep bringing FLBK! LTL!
