"In the 60s, the KGB did some fascinating psychological experiments. They learned that if you bombard the human subjects with fear messages nonstop, in two months or less most of the subjects are completely brainwashed to believe a false message(i.e. a lie). To the point that no amount of clear, correct, accurate information (i.e. the truth) they are shown, to the contrary, can change their mind."
Nonstop fear messages, like covid-19 fake news.
