first monkeypox, now victory disease: an URGENT public service announcement
Now Spreading unchecked through the General Public: A NEW DEBILITATING CONDITION is RAMPANT AND BEING CAUSED BY A SOCIOPATHIC CONDITION
With 8 billion people on the planet, the frequency and intensity of pandemics is increasing. COVID-19 may have been the first pandemic in our living history, but there have been six new influenza pandemic episodes in the past 200 years and collectively, millions of people have died.
This is why it is more important than ever to closely monitor the breakout and progression cycles of new diseases that threaten to could foretell the next global pandemic.
There are currently numerous diseases being closely monitored by agencies worldwide, from Ebola to H5N1 to SARS. But these pale in comparison to Victory Disease, which is arguably more deadly than COVID-19. It has been laying dormant for most of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now it’s breaking out, and it’s already showing signs of catastrophic damage to society, the economy and our health.
Victory Disease is a horrific, two-pronged illness.
It’s starts manifesting as a psychological illness, a cognition (brain problem) and just like cognitive degeneration diseases including Alzheimers it can then causes physical sickness, both in the carrier of the disease and those in close proximity to them. At first, those with Victory Disease may feel social pressures as those around them tend to notice something “off” about their behavior. As emotional apathy sets in because of the disease they may be accused of having a malfunctioning moral compass.
Disease progression, while slow at first, begins to rapidly accelerate. Those afflicted with Victory Disease are predisposed to become unwitting hosts to a variety of other physical contagions like COVID-19, influenza, hepatitis, and various mental conditions, including extreme cognitive dissonance, sociopathy, and more.
In this article, I am going to summarize extensive research related to Victory Disease including:
What we know about Victory Disease including contagion and mortality concerns
Who is most susceptible, including high-risk categories
How to identify the infected: Symptoms and behaviors
What treatments exist for the infected
What measures you can take to prevent infection, for yourself, your family and others you congregate with
Relevant research will be cited continuously throughout and at the end of the article.
Victory Disease infection is clinically asymptomatic, which makes it particularly dangerous.
With global medical resources consumed with COVID-19, development of detection and diagnostics for Victory Disease has remained in the queue. Unfortunately, authorities believe that hundreds of thousands - even potentially millions - of people have been exposed to Victory Disease over the past two years, and it very likely is a crisis in waiting.
Those with Victory Disease are often asymptomatic for extended periods of time, ranging from weeks to months, and in some cases even years. This is what makes the disease so particularly dangerous. The afflicted party has no idea that their cognitive functions have been so drastically impaired, and, as a result, they operate under the false assumption that they are normal. This being the case, they move throughout society entirely oblivious of their condition, often affecting others within their social circles. This leads to latent conditions that can cause severe illness, mental impairment, physical agitation including bouts of intense anger and frustration.
In many cases it leads to severe outcomes including death before the infected party even realizes they are sick, because of secondary infections from diseases like COVID-19 that tend to negatively impact immune-compromised and elderly people with Victory Disease. In some rare cases, those suffering from Victory Disease actually come to realize it far too late. There have been numerous cases of individuals only recognizing the severity of their cognitive decline while on their death bed. But the majority of those afflicted with Victory Disease will not die right away. They remain asymptomatic so that the disease will spread, as they go on vacation, attend classes, and participate in routine but important life functions like homeowners association meetings and church.
This is because the disease is a highly correlated with economic-recession cycles.
Victory Disease HAS a disproportionate race and economic status impact.
It would appear that those infected are primarily white and originate in Western countries, including the United States, United Kingdom and Denmark, but unfortunately the disease is not geographically constrained. There appears to be a major breakout of the disease in Japan, with its epicenter in Tokyo. There is no clinical test for Victory Disease, so the infected can and do travel freely, carrying the disease with them and negatively impacting the population of people around them, ranging from stress-related illness all the way to death.
For some bizarre as yet unknown reason that modern-day socio-ethnographers have been unable to identify, Victory Disease appears to be extremely prominent mostly in affluent neighborhoods comprised of single-family homes. Very similar to COVID-19, it appears the disease does not discriminate based on political affiliations but tends to fluctuate in waves that seems to correlate to party affiliation, and may be somehow triggered by factors ranging from stress relief related to the economy or societal pressures.
Early warning signs of Victory Disease and how to spot cases
Those with Victory Disease almost never self-identify with the symptoms of the modern strain of the disease. In fact, one of the most common symptoms of early-onset pathogenesis is denial of the disease itself. Actively infected patients will aggressively deny their condition, and instead attack everyone else around them. Extreme paranoia, isolationism and entrenchment are common.
As the disease progresses, the infected have been found to reminisce over times they remember to be better or more advantageous to them. This, combined with extremely high agitation results in a proclivity toward being in the company of those with similar physical features to themselves. Any ability they once had to recognize differences in people, ranging from fashion to skin color to social disposition based on familiar brands (most notably, highly recognizable luxury brands including well-known largely endowed universities), is almost entirely lost. It is not unlike the most severe cases of paranoia brought on from social anxiety.
As patient agitation increases, the second symptom is disregard for their environment up to and including the welfare of others. This is where the cognitive degeneration associated with Victory Disease becomes extremely dangerous. Patients feel agitation so extreme that they believe they are no longer able to wear medical masks even in a pandemic. Utmost care must be taken at this stage when addressing someone infected with Victory Disease. Doctors, nurses and even non-medical staff may be assaulted and can be physically harmed by someone who has fundamentally lost their cognitive ability to reason.
An unprecedented impact on human capital
As the disease spreads across the world, cognitive functionality of people is being compromised in almost every occupation, professional and social group. A researcher in Kobe, Japan has been studying the effects of this cognitive decline and erratic behavior by those infected with Victory Disease, primarily looking at their ability to interact positively with others on social media and specifically on Twitter. “It’s incredible, what we are seeing,” says Gregorio Von Matterhorn, “it’s like they’ve been lobotomized. Their ability to perceive and respond to the needs of others has gone completely to zero. Even University professors, typically known for logical thinking, find themselves arguing on the Internet about stupid things like the virtue of masks while we are still in a pandemic.”
In Japan, society has been grappling with cognitive decline, rampant in the aging. Victory Disease is further exacerbating the situation with people of normal or even above-normal intellect making public displays of cognitive impairment. A professor from a prestigious Japanese university, when responding to a situational analysis of mask-wearing in public in Japan during the active pandemic, said this online, embarrassing himself and everyone associated with him:
Have you been to a restaurant or bar this year? Or a cinema, or indeed any indoor space where you remain for a prolonged period of time? If you are that worried, you should stop doing these things.
It is incredibly sad to see a professor in such a state of decline, whether it’s emotional or intellectual .
Known treatments for Victory Disease
At this time there are no known treatments for Victory Disease. There are however two known therapies.
Combined with alternative group intervention and counseling, it is perhaps possible that these two video-therapeutic systems, when presented in the correct environment, may help someone suffering from the debilitating cognitive degradation associated with Victory Disease:
Victory Disease mitigation and preventative measures
While significant research has been done in Kobe, Japan on Victory Disease, we still know very little about the causes of Victory Disease, and more important, how we can help those affected. It does appear that mask-wearing is an important predictor of prevention and recovery.
Regarding Victory Disease Recovery
After regaining a recognition that other people exist in the world, and after regaining human sensorial functionality including empathy, compassion and fundamental logical awareness of reality in general, recovery is possible. Yet we still do not have data that confirms the likelihood of successful reintegration into the human race.
