Social Isolation Has Been Weaponized

"Social isolation refers to a complete or near-complete lack of contact with society for members of a social species. It is usually involuntary, making it distinct from isolating tendencies or actions consciously undertaken by a person, all of which go by various other names. It is also not the same as loneliness rooted in temporary lack of contact with other humans. Social isolation can be an issue for anyone despite their age, each age group may show more symptoms than the other as children are different from adults." [link to en.wikipedia.org]

"To tease apart the effects of being alone versus just feeling lonely, Steptoe and his colleagues examined data from 6500 Britons aged 50 and up who had filled out questionnaires assessing their levels of loneliness. The researchers also tabulated the subjects’ contacts with friends, family, religious groups, and other organizations to gauge their social connections. Then they counted how many subjects died over a 7-year period.!

The most socially isolated subjects had a 26% greater risk of dying, even when sex, age, and other factors linked to survival were accounted for, the researchers report online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They then tweaked their model to determine whether the connection to death was due to the fact that isolated people are often lonely. It wasn’t."

"These findings indicate that the influence of social relationships on the risk of death are comparable with well-established risk factors for mortality such as smoking and alcohol consumption and exceed the influence of other risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity. Furthermore, the overall effect of social relationships on mortality reported in this meta-analysis might be an underestimate, because many of the studies used simple single-item measures of social isolation rather than a complex measurement. Although further research is needed to determine exactly how social relationships can be used to reduce mortality risk, physicians, health professionals, educators, and the media should now acknowledge that social relationships influence the health outcomes of adults and should take social relationships as seriously as other risk factors that affect mortality, the researchers conclude."

It is clear that this is being studied and weaponized by the same people who are currently using the feds to attack the free speech rights of individuals by initiating bogus investigations on targeted members of the population.

Social isolation is simply another tool that has been developed to target certain citizens who are being assailed with other COINTELPRO methods that are used in conjunction with defamation campaigns that are designed to promote the social isolation of the target.

In addition, I believe that the social structure is being deliberately designed to cause social isolation of citizens on the whole, but is particularly valuable for the social engineers for eliminating members of the elderly population as a cost saving measure as well.
