Motor paralysis is the result of a lesion impacting the motor cortex of the cerebral cortex, triggered by a “flight conflict” that initiates a meaningful biological special program.
This biological response occurs when escaping a “predator” is no longer possible, and the body resorts to a death-feigning reflex as a last resort to survive a life-threatening or seemingly fatal situation. The predator is typically someone or something that holds us in check or exerts power over us. Thus, the individual feels like prey or a victim in the situation.

When paralysis affects a child, the conflict is either experienced by the child themselves or by their mother, and the child adopts it for survival purposes, to serve them in the current situation and protect their life in the future.
Hungary’s Situation at the End of 1956
The United States’ Situation in the Early 1950s
In the early 1950s, Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy launched a “witch hunt” in the United States against communists and those suspected of communism. People were accused without evidence, labeled as communists, and faced imprisonment as retaliation. Those unwilling to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee often lost their jobs and endured constant harassment. Prejudices were so rampant that citizens with roots in socialist countries were automatically branded as communists. In some cases, authorities used coercion to extract confessions, leading many to falsely implicate friends or relatives out of fear.
Examining the nature of the flight conflict, it’s clear that it always involves facing an overwhelmingly powerful force where fighting offers no chance of victory (or even survival) and escape is impossible.
No matter what we do, no matter how we respond, it only worsens the situation. The only biologically appropriate response is to remain still, to “play dead”—because if we’re “already dead,” there’s no need for further harm, pursuit, or torment.
So, What Causes Epidemics to End? And What Role Do Vaccines Play?
-
We find a solution to our problem—for example, in the case of a flight conflict and (childhood) paralysis, escaping the threatening environment, such as moving to another country.
-
The problem ceases—the “predator” or oppressive power disappears.
-
We grow accustomed to and accept the situation, resigning ourselves to it.
In this context, people aren’t only fleeing the primary conflict caused by the societal situation but also the resulting condition—in this case, the perceived “infection” with the poliovirus and paralysis. If we feel unable to escape “infection” or “the clutches of the disease,” it can similarly result in paralysis.
The Role of Vaccines
Since (natural) conditions only arise from biological conflicts, the severity depends on the conflict’s duration and the intensity of the emotions experienced. Microorganisms are part of the regeneration process, so vaccines generally don’t play a role in preventing epidemic spread, with one exception: they can provide reassurance to those specifically fearing the secondary conflict of infection.
In epidemics, a vaccine is like a “magic stone” claimed to protect us from harm as long as we possess it.
As long as someone fully believes in its “magic power” and trusts it provides protection, it can eliminate the “fear of infection” associated with the disease from their conflicts. But this only applies to that specific fear and only until the slightest doubt creeps in or they encounter information contradicting their belief, at which point the placebo effect is lost.
Thus, this only addresses the fear of infection, as the individual’s belief eliminates that fear, and without emotion, there’s no condition.
If someone develops a flight conflict for any other reason, paralysis will still be the outcome.
For example, paralysis symptoms attributed to vaccine side effects are often caused by “fear of mandatory vaccination” or “attempting to escape mandatory vaccination.”
