End of Year survey 2024

Survey conducted during March 2025, published April 10^th 2025

Control Group Cooperative Ltd.

Introduction

The aim of this survey was to find out how Control Group participants felt their overall health was in 2024, to understand how their attitudes to allopathic medicine may have changed after the COVID pandemic era, their health goals moving forward and the challenges they feel they face.

The questions were:

During 2024, was your health mostly: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, or Very poor?
How has your attitude towards conventional / allopathic medicine changed since 2020?
What is your overall perspective on life, health and well-being going into 2025?
What is the main reason you feel this way?
What do you currently consider the biggest challenge to your health?
What is your most important health or wellness goal for 2025?
Do you feel the pandemic era has caused you to take a more active role in your health?
Confirm your COVID vaccination status
Confirm your Childhood vaccination status

How was the survey conducted?

The online survey was time-limited from 1^st March 2025 to 31^st March 2025, and open to all existing Control Group (CG) participants over the age of 18 years. Respondents had to login to their CG account to access the survey, which was self-reported, with nine questions, being a mix of multiple-choice questions and free-text entries.

3882 people took part, with 485 under the age of 40 (12%) and the 3397 (88%) over the age of 40.

Limitations

Almost all the respondents are COVID unvaccinated (approx. 98%) with most of these people already being health-aware and suspicious of mainstream medicine (by virtue of being a member of the Control Group) and therefore any change shown in attitude toward allopathic medicine is likely to be different to the general population.

Most of the participants are in the over 40 age range, so there is not an even spread across adult age-brackets.

Q8. Please confirm your COVID vaccination status

Responses

Unvaccinated = 3811 (98.16%), Vaccinated = 71 (1.83%)

Q9. Please confirm your Childhood vaccination status

Responses

I had some or all childhood vaccines = 3655 (94.15%), I have never had any childhood vaccines = 227 (5.85%)

Q1. During 2024, was your health mostly: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, or Very poor?

The majority of respondents reported having a positive perception of their health in 2024, with 42.97% rating it as “Excellent” and 46.37% rating it as “Good.”

A smaller portion of respondents (8.37%) described their health as “Fair,” indicating some challenges but not severe issues. Meanwhile, only a very small minority reported struggling significantly with their health, with 1.93% rating it as “Poor” and just 0.36% as “Very Poor.”

Overall, these responses reflect a generally optimistic view of personal health in 2024, with most individuals feeling they were in good or excellent condition. However, a small portion of the population still faced notable health struggles.

Responses (all respondents)

Excellent = 42.97%, Good = 46.37%, Fair = 8.37%, Poor = 1.93%, Very poor = 0.36%

Age range of respondents

The age demographic of Control Group survey respondents was mostly in older, with 88% of survey respondents over the age of 40, and of those, 81% being 50 and over, and with 23% of those being aged 70 and over.

According to a study by ICL (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57982476), 34% of 46 to 48 year-olds have 1 or more chronic health condition, and approximately 28% of people aged 50 and over in England self-reported that they were not in good health (https://ageing-better.org.uk/health-and-wellbeing-state-ageing-2023-4).

89.34% of our respondents reported being in Good or Excellent health in 2024, with only 2.29% reporting Poor or Very poor.

Comparing responses for COVID Vaccinated / Unvaccinated

Please note that the low numbers of COVID vaccinated respondents may not be truly representative of the wider COVID vaccinated population.

Q2. How has your attitude towards conventional / allopathic medicine changed since 2020?

Responses

I have always preferred natural remedies = 28.28%

I no longer engage with allopathic medicine at all = 16.07%

I still trust allopathic medicine = 3.53%

The responses indicate a strong shift away from conventional (allopathic) medicine, with a majority (52.11%) stating they try to find natural alternatives whenever possible. Additionally, 16.07% have completely disengaged from allopathic medicine, suggesting a significant level of distrust or dissatisfaction.

Respondents express strong feelings of betrayal by institutions, particularly the healthcare system, government, and pharmaceutical industry. There is a recurring sense of being silenced, abandoned, or powerless, with themes of anger and sadness frequently intertwined.

Distrust in Government and Institutions

Overall Sentiment from “Neutral” Respondents

The general tone is one of emotional ambivalence, frustration, and cautious acceptance. Many respondents show signs of being mentally and physically strained, but not entirely without hope. This neutrality often comes from a mix of personal difficulties and broader social disillusionment, leaving people feeling stuck somewhere between optimism and despair.

Personal Hardship and Emotional Fatigue
Several respondents are dealing with relationship breakdowns, unemployment, chronic illness, and emotional detachment.
These personal setbacks contribute to a feeling of being burned out or numb, and respondents neither expect dramatic improvement nor complete collapse.
Residual Tension from the Pandemic Era
Many expressed ongoing mistrust in the medical system, grievances about mandates, and vaccine-related tensions—including job loss, discrimination, and lack of accountability.
This leaves them in a space of acceptance but not peace, where they have learned to expect little from institutions.
Frustration with the Health System
Common complaints include long doctor wait times, inaccessibility of medications, and unresolved chronic conditions, even among those who live healthy lifestyles.
These challenges contribute to a lack of progress or hope, even if one is trying to maintain their health.
scepticism and Distrust Toward Authorities
Respondents express deep scepticism toward the Australian government, mainstream media, and medical institutions.
There is a repeated feeling that people are asleep, still trusting broken systems, which fuels cynicism but not outright despair.
Anger, Disillusionment, and Occasional Sarcasm
A few responses were laced with anger, sarcasm, and even conspiratorial or violent rhetoric, reflecting a deep distrust of power structures.
This sentiment, while negative, is not completely hopeless—it’s more a reflection of alienation or political protest.
Some Glimmers of Positivity and Control
Despite the tone, some respondents note a sense of personal wellbeing, separate from the state of the world.
These individuals feel neutral because they compartmentalize personal wellness and public dysfunction, often continuing to live healthy lives amid chaos.

Overall Sentiment from “Neutral” Respondents

The tone is cautiously detached and reflective, shaped by a blend of personal health stability, political scepticism, and uncertainty about the future. These respondents are not completely without hope, but feel constrained by societal, governmental, and systemic dysfunction. Their neutrality often reflects a sense of weariness, mistrust, or resignation, rather than genuine emotional balance

Good Personal Health, But Concerns About Society
Many respondents mention feeling physically well, but they contrast this with anxiety over broader political, environmental, and medical issues.
Several speak of managing aging or minor ailments but still living actively.

Several respondents lament that “people are still asleep”, referring to the public’s perceived lack of awareness about health truths, government overreach, or media bias.
This creates cynicism and emotional fatigue, as they feel societal change is unlikely.

A few individuals mention coming to terms with aging or nearing the end of life, resulting in a more neutral or resigned perspective.
Some find comfort in spiritual beliefs, while others are simply pragmatic about time.
Emotional Ambiguity or Conflict

The inability to pick one emotional state reflects their complex internal conflict.
