i think the suspicions part is the most fun:
"It must be dragons! I saw a dragon-newt in the woods! At least, I think it was."
"It's those damn lunars making us think we're healthy! It's all a big trick. As sson as we start worshiper Her, we'll get sic again."
"Blame the trickster!"
"It's all because I'm such a great chief that the gods have blessed us."
"Our healer is so good that she doesn't even need to do anything to heal people. We're famous!"
"I must be Illuminati! They're everywhere."
"Your clan is just sending all the sickness spirits or way. We'll raid you unless you stop!"
Then, when the effect starts to fade, there's even more blame to dish out, especially to anyone who previously claimed credit.
