Yes, slightly clickbait, but hear me out. I think this is one of the reasons so many people have alarms going off in their heads about the vax.

Initiation: The vax. All cults have an initiation to separate the "in" group from the "out" group. The booster is another initiation deeper into the church.

A Mark: The vax passport. This is why they want to implement it. This is not a bodily mark, as many initiations do (don't believe me? Catholics, which are not a cult, mark members for ash Wednesday), so it's a slightly weaker link. They want to only do business with others in their cult.

Separation: The in/out groups from above are driven apart by the "in" group's choice. They are told by their higher powers in the cult to stay away from anyone, even family and friends, that isn't in their group. This is a key characteristic of a cult compared to a religion. Anyone who turns against them is unpersoned.

Leadership: Leaders of the vax group are approved media members who say the right things about the vax. In particular, the high priest of this cult is, obviously, Fauci. Unwavering belief in the tenets of the cult is expected, even when it contradicts what was said 3 months ago, or when it causes distress or direct harm (see Australia).

The question is whether the government utilized what was happening or planned it all along.

If anyone has any additions to this, let me know, and I'll add them. This is not to say if you got the vax, you did something wrong. This is just an analysis as to why half the country seems to have gone mad- they fell for the cult.
