It's instead a conversation about, hey, am I going to be respected by my family and friends and part of the tribe if I choose to not get the vaccine? So for me, there wasn't much of a questioning process. I just got the vaccine out of default because all of my friend groups were doing it.

I worked at a company and like to even not get the vaccine at the company was to risk getting unemployed as well. And I think many people there in similar environments where there's so much social reinforcement that the decision is pretty much predetermined for them.

So when we think about manipulation, usually with manipulation, there's some sort of element of fear like, oh, if you don't follow the narrative, then you're going to be excommunicated from the tribe and you're going to have all sorts of other problems. And Especially in complicated topics like health, where we're learning new things every day.

I mean, we used to be told the food pyramid is eat a bunch of carbohydrates, and now we're updating our view of what actually real health is. People just default to who they trust. Most people don't actually have the capacity to do the science themselves, so they say things like, trust the science. But even the term, like, the science is kind of incoherent. Like, what is the science?

The science is not an institution. The science is not a body of knowledge. Science is a process of inquiry, right? So it's dynamic. It's always changing. But the way that we were approaching the vaccines was dogmatic and actually unscientific. Not saying that there weren't scientists doing real research on COVID, but the social propaganda was very much Don't do your research. Don't ask questions.

Don't seek to understand. Just do this thing. Otherwise, you're a bad person. And that's one of the most acute examples of manipulation when it comes to people's personal health.

I didn't have the confidence because I did get the vaccine. Ultimately, I did capitulate. But what I noticed was that there was this trend of me being told I need to be afraid. And then when the actual thing happened, it didn't seem as bad as what I was told it was going to be. So I'll give you an incident that's related around the same time. George Floyd. Right.

So at the time of George Floyd, I was living in L.A. I'm black. There was this incident involving a white cop and a black man. Right. And I remember seeing the reaction from everyone around me being, oh my God, black people are being so oppressed and there's so much police brutality toward black people.
