I'm reading now "A State of Fear," by Laura Dodsworth documenting how governments manipulate us by exaggerating the dangers of Covid and minimizing the dangers of vaccines, lockdowns, masks, etc. She cites this reference: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103120304248

The title is "Moralization of Covid-19 health response: Asymmetry in tolerance for human costs." Many people describe the response of vaccinated people and journalists championing the vaccines as similar to a religion. This article describes our human community as similar to a religious group. Disagree or dissent, and you get excommunicated. Fear of immorality makes people unable to embrace dissent. A great paper which I only just now started to read.
