There may be a sliding scale of danger in no particular order: fanaticism, complacency, compliance, and just sheer willful ignorance. In the COVID era, these varying degrees all coalesced in a hurry.

Which is how you get venomous hatred (not a Brian Ardis reference!) directed towards the control group who just did their research.

The complacent take a rocket ride to fanatical because they just can't bear to admit that they got played. That they were lied to, and they bought the lie.

This is what Dr. Byram Bridle was discussing with Kirsch. People think the unjabbed are going to kill them. It's crazy and it all rests on not being "anti-vax" in their mind. All the old definitions that it conjures up.

It's a pattern recognition error of sorts.

I like that sliding scale idea. Summarizes the situation nicely.
