Here in NZ, in addition being hit over the head constantly with "safe and effective," we were subjected to the endless "we're a team of 5 million" [who are instructed to get the jabs to help our other "team members"], and that, of course, plays on humans' psychological need to "belong," to be praiseworthy as altruistic. The "selfish anti-vaxxers" were to be shunned as not good enough to be on The Team.
When I was 13 my maths teacher was fond of saying "Repetition is the mother of the learning process." and was pleased to demonstrate by memorising every students name for the second class we had. That was 40 years ago but it has stuck in my mind. More recently and from a few directions I have been informed that one needs exposure to 5-7 instances of a new concept, product or brand before we are likely to be comfortable enough to make an impulse purchase.
These are all standard brainwashing techniques that the advertising industry has polished over the decades.
Ros Nealon-Cook a child psychologist in Australia recently said (in an interview with Dr John Campbell) that most psychology graduates go into marketing fields rather than healing, the pay is better because capitalism is profitable, once you have mass production and automated shipping licked the only thing needed to print money id to market your product effectively, the utility and quality of your product has little bearing to how many suckers there are out there.
I think it was this video, no transcript so could not find the point. The whole video is worth watching.
“Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not.” — this is a spiritual practice as well. If anyone’s read “Think and Grow Rich,” for someone to grow their faith, it helps to repeat positive affirmations, prayers, etc.
But this was a good read, thanks for this. I got an idea as I was reading this: just as they have their repetitious words and phrases (ie: anti-vaxxer or ‘safe and effective’), we should have our own phrases that can spread (eg; dangerous and faulty, or, media-follower). In a sense, fire w/ fire.

Curious in any thoughts here.
PS: as we see, the repetition is spiritual, and something else that was spiritual was the masks wearing. Here’s a topic on that: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-i-dont-wear-a-mask
