Both of them questioned the medical industry heavily prior to this, so it is a sharp about face, and has me wondering what is going on here.
Well this settles into my brain making a horrible kind of sense.
I've been questioning for a while now why so many of the pagans/occult-types/witches/etc I know and those in the broader circles I travel in have been so...easily taken in by this whole psyop, to this day supporting it with mandatory C19 vaccinations for in-person events.
Similarly, a lot of these folks I know were the types to question the medical establishment and pharmaceuticals. Even those who needed to take pharma drugs for certain reasons would still question Big Pharma on the whole; now if I say "Big Pharma" they call me a right-wing conspiracy theorist.
It has been truly baffling to me, the about-face. Your hypothesis sounds plausible to me, at least as one part of the puzzle.
(Note: I'm in Canada, but TDS levels up here are similar, as is an obsession with US Politics. I go so far as to say our national discourse has been poisoned with it, to the point where many Canadians aren't even aware of what's happening in our country because they're so invested in what's happening to the south of us. If they are aware, they parrot media talking points that paint everything up here in similar colours as in the south, as if we only have 2 sides and one is Bad.
The pagan-types I know up here are generally no exception to this problem.)
