I noticed this effect even pre-covid. How the vaccine schedule just kept expanding and expanding, and anyone who said even so much as "you know, not all of these diseases are the same, all medical interventions have risks, there are risk-benefit issues to each individual vaccine, as well as financial incentives behind the ever-expanding recommendations, so maybe we're over-using vaccines and need to re-think this a bit?" would be attacked and called names. It's been a religion longer than just covid. And you can't use evidence to argue with faith.
