Immaculate Conception of Vaccine Psychology

Regardless of whether you or I as adults embrace or reject vaccinations, we must acknowledge that we are indoctrinated into the vaccine paradigm starting at a very early age: to us as children, vaccines are symbolic—inaccurately symbolic—of knowledge of the world, … beneficence, professionalism, trustworthiness, … the educated class, a special class of people who are more respected, better paid, more knowledgeable and more powerful than the parents and caretakers on whom we are completely dependent, … and our progressive maturation out of childhood, especially as vaccines are administered on a schedule that commonly corresponds with our birthdays.

When we are children, our most recurrent initial exposures and initial impressions of “doctor” is a collage of waiting rooms, cold stethoscopes, crinkly paper atop the examination table, and vaccinations; probably the stress of being sick and scared and receiving the message that doctors will help us, save us, and protect us induces a sort of trauma bonding, a miniature version of Stockholm Syndrome wherein we learn to take pain and suppress our fears and judgments in exchange for the receipt and/or illusion of safety and protection. As small children, we are helplessly trapped by our ignorance, illness, and youthful inexperience, and the doctor saves us--so we are told and so we think. The doctor symbolizes someone even more knowledgeable and more powerful than our parents and daily caretakers; the doctor has supernatural and superhuman powers. We are sincerely grateful and say, in effect, “Anything you want me to do, I will do it.” Mom holds us close and reassures us that this is for our own good, protection, and that everything will be ok; we learn that getting vaccines is part of growing up, becoming more responsible, and as such we are being taught that vaccines are symbolic of maturity and the power of adulthood. In childhood psychology, vaccination is symbolic, a rite of passage, something we have to endure if we want to grow up. As such, the preservation of our safety and actualization of our self and ego are dependent upon submission to these shots. Accept vaccination, and you are safe in the moment and more powerful in the future—at least that is what the illusion holds. Reject vaccination as a child, and you’ll get told how bad you are, you won’t get hugs, reassurance, and candy, you might get hit or spanked, and you’ll get forcibly held down and vaccinated anyway, so you might as well give in. Once the will is broken, the next round of vaccinations and submissions will be easier, for both the child and the parent.

Regardless of whether you or I as adults embrace or reject vaccinations, we must acknowledge that we are indoctrinated into the vaccine paradigm starting at a very early age: to us as children, vaccines are symbolic—inaccurately symbolic—of knowledge of the world, science, beneficence, professionalism, trustworthiness, higher-level income, the educated class, a special class of people who are more respected, better paid, more knowledgeable and more powerful than the parents and caretakers on whom we are completely dependent, adulthood, and our progressive maturation out of childhood, especially as vaccines are administered on a schedule that commonly corresponds with our birthdays.

Rights and Symbols of Initiation, or—in this case—Indoctrination

In his book Rites and Symbols of Initiation (1998), Mircea Eliade describes basic patterns of initiation, each of which correspond (=) to the vaccination indoctrination:

1) group puberty rites = childhood vaccines, given on birthdays and other milestones,

2) entrance into secret cults = receiving mandatory vaccines in order to attend school and stay in college and medical school,

3) shamanic instruction = vaccines are always administered in a top-down hierarchy after they have been blessed by people who are invisible and in contact with special knowledge and information not available to commoners,

4) heroic rites of passage = vaccine passports, ability to work, travel, and be accepted.

Vaccines are symbolic of medicine, science, and authority; they are part of the image of Western culture's incessant battle with and recurrent self-proclaimed and self-adoring "triumphs" over nature and anything that is "not us" or "comes from outside." As such, most doctors never question vaccines and come to love them as a child loves a tattered blanket or favorite plaything. Because of the severe abusiveness of the medical training process, most physicians have Stockholm syndrome (emotional affection towards and psychological alignment with one's captors/abusers) and are overly and blindly devoted to the system that abused them, held them captive for 7 years, and then freed them with new powers and a new identity; I think you can only understand this if you've had the somewhat rare experience of brutal training, the constant intimidation and hazing, "abuse with a smile" under the name of professionalism, being stressed to the limits of your tolerance physically and mentally for months and years on end, and then kept awake for periods of 30 hours or more, working hard in situations of complete chaos and hierarchy (within which you are at the very bottom), with complete sleep deprivation, almost no contact with the outside world and sometimes not even seeing sunlight for days on end except as you run past a window in a corridor; when your supervising/attending physician commands you to give vaccines, at that point you'll find yourself too exhausted to put up a fight and resist. When the hospital demands that you get vaccinated or face threat to your work toward getting your medical license after you've already worked brutally hard for 8-10 years of undergraduate, medical school, and residency... You're basically confronted with the decision to 1) jeopardize your entire past and future work (your income, your social status, that new house and car, cultural authority, high-income job security) or 2) simply submit to the shot, the jab, the cocktail of microbial antigens contaminated with cellular debris and additional antigens, detergents, allergenic antibiotics, and toxic metals such as mercury and aluminum which are known to cause brain damage in toxic amounts and nonspecific and uncontrolled inflammation in smaller amounts.
