Pride is the biggest sin of them all.

Yes, you could call it a cult, but going one level deeper, it really is a psychotic ideation. There is a psychotic need to see an identifiable outside agent as the cause, because the alternative, terrain theory, makes ME responsible for my own health. Recall that every child's first instinct is always "I didn't do it!" Nobody wants to be responsible for their own health - the victim position is always the most attractive. This is a very powerful driver. It is also a good explanation as to why politics works. For politicians gain favor by fighting some evil and proposing a solution, which again means I can stay asleep, for daddy or mommy is taking care of things, until I find out I am being led to the slaughter... as we see now with the vaxx crisis.
