Am I reading this data correct? 18.4% of unvaxed represent 19.3% of hospitalizations? So statistically speaking, the vaccine did nothing to prevent hospitalizations?

I think people have become exceptionally good at putting blinders on.

Mass Formation.

Yeah but even before that people are just good at being in denial about stuff. For decades now. The attitude "If I ignore this problem entirely, it might just go away" has more or less been the American mantra for about 30 years. But the mass formation of the last few years definitely took that attitude to a whole new level. People are in shock, and feelings of disassociation are more common than ever, and this is furthered by pharmaceuticals.

Mass formation is a phrase that didn't really exist as a psychology term until a year or two ago: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%22mass%20formation%22

True. Mass formation is a term used by Mattias Desmet, and as such is relatively new, as his research is still being published. That said, he is simply putting a new term to a field of study that has been around decades, as people studied the insanity that developed in the totalitarian systems in the mid 20th century.

I actually prefer the term "crowd formation". It works better for me, because we all intuitively know that there is always at some level a "crowd". This is the foundation of the capital markets and trading. When that crowd gets obscenely irrational, this field of study becomes increasingly of interest. So yes, people are always in denial about some thing or other, but as in the case of all spectrums of behavior, we are now well beyond the "middle of the bell" in terms of the level of irrationality being demonstrated. Historians are going to spend a lot of time trying to unpack what we are witnessing during this moment in history.

Fair enough, that all makes sense.

I just see "mass formation" as a re-wording of the already existing concept of "problem -> reaction -> solution". The "mass formation" is just the "reaction" part, where the reaction of the public is guided by the media to be as traumatic and deep and wide as possible, so everyone's desire for the solution is easily guided and everyone behaves similarly because they had the same reaction to the problem. If I really had to detail what's going on right now more deeply, I'd call it "short-term emotional shock driven mass idea formation" but I guess that's too many words.

Mob formation.
