The wellness-anti-vax-conspiracy convergence shares a Manichean view of people as pure or tainted

Evidence

In this convergence of worlds, we can see more than a shared infrastructure of misinformation: there is also a shared worldview, a shared mindset, a shared way of seeing people as either normal or deviant, pure or tainted, successes or failures. And even, as in all doppelganger stories, real or impostors. — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 666

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s existing notes on how panic-prone groups classify people as pure or tainted (immodesty moral panics, sacrifice discourse). — connects to: the MOC “The Viral Refinery: How Preexisting Fringe Fears Get Smelted Into Mainstream Reality”
