How do media images and cultural ideas of health and sickness affect individual behavior?

Explanation:

The current virus is a perfect example. We get our shots or we are labeled unthinking enemies of society.

The media has done absolutely no investigating about why people would oppose getting a shot, and people have no interest in knowing why there is opposition.

We believe what we are told, but some very knowledgeable people have opposed the vaccine and the hysterical reaction to it. Some have been health professionals. I may not agree with them, but they should be heard. And they should be respected to have their own opinion. They are acting on their principles. The governments in Canada have abandoned what I call 1st Amendment rights. An opposing opinion is never to be completely disregarded.

The Bible always emphasizes that the wise listen much and speak little. That's not a bad way to live.

We are forced by the current situation, not to speak and just do (as we are told). That's a very dangerous behavior pattern. But that's what we have.

I think I've described a cultural pattern. We have abandoned certain behaviors (constitutions and rights ) and developed others. We are not obeying laws. We are obeying mob behavior (which a cultural thing) and we are wrong to do so.
