Helen Lewis's newest Atlantic piece is an even better demonstration of the true believer mindset. She got the virus in December, was grateful for her shots despite having a longer-ish course - and then ran out for a booster as soon as a few weeks went by. This is a 39 year old women. Literal insanity.

Smart people often behave irrationally when terrified. Several generations of failed education action system have indoctrinated much of the country to expect absolute safety and recoil into screaming fetal position when that fails. A culture that cannot defend itself soon will be conquered by one that can. The war has begun.
Maybe somewhere in the back of their minds they realize they jumped at the chance to take an experimental medication, and they have to keep convincing themselves and everyone else it was the right choice.
That's it in a nutshell. They have to remain convinced that they did the "right" thing, if not medically, then at least morally.
Remember, these were the people who cried in ecstasy when they received their shots last Spring. They've been told for a year that the need for continuous shots is not because the mRNA technology doesn't work as advertised, but because of selfish people who are transmission vectors because they won't get their shots, regardless of what pre-COVID virology and the hard data from Israel and similar highly-vaccinated populations may reveal.
It is truly insanity. Unfortunately, the number of people who can see through this is becoming smaller by simple attrition.
