Except I went through DoE schools and I my understanding of the world differs from that of my former classmates. Why are they so susceptible to foolish claims such as masks work for flu because it disappeared despite covid persisting? How does my coworker form Australia who has long believed childhood vaccines caused AspergerтАЩs syndrome in her now adult son latch on to the covid vaxxes as safe and effective?

The DoE certainly plays a huge role, but how are so many infected with this group think while others are not? I guess that is what I should have asked.
You have to understand (and I'm sure you do) that you're the extreme minority -- the 'brainwashing' works on the vast vast majority of people.
As for WHY some people see through it, I asked that very question a while back: (Spoiler alert, most of us had some sort of 'revelation' when we were young that the authorities were full of it)
IтАЩm flipping through IG and I chance upon a photo of Peanut with the following caption; тАЬIn 1979 I created the Department of Education. Since then America went from 1st to 24th in education.тАЭ. If this is accurate, then the DoE was created after the story I post earlier today where the link you provided directed my too. This seems to indicate that there were plenty of fertile fields for the DoE to sow their BS once they came into existence.
Oh, and how! I am the only person I know in Japan who does not mask. I have contact through Substack with others, but we have not actually met in person. But after three full years and 8 waves, how can any person not see that what we are doing is not working, including wearing masks all day every day. That is what I can not understand. PeopleтАЩs ability to lie to themselves is well documented, but this, at least to me, does not come close to explaining humanity as we now know it to be.
I will take the link you provide to delve deeper. Thanks.
Look at what it took for Japan to get rid of the feudal system and the samurai class - it too lingered on well after it had become an anchor around the neck of the drowning man (translating an idiom - the drowning man doesn't want to lose his anchor, so...).
I think the answer lies in a cultural angle, rather than intellectual or knowledge-based ones.
Then why are so many Westerners also taken in with all this Covid BS; masks work, the shots are not only safe and effective but necessary, that Zero Covid is not a foolтАЩs errand?
Safetyism, credentialism, and MDs knowing all there is to know on any and all subjects have permeated all cultures world wide with but a couple of exceptions. Which is why I am of the belief that there is coordination behind all this.
Different cultures can take different paths to arrive at the Temple of Stupidity?
That there is co-ordination is obvious and no secret, nor that organisations such as the UN ones are captured by multiple agents.
All the Covid-messaging here was laced with subtext that to question, deny orjust say "No thanks" was tantamount to be anit-democracy, anti-good flavoured buzzword and "right wing extremist racist supremacist populist fill-in-the-list".
Also, if you don't believe in god(s), you have to believe in yourself instead. Most westerners do neither, meaning they supplantboth the role of god(s) and their own cognitive faculties with any Authority semantically/semiotically associated with "Good".
And of course, many westerners have very romantic notions ofthe well-ordered neatly structured chinese/japanese societies, and look to them as ideal.
To me it looks collectivist to the point of ants, almost, but that's measa foreigner looking from the outside, most assuredly missing all the nuances for the whole. (The same can be said for the term "western", it's as meaningless as "african" or "asian": I am nothing like and albanian or a kroat, the same way a korean is not thai, yet we are all "western" or "asian" respectively.)
The fact that you have to state the obvious, as you have here, is why we are where we are. Far too few understand this, and I truly do not know why.
Three words: Department of Education
Add flouride, junk food, television, smartphones... an endless list.

Definitely coordination.

in the US, the coastal states are in full lock step with authority from their leaders.
