Speaking of dangerous cults, I've been picking up a not-so-subtle subtext in the Bill Gates narrative:

1. Vax as a path to salvation, the Gates of Heaven.

2. Bill is like St. Peter at the Gates of Heaven, scanning your vax-pass, checking to see if your name is listed among the saved.

3. The Heaven's Gate Cult of Marshall Applewhite involved mass suicide after ingesting "poisoned apple sauce".
