I understand that. But they would not feel any fear from vaccination if they were not rejecting the mainstream information. They would integrate all the info and reach a balanced point of view.
So if that quote is not about rejecting society in its current state (yellow-ray) then what is it?
Well, you can consider that it is also the mainstream media's fault for losing credibility over time. They've made it clear to people that they should not take anything said there for granted and have thsmelves built distrust in people.
The quote is about rejecting societal activities to seek the self once more. So to not vote, to not debate events within society, to not do community things, etc. Someone that will seek the self once more, sounds more along the lines of someone that goes in retreat away from society, does not follow political debates, does not watch the news to instead be focused upon their own family life, party, play video games or read books. They are focused on their self and seek their joys and passions, they are unconcerned with society at large.
The quote does not say 'rejecting government and society', it says 'rejecting governmental and societal activities'.
