An elderly man nearly died and entered a coma after fentanyl was used as anesthesia during a routine pacemaker update. The U.S. government is credited with creating the drug in the 1970s, which is now manufactured by Chinese and criminal groups. A call for expedited execution of fentanyl dealers is made, contrasting the U.S. situation with China's strict drug enforcement and low overdose rates.

Desmet compares mass formation to a clinical hypnotic procedure where a subject's attention is so narrowly focused that they become unaware of the rest of reality. He shares an example from a Belgian university hospital where patients underwent open-heart surgery using only hypnosis for anesthesia. He argues that the public is currently in a similar state of selective attention regarding government narratives, making them blind to the collateral damage of policies.
