There are only benefits provided by society. It's a way to bypass the constitution. The goal is to make society unlivable for those who do not bend to "safety" and "science". It's an obedience test. If you are willing to submit to the tyranny you will be allowed certain privelges in society. If this succeeds it will change the entire psychology underpinning US culture. In another generation the understanding will be that all aspects of life are privileges provided by big daddy government.
