I think its more than brainwashing. First you make them do something stupid - like getting a vaccine. After that, anything bad that happens they will find a way to blame it on somebody, because the alternative is to accept that they were stupid
People will go to any extent to avoid thinking they made a mistake or they made some stupid choice. So, they will keep digging themselves in. All you gotta do is give them some flimsy reason to rationalise with.
