Compartmentalization of information or the power hierarchy is a classic technique.

Agreed, but all of the people labeled as "not complicit" know a lot, even if they don't know everything.

Scientists have been purposefully playing cover up for the elite plans for forever. The media has been owned, and known that it was owned, forever. The Church Committee report states explicitly that dozens of media members are willing agents of the C_A, purposefully feeding false information to drive a narrative. A followup report by Bernstein (I think that was his name) suggested the Church report was woefully wrong, and that it was in fact hundreds of members of the media that were agents of disinformation, and they knew it.

These people at the top may not know everything, but they absolutely know enough. There are numerous primary sourced reports that the "top scientists" (like Fauci, or head of the FDA, CDC, etc.) knew about the dangers of the vaxx from day one. That Fauci funded the creation of Covid in a lab isn't even slightly controversial. Evidence that the NIH is in bed with Moderna for their vaxx with conflicts of interest all over the place, and that it was proven not safe or effective prior to rollout is all over the place.

It is possible that only the top of the top know the whole plan, but all of these other people know part of it. They know enough to purposefully cause the death of many (millions), which I suggest is likely quite a bit of "the plan."

Its how the Nazi's got normal people to go along with the holocaust, as I understand it. If they made someone do more than a few of the tasks associated with executing unarmed, innocent people and destroying their remains, they would either refuse outright or go along until their consciences gave in. If they only had ONE compartmentalized job, they were far more tolerant of what they had to do for the whole machine to run.
