Slowly and insidiously poisoning the population

What about poise (a regulating power; that which balances)? Was the population ignorant before poison was suggested to them? What if ignoring poise poisons self, which others then exploit with suggesting more poisonous intake?

Insidious (to lay in wait) implies entrapment. What if ignorance implies a mind entrapped, and what if easy prey tempts predators to lay in wait?

From a different angle...needle-jews utilize terrorism (Latin terreo, to frighten) aka suggested fear towards outcomes as the sales-pitch for ones willing intake of poison. Now reread OP...fear of losing a job sold the needle; but being afraid of dying from sickness isn't on the table yet. Why? Because it wasn't sold by others.

How would you deal with a majority ignoring death, which simultaneously consents to almost any suggestion to harm life?
