GC's piece is brilliant and I definitely see the point. However, my view of Naomi Wolf shifted when I first read her book, The End of America, that she published in 2007. She saw the emerging surveillance state that Bush and the neocons erected in the wake of 9/11.
It wasn't much of a stretch for Naomi Wolf to recognize covid as simply the next stage in an evolving totalitarianism. For a legacy arch-feminist, I credit Wolf for having the bravery to make a public stand, even if now she is no longer allowed to circulate in the bi-coastal liberal cocktail circuit.
You're right when you make the point about Wolf 'snap[ing] out her slumber'. She admitted to voting for Biden, obviously missing the early warning signs in 2015 and ignoring what many long knew about Biden and the DNC, regardless of whether they were MAGA Trumpers. Although the damage was done, Wolf apologized for what she admitted to be the wrong choice. How many only recently came to the conclusion that they were snowed by the likes of Barack, Hillary, Mitt, McCain and the other denizens of the Uniparty elite?
I will add that I agree with GC that the 'zombification' of humanity probably does go beyond the mere fact of being a willing participant in the covid shot program. One's willingness to get the shots is more a symptom or the effect of a larger form of indoctrination/social engineering that's been going on for decades.
That was an important shift for her which I omitted (The End of America) though it seemed more reaction against the Bush/Cheney regime and once Obama was elected, as many liberals assumed, all was well with their world. If by his second term said liberals could not see that Obama was probably worse than Bush in many respects (4 countries instead of 2, droning, HC mandates, bank bailouts, surveillance ramped up) then it wasn't until the "dangerous" Trump that they were magically activated again against their better judgement, and finally 2020 to realize, there is one party working on behalf of a global machine against all citizens.
" ... once Obama was elected, as many liberals assumed, all was well with their world."
This is probably true of Naomi Wolf. I think even she will admit that it took Covid to completely rock her belief system to its core and to understand - or at least to suspect - how the world is actually run. My faith aside, I know that I no longer believe most of the things I may have believed three years ago.

Great comment. Great piece by GC.

John for me it’s since 2001 - have been researching ever since.
