How to commodify obedience to the state: Foster division by endlessly adding vaccine doses. Then there'll always be a "disobedient class" that you can otherize & rally the enlightened "obedient class" against. Your place in the social hierarchy is now of function of your obedience to the state.

In a way, your place in the social hierarchy has always been a function of your obedience to the state i.e. obey the law or you'll forever be known as a criminal/convict, which is a lower social class. But this takes it to another level. Instead of the gov't saying "Don't do this, otherwise you'll lose social standing" they're saying "Do this, otherwise you'll lose social standing", and that lowered social standing has much heavier consequences than being a convict. For example, you don't have to show a clean criminal record to enter a gym or a restaurant, and there isn't widespread public fervor against people with criminal records like there is against unvaccinated people.
