When Covid started, society largely came together.
A shared sense that we could act in a way that helped us all; especially the most vulnerable.
When Gov's realised this threat was here to stay they had 2 choices:
1) Lie
2) Be honest
Which do you think they chose?

They effectively threw tear gas canisters into the crowd. They needed to break the togetherness and get people to disperse and back into their old way of life.
They knew it was airborne.
They knew it was, and remains debilitating and causes all manner of long term harms.

But they needed people back at work & spending as usual. Kids back at school.
This could've been achieved by being honest but this would have required investments & unpopular mitigations.
Education & truthful messaging would've been paramount to success; yet it was possible.

But this would have reduced people's willingness to socialize as before or to send kids into schools badly equipped for safety.
So they chose to lie.
Because that's really easy.
Just don't tell people the true harms.
Downgrade it.
Confuse.
Misdirect.
Throw shade on vax too.

Tell people mitigations don't work.
That infection is inevitable; even good for you.
Have a media blackout.
Reduce testing to next to nothing.
Remove all information.
Make levels seem low. Insignificant.
Make things observed seem normal or attributable to anything else.
Etc.

But to lie on this scale needs evilness.
To abandon people and put them at risk of death or disability.
It also needs international collaboration.
If you believe that Gov's don't do this; I suggest you look at other things they do. Things that most likely & rightly enrage you.

Puppeteers need puppets.
If you think covid is nothing, I'm afraid they've been pulling your strings.
I just want you to consider this:
If I am right and they lied to make you ignore this; what do you think they would have done differently to persuade you to?
Think hard.
