Very interesting. And to follow on with a third possibility 3) a way to test the control ability of the citizens of the supposedly, “greatest democracy in the world” by using CCP strategies against the people and by extension through the WHO and other NGO’s and National Defense Agencies worldwide. If you want to know the reasons behind fa certain action, look at the outcome. What was the outcome? The greatest transfer of wealth from the middle classes and the poor to the extraordinarily wealthy since the Great Depression of the 1930’s.

Or was that just a consequence of the foolishness of the response? I understand that they do game out their strategies and responses but clearly they didn’t game out the enormous and very damaging and costly social consequences for the peoples of the democracy. I think this also highlights that a democracy is not a democracy if an arm of the state can take over the decisions about the public health of its citizens. Thank you for ensuring you got that point across Ms Lerman.

I am open to that possibility too, though it could be the case that the "powers that be" were incidental beneficiaries of draconian policies otherwise. I wrote this piece a while back on the unholy marriage between capitalism and scientism and it surely is the case that Big Pharma and BMFG etc. have been pushing for pro-vaccine policiies for many years now at least in part b/c of massive potential profits: https://tamhunt.medium.com/capitalism-meet-scientism-a-too-convenient-marriage-a61191e357d9
