Only the heads of mainstream media and medicine would have to be in on it.
The virus may exist, and it may even be killing as many people as they say it’s killing, altho I have some doubts about the former and a lot of doubts about the latter.
It may have come from a wet market or been accidentally released from a lab.
All the heads of mainstream media and medicine have to do is exaggerate how many more people will die if we don’t expand the size of government, wear masks and take their vaccines, and the vast majority of people, including doctors, nurses and news anchors, will go along with it because, we have faith in the heads of mainstream media and medicine, in our ‘superiors’.
And whenever someone summons enough courage to question their models, they have a litany of excuses for why things didn’t turn out as dire as they projected.
But, do they even have to exaggerate anything at all?
Let’s say we can save 50 thousand American lives by expanding gov and taking their meds, and let’s say they’re upfront with us about that, they don’t exaggerate it and say we’ll save 500 thousand or 5 million.
Is it worth it?
What about 5 thousand lives?
Who decides what’s worth it?
Do we trust them to be the arbiters of worth in addition to news and medicine?
Yes, I think most of us do, to a large extent.
And so perhaps they could get us to transfer a tremendous amount of wealth and power to them, not because they actually care about those 50 or 5 thousand lives, but solely because they’re greedy, and they can count on us to not count the cost, to ask ourselves, is it worth it?
They emotionally bully us into putting those 50 or 5 thousand lives above all other considerations.
They control the media and hold the purse strings, and with them they have the power to demonize and ruin the lives of anyone who dares challenge their medical or moral authority.
After all, they’re our betters, the successful people in life, who’re we pissants to challenge them on anything?
