So I partially agree with you that there was a global pandemic that required the world to work together to solve the problem. At the same time, we all know that governments (at least ours) have a strategy to "never let a good crisis go to waste". If they can use any opportunity to increase their wealth and power, they will do so. This is not a conspiracy, this is historical fact.Or (and I know this sounds crazy to many here)...
THERE WAS AN ACTUAL VIRUS SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD KILLING PEOPLE.
Why is that possibility so easily dismissed despite being so obvious? There's no coordinated desire for control, no DNA modification, no mind control, no secret plot for birth control, just a virus killing people. People like us plan and prep for the worst, but when something really bad (not catastrophic) shows up we pretend it's not happening and go to our old standby of globalist control.
