Right. The governments want to label everyone with common sense as "insensitive" to the most vulnerable by promoting irrational fear through the mainstream media.

There is a protocol of how they deal with flu (which also causes death) and they could have used the same for Covid.

Two years ago, this would sound as a highly unlikely "conspiracy theory", but today is the most likely theory. Many people are prone to propaganda and lack critical thinking, so they blindly trust the government and the "experts" appointed (or controlled) by the governments.
