Yes, it is very possible. Let's put it this way, they knew about the truckers convoy before it happened, and they knew how destructive it would be but the government didn't bend one tiny bit.

Rationally they could have excluded the truckers from the mandates, slowly infiltrated them and started introducing new drivers, and pushed for it again in a year or so if they wanted "safe and effective" results.

Even if this whole thing is about the vaccines and depopulation, there are many more effective ways to go about this more slowly.
