Manufactured threat/crisis and useless/harmful solution. This combination has been around for so many fucking years (because it works), it's just it was not THAT obvious until covid.
For example, so many people still blindly believe dietary cholesterol is bad for heart even though that's a FUCKING LIE, yet big pharma / government just take advantage of the ignorance to sell cholesterol lowering drugs (which is useless, potentially harmful) or herbivore larp diet (which doesn't even provide all the essential nutrients).
Pretty much the same formula again and again and again.
