    This should serve as a litmus test for whether you should concern yourself with COVID. If the rich countries hoard vaccines and the elites get testing, you should want vaccines and testing.

      It's kind of how you can tell if something is real or not.

      Are ghosts real? Is hypnosis real?

      No. Otherwise the government would be weaponizing it. The best they have is bullshit like "Havana syndrome" propaganda.

        governments are also inept in a lot of ways, and a lot of the times their goals aren't compatible with the particular X thing in question, or don't need it

        using your logic climate change isn't real because the US isn't doing anything about it (and actively making it worse)

        To be fair, the US believed that mine control could work and drugged a bunch of people. The end result is that there are suspicious events that were a product of MKULTRA, but it was mainly the supposed subjects losing their minds and becoming murderers and musicians without much useful espionage skills

          All they really accomplished was inventing the Grateful Dead.

      It’s why I find right wingers shilling Deus Ex funny. The conspiracies in that game are, yes, the virus was man made and the vaccine was a product of collusion between the virus engineers and big pharma. But the vaccines WORK and are only patented and reserved for the rich. The terrorists are trying to seize the vaccines for everyone to use.
