If it was instead some sort of conspiracy aimed at somehow suppressing the masses, in the UK alone that would require the compliance and co-operation of the Tories, the Labour Party and the SNP, the NHS, the forces of law and order, the military, the scientists and the experts in various other fields. Meanwhile, on a global scale, it would require the involvement of the WHO, the EU and the governments and authorities in the USA, China, Germany, Iran, Italy, South Korea, France, Brazil, Spain, Russia, etc etc.
Call me a gullible, fearful halfwit, but I find that idea somewhat unlikely.
