less than a thousand who died had Covid19. So testing was hugely increased and now 126,000 have died WITH it. How many in previous years who died WITH mild symptoms of colds or flu or other passing illnesses - we shall never know. We were never tested. We DO know around 450 people A DAY died from Cancer in past years. This did not, for some reason, make governments ban tobacco. Why not, one wonders? The answer, I suspect, is tax monies. Likewise alcohol. But Covid has brought in very little monies. Indeed the reaction to this trivial virus (for most) has caused untold misery, suicides, failures from other health problems etc. Who is to blame? Media - for hyping up a story. Gullibles - for swallowing the stories despite obvious evidence to the contrary. And us, for mindlessly going along with it.

Covid has brought in billions to the pharma industry, Microsoft, Zoom, Amazon and designated suppliers of PPE & testing who are blatantly close to or directly linked to Government ministers.

I agree that smoking should be made illegal if a Gov has any duty to protect public health; but in the same way there is a monetary incentive to sustain smoking, there is a monetary incentive to sustain the Covid scare through perpetual vaccination, increased use of tech through remote working and moving shopping online.

The money may not go like taxes to Gov but it goes to giant corporations more powerful now than Govs; who, ironically, basically don't pay tax. There is an incentive to mainstream media as the Gov is now the main funder of advertisements to the papers (or was a few months ago I haven't checked recently) and Bill Gates is a major funder of the BBC (£60 million for "covid education").

I don't believe that there has been a conspiracy but understand when faced with this stench why so many do. Rather I think these players have taken full advantage of the media & Gov overreaction; and because they are so powerful they distort and colour the reality we now have to live with.

You don't actually need a conspiracy when the power lies so unaccoubtably with so few: the manipulation and control just arises organically.

Do you think this was contrived - was Covid introduced for financial gain?

Please see my entry above.

We're not conspiracy theorists Barney; we're realists.

Supermarkets are gaining whilst small businesses are closing for good.
