I think most people are wising up to the fact that there were really concurrent pandemics.
The first pandemic was the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) outbreak. The existence of which was self-evident, measurable, and unavoidable (up to a point).
The second pandemic was the mass looting of public/private resources that corporations used the cover of the first pandemic to excuse themselves for. This pandemic was allowed to happen by ineffective (at best) or colluding (at worst (see: USA, Trump admin.)) governments around the world.
Most people see these are one event when in reality they were two. It’s also in the perpetrators of the second pandemic’s best interest to keep people believing that they were the same event.
