Covid Conspiracy

An acquaintance of mine posted on FB a supposed Italian doctor (white coat/Pizzeria accent) warning that Covid19 is a plot to dramatically cull the majority of the human race. “Don’t be tested or get a vaccine jab. You will slowly become ill and die.” Well that’s clear enough. This isn’t the first conspiracy she’s unearthed from the mountain of amazingly useful information on social media, and as a socially concerned citizen she’s been super keen to share it with the rest of us. Luckily we have a filter for such like. But then wouldn’t we all look a bunch of silly billies if Dr. Pizza Express was telling the truth. In 2001 I followed 9/11 in some detail. When ‘Pilots for Truth’ came out saying airliners couldn’t fly those flight paths, civil engineers said no steel building has ever collapsed like that, demolition experts said the buildings ‘were pulled’ and there were surprising amounts of thermite in the debris I began to suspect the official version. Even then I didn’t imagine a conspiracy, at least not a Bond villain hatching a single dastardly plot. Basically humans aren’t that bright. No for me it was a bunch of people who knew what a bunch of other people were going to do each hatching a subplot of their own because it suited them. They then co-opted others because it suited them and so on; a sort of tree structure. Ben Laden hatched the trunk, the Twin towers owner found a way to demolish obsolete buildings and get an eye-watering insurance payout, the Israelis helped because it fingered the Arabs, money men made profits on the info and someone ordered the military techy stuff. They each took care of business. That way everyone of influence in on it didn’t spill on all the others who were in on it: Keep it secret and there’s bound to be a dumb ass not in on it who’ll spill the beans. And as for Covid19 I doubt it’s Dr. Pizza Express. And, just in case he’s right, shock horror, post extinction I wouldn’t want to live in the same world as the low-life scumbags who hatched such a dastardly plot and be slapped on the back by Henry Kissinger, secretly kept alive by the serum extracted from babies, as “one of us.”
