I think the possible reasons for exaggerated Pandemic is far far bigger than people getting gov’t mandated vaccinations. Its doing a stress test on the entire global economy. Survival of the fittest businesses. A sort of “heard trimming” going on.
Besides that its obvious to me the entire global economy or globalization, has been in trouble a long time since 9/11, and is in reverse. I’ve been seeing stories on De-Globalization is what they call it. Decoupling with China, and cold war with China stories also popping up.
As for gov’ts’ encouraged to “throwing their weight around”, that could be preparation for the next depression, big economic collapse or failing currency fiasco.
