"Problem-Reaction-Solution- a time honored strategy.
The Virus™ is superfluous, all they need to do is create the perception of a pandemic/mass panic with staged Hollywood productions, doomsday models and fraudulent PCR tests to manufacture the perception that there is an incoming alien invasion.
I cut my teeth on the massive amount of corruption and profiteering and Pharma con jobs back in 2005 with Avian Flu Hoax 1. They tried the same con, with mostly the same cast of characters, in 2009 with the Swine Flu Hoax.
I spent a lot of time in both instances trying to alert people throughout the community where I lived to the realities of these frauds. Each time there was tremendous push back to my attempts to bring these hypochondriacs back to reality. Turns out reinforcing and rewarding peoples neurosis can be played and replayed to great effect.
Once the initial terror wore off it was followed by acknowledgement that these were indeed scams. However it seems that there is a bizarre psychotic thirst for this hysteria in our present culture as even after each fraud was exposed it seemed only a few years needed to pass for these very same folks to become ready to jump right into the next plague fraud.
Of course all of these so-called "pandemics"/ "epidemics" are all frauds that are pure inventions of the financial/medical cartel utilized for profit and control. Once you have explored the details, templates and patterns of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening. The folks who orchestrate these viral con jobs are among other things not very creative.
The playbook is pretty much the same, they simply refine the techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7.
I have to say that the "messaging" was far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps. Without that fear-mongering propaganda campaign no one would’ve noticed anything unusual had they taken the time and care to look out their doors to see if indeed bodies were dropping like flies.
Well they sure did produce an amazing stage show this time around and went "all in" by producing cadavers via an array of medical democides which solidified the fear mechanisms in the masses.
It sure was breathtaking to witness the grip of fear "Covid" had on millions of people- a vast number of these people will be damaged for life. The shadow of this psychosis will follow them to their graves. This was particularly true among the "educated" classes who finally discovered a warped sense of purpose beyond the dull, aimless wanderings of Academia.

Absolutely. Droves of people showed up at Tokyo hospitals complaining of chest pains and other symptoms of poison gas after a HOAX attack in the subway system. This is a key part of the digital disembodiment of society at large. People love being victims.
" Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7.”
Come to Berkeley and the Bay Area in general. The fear dome still weighs down heavily, and it’s PC, since "only Trump supporters say otherwise.” Even most of the freedom community.

So many people no longer bother looking out their doors or look up from their private screens.

Again, check out Berkeley. Amusing how a far left former colleague of mine, a computer programer (i think he just retired) waxed on with pride about how the SARS-CoV-2 genome was constructed on a mainframe, never mind the science. And people in the Deadhead milieu were overjoyed to see “community unity” around “health.” Fans of a band which was formed in the context of hard core opposition to authoritarian social control, steadfast opponents of wars, mandatory drug testing,…. totally fell in line supporting lockdowns, mask mandates and later vaxx mandates
I would NOT say it was all PSEUDO rebellion. There were genuine elements the whole time, namely the ideas of community and of collective resistance to authoritarian state measures, which they were subjected to at high rates. That's the incongruent nature of the latest turn.
Deadheads were and are music fans. The Grateful Dead made no pretenses to be rebelling against anything except the three-minute rock song.
Well, there were plenty of 3-4 minutes rock songs in first sets of Dead shows in the 1971-4 period. :-)
From the beginning, the members of the band made clear their complete opposition to not only the war, but to materialistic consumer society, There is a good interview with Jerry from '67, hell if i know where it is at the moment but probably can be located. This even made it into their early lyrics, e.g. Cryptical Envelopment as well as its segue mate The Faster We Go The Rounder We Get, aka The Other One, Dark Star ("Searchlight casting, for faults in the clouds of delusion."), and even more in later tunes, e.g. the reality of US history displayed in Jack Straw, US Blues, Ship of Fools, ...
Edit to add: Starting with the Human Be In, Golden Gate Park, 1/14/67, the Dead (Jerry solo vocals) performed Morning Dew, a strong statement about nuclear war (which can also be taken as being about ecological catastrophe).
