All those scrambling to hold onto their dwindling power (derived by the consent of the stupidly blind governed) want us to do, panic and worry, and get depressed, and then go along with their little pet programs to ration water, food, and charge carbon taxes on every purchase on top of their already very effective slave-making COVID programs. They will blame it all on climate change too. That is why they are all pushing anti-human reproductive policies in reverse of China's pro-reproduction policies being enacted.
Some doctors have argued that these vaccines are actually re-engineering human DNA so they can patent ownership of humans (see Supreme Court rulings on DNA manipulation and what makes humans, human) and use us as "resources" like mining crypto-currency with our activity (Microsoft Patented Matrix of human batteries and money makers) instead of us being sovereign beings with limited choices.
Facebook wants us all tied into the Metaverse so we can ignore the real universe that their friends are destroying with their greed. They want us detached from actual human interaction so we can interact with AI bots and some real people online and they want to harvest data from our interactions so they can clone our souls into some kind of synthetic soul. Watch the show Upload and a few other shows like Black Mirror, Altered Carbon, etc prophesying the idea of uploading our souls to a synthetic artificial cloud vs going to Heaven (natural destiny). They won't be happy though until they tie into our brains using neural links like Time's Man of the Year Elon Musk wants to do (can't beat them, then join them kind of thinking).
This has been long in planning. Futurists have been dreaming of it since the 1800s. Frank Lloyd Wright designed smart cities back in the 1920s. The technology is nearly here if not here already. In recent news, did you see the new Matrix demo showing how realistic a computerized world can be with today's hardware (XBOX Series X, PC's, and PS5).
