What happens when the public finds out the house wanted 8 billion to fight a fake virus?
This is out there but I'm sure I'm not the only who has thought of it.
What if they are dying off for some reason related to their genetics(polluted food source, whatever…)? And rather than admit it's just them who are dying they create a 'virus' to hide their involvement (i.e. cabal).
Kind of like when a killer kills extra people to hide the original intent.
If they are the only ones that it infects and people were to know that, then their masks in public would be a dead giveaway.
