I listened to a podcast a guy called Shaun Attwood (who is a true crime author and activist against pedophiles) did with Icke. If I understand, I think the theory is that the WHO is completely corrupt under the power of Bill Gates and they have invented Covid so he can not only make money by selling the vaccines, but apparently more important than money is power and control on a global scale. There are these elites like Gates, the Bushes, Clintons etc who are implementing a new world order, a "great reset" and they are using the WHO as a front to achieve that. Not by violence or wars to build empires like Hitler and many others have tried to do, but through manipulation by causing panic by a global killer virus. BoJo and other right wing politicians may be caught up on the coat tails of it all, but it doesn't matter because every government and health authority takes their directive from the WHO - which is "them" (new world order) and therefore "they" have managed to control every country and the whole worlds population with these lockdowns, bubbles and so on and make a big % of the population dependent on the government to survive. By defying the government is standing up to the new world order.
I don't buy it, though I would not be shocked if these elites steer things as they wish to self gratiate themselves, or even if it was manufactured and intentionally released from a lab for the same reason. But the problem with all these theories is, even if there may be some grains of truth in corrupt elites, there is another agenda behind it, in this case anti vaxxer.
I have never got a flu shot, I've had the odd mild flu, but I also know that I - and 99% of the western world - have not had smallpox, mumps, measles, rubella, typhoid, cholera, diphtheria etc etc in the past 50 years. Would I get a covid shot? Probably, because it seems here in Canada anyway, international travel will not be permitted until vaccinated and I need to get back to the UK and see the family - and that is exactly what Icke & co are fighting against.
The problem the politicians have, like a Trudeau here in Canada who if it even exists would not be in on a new world order, they are damned if they do or don't. The general perception here is that what they are doing in the US with a couple million infected and 200,000 dead (10%) is such a shocking headline (even if it is not much different than regular flu season...) that it is incompetence and effectively murder as it was allowed to happen and they can't be seen to be negligent or laissez faire with public health. They are scared of doing nothing.
At the end of the day, when all is said and done, its not a bad thing for people to wash their hands and not sit on top of each other in a restaurant or bus. I would prefer to be without the mask, but it hasn't hurt me yet the few minutes a day I am required to wear it.
