COVID was only ever a political cudgel and means of consolidating the POWER of a few over the many. Was there a virus? Yes. Was it dangerous? Yes, to certain subsets of the population at various times. Did we need to lock down the entire world and force everyone to wear masks and get vaccinated? NO, NO, NO!!! Not that it takes a study to discern this fact but look at the John's Hopkins study that concluded lockdowns were not worth it and counter productive. The damage done to the world from these lockdowns is incalculable. Masks have been known to be fundamentally ineffective since the beginning. Even Fauci was going around saying that until he got on message and started to advocate for the entire world masking up.
Was it about getting Trump out? In part, yes. How can you argue against the obvious fact that the entire election paradigm in America was changed as a result of COVID? It was used to justify the use of MILLIONS of mail-in ballots. No worry about fraud there, right? This is why we went to bed on election night convinced that Trump had won, only to awaken the next day to find out that several critical voting precincts had shut down their operations and then ended up counting so many late arriving mail-in Biden votes that he had closed the gap and emerged victorious. This has NEVER in our history been considered an acceptable way to conduct an election. It's not that complicated. You count the votes on election night and announce a winner. So yes, millions of people have been jerked around enough by the ever-shifting COVID narrative and the shocking power grabs made by our governments in the wake of this exaggerated crisis. Now they want to seamlessly phase it out and we are saying "too little, too late!"
