That is one side of their evil machinations. The other side (which hardly anyone has noticed) is that "scientific" journals were actually publishing fake results deliberately in order to support the COVID tyranny. They were falsifying data, or creating bogus scenarios. I am not sure if things have changed. Here's an example. Instead of demanding a total ban on COVID "vaccines" we have this attempt to mislead the public even after all the reports and researh showing the great harm done by these "vaccines":the elite are suppressing information in scientific journals.
