Global Warming never created the existential fear they thought it would. Now we are likely heading into a period of Global Cooling so a new, more believable threat was needed. What could be more effective than a highly contagious virus that leads to sudden acute respiratory problems? As for the vaccines? They might well have issues, so I’m inclined to wait, but President Trump definitely created Warp Speed as a countermove.
