The virus can be real, but everything about the pandemic nature of it fake.

The virus does cause effects that can lead to death, but the virus itself was…

• created in a lab (artificial virus)
• released intentionally (faked origin story)
• had its fatality rate intentionally inflated
• had symptoms that were treated in a way that increased likelihood of death
• had real treatment options suppressed and real science around how to stop the spread silenced
• threatened and barred doctors who defied any of the above
• used fear to control people into willingly behaving as desired

None of that means there wasn’t a virus, and that the virus didn’t have symptoms that could and did lead to death on its own, but the numbers would have likely been a very bad flu year’s equivalent if not for the rest of the points above. Not pandemic and lockdown worthy.

And remember, even if it was that deadly, it was created intentionally, and then was intentionally allowed and encouraged to kill by using deadly treatment options.
