There are a dozen solid fictions on which the fear of the plandemic rests. Everything from masks and antisocial distancing work but HCQ and ivermectin don't, to asymptomatic transmission being real, to the infection being "severe" (the 1st S in SARS), to bats being the cause, to lockdowns being necessary, to "wear the mask to protect others, no, we mean wear it all the time even alone in the car to protect yourself," etc., etc.
