I think the American leadership is so stupid that they actually believed the world would end in 12 years due to climate change if we didn’t reduce the population by 80%. I think this is the belief that has been fed to most world leadership. The destruction of the economy is just the political and ruling classes looting society so they can hoard before the ensuing chaos. It will also have a by product of having the rebellious anti vaxxers submit to economic hardship over time.
