CDC director says agency ‘is taking bird flu very seriously' as epidemic fears grow

>invent a bullshit flu that has a few scary symptoms but is otherwise harmless

>panic the whole world and force people into lockdowns and untested treatments

>put a spotlight on every single conspiracy theory and make sure every normie hears about those evil people that are denying the science

>keep this up for way too long to the point where even normal people start to distrust health authorities

>make sure that the only people who still care about covid are batshit insane and amplify their voice to further erode people's trust

>when you're sure no one will ever take a respiratory illness epidemic seriously again release an actual deadly flu

>watch how people refuse to do anything to protect themselves because muh covid

>solve overpopulation, housing crisis, social programs overspending, political extremism, foreign threats and lots of other annoying problems

>after everything settles the remaining people are either sheep, too scared to disagree with you ever again or crippled by either the disease or the treatment

>profit!
