I think you are right. I have seen pics of Belgian and Austrian politicians having parties while their countries were in lockdown. The Dutch royal pair were on holiday. Johnson had house parties. They all knew the virus to be mild and totally not as dangerous as depicted. They all knew the shots were meant for another reason. They all knew the shots were far more dangerous than the illness. They are all groomed to play along. But they failed miserably because lots of people realize now they have been had.
