Good questions. But first make the choice if you want to take the blue pill and go back to comforting illusions, or encounter the cold hard truth by taking the red pill (Matrix reference). Once you take the red pill you won't be able to 'unsee' any of these things or go back.
I have a feeling Impact and Mosquito will be posting more lengthy answers complete with numerous links and videos that will better answer your questions. But I'll briefly address them.
If covid-19 doesn’t exist, or is not as bad as msm is making it out to be, then why the world wide effort to contain it and protect the global citizenry?
-- It's all political theatre. Never was about health, but ramping up fear and dividing people. The globalist elite encountered the most resistance they've had in a long while during Trump's presidency, and they had to make sure something like that would never happen again. It was a threat to their power. So we're being punished for being bad little boys. The oligarchs are making boatloads of money off this whole plandemic. No one cares about the little people, and we have been deprived of true representative government. Big gov is in cahoots with big tech to censor their political opponents.
"Truth is the opinion of the powerful" as the saying goes.
If the plandemic/scamdemic is just a giant push for big pharma to make billions, and we follow the money, what is the end goal?
-- It's more than just that. It's biological and psychological warfare. It's an easy way to destabilize the biggest economy in the world (USA) so China can take the lead. We've constantly heard talk of a one world government, a cashless society, etc. for a while now. There are also theories of depopulation and monopolization of resources. We have been subjected to a ruthless form of social engineering, and these things are not 'conspiracies' when they come directly from the mouths of our leaders. Look up arch-villian Klaus Schwab.
What do these “global elitists” have to gain? Where do they go from there?
--See above. These satanists have sold their souls and want to usher in the antichrist.
If the vaccines are as toxic as some on here claim then why are so many mandating it, with the assumption that many companies have done their own due diligence? What do they have to gain/lose?
-- Because it's never been about health. We've never paid this much attention to the flu, common cold, sars, obesity, drunk driving, smoking, abortion, gang violence/illegal guns (instead all 'gun control' talk demands more and more restrictions and punitive measures for already law-abiding owners). There's no critical thinking or independence allowed anymore. Every product you purchase, every movement you make, is a chance to show your total allegiance and submission to the state. For example, LGBTQ ideology is crammed into every little nook and cranny. I'm actually surprised all pro sports leagues don't permanently have rainbows and BLM logos on all their jerseys yet. You can't even buy a soda without 'fighting racism!' or 'smashing the patriarchy!' etc. It's nothing but hollow virtue signalling and cheap sloganeering. The sign of a weakened / collapsed culture.
Also, the companies must comply with the vaccine mandates lest they get shut down. Everyone is running scared and nobody wants to resist. There is a Japanese proverb: "The nail that stands up the highest gets hammered down the hardest"
If all these governments are uniting against the virus and they are all wrong and as some on here have stated “heads will roll” who will lead the charge? How?
-- I think we will see a common sense grass roots and populist type of uprising. I know many people can't stand him, but look at Chris Sky for example. He hasn't backed down or changed his stance once since this whole thing began, and he's been spot on with his predictions of how things would play out. He's been unfairly arrested and mistreated by police numerous times, and fights them in court. He has a large following of people who've had enough with the empty promises of politicians (no matter what side of the aisle). This is just an example and I'm not suggesting he is a type of saviour or anything. More people should stand their ground and not be afraid. United non-compliance.
With regards to the vaccine and virus, why have so few doctors and scientists stood up against it? With the global reach of covid, I would have expected a clear majority of either scientists or doctors to side one way or the other.
-- Many doctors have. The inventor of the PCR test himself said it doesn't really work. These people are banned / shamed / silenced and it's getting harder and harder to find them. Even google manipulates their search results to favour very leftist, PC, 'woke' type of articles or info. The media frames things dishonestly, so that if you ask a legitimate common sense question about the blatant hypocrisy and contradictions with the health advice, they will dodge the question by accusing you of killing your grandmother. It's pure projection and avoidance. I think people are starting to wake up to this.
This will last as long as we allow it to, simple as that.
