A scenario.

Imagine there's a knock at the door, you open it there's a guy stood there and he say's...
" There's a flu virus going around"
" We don't know how dangerous it is because of the way we have chosen to document the death rate figures" "so it only seems dangerous"
He also informs you that children are in no danger from the virus
He then proceeds to produce a syringe and says....
"In this syringe there is a vaccine" "It's bares no resemblance to any vaccine previous only in name and is untested on humans"
He then askes you to role up your sleeve, and could your wife and children line up to be injected with said untested vaccine "only in name"
What's your response ?

There would be no response. They would have to respond to a man armed and ready to use it to protect his family.

Get the hell off my porch before i set the dog on you.

Only that this man has the whole media apparatus to convince you.

There is a "No soliciting, No Exceptions" sign on my door.
I wouldn't even open it.

My front door is a big solid mahogany slab, with a small speak-easy port for me to open with wrought iron bars over the hatch. I just open the little hatch, and speak through there. " not interested, be on your way, before I open the door to let my pitbull out"

Depends : did he have any relatively fresh donuts to offer ?

Did he say that if we wouldn't take it, that we would be barricaded in our homes, and excluded from social-life ?

Did he have that same twinkle in his eyes, that Gill-Bates™ had in that interview, as he mused about how the second pandemic would really get our attention ?

Did he say that it would give us superpowers ?

Did he say that some ' Scientist™ ' somewhere made it ?

Did he have a wall of jack-booted thugs standing behind him ?

I would provide him with my managers address and send him on his way

My response would be against ATS' terms and conditions.

Like, way against.

I wouldn't be able to hear over the barking of my pitbull.

I love Pitbuls. I have one wrapped around me in my chair right now.

But that isn't happening, is it?

No, they don’t have the manpower or balls so just bombard people with incessant propaganda, putting the fear into vulnerable people and hoping idiots who gobble up the rhetoric will do the dirty work for them. As evidenced by your posting history.

scenario - Merriam Webster Dictionary

It still doesn't mean it is actually happening, or even likely to happen.
