I'm still trying to sort out the ultimate motivation and goals of those who clearly want a society 100% comprised of compliant brainless worker bees producing goods for them

They already have that.

Why work so hard to kill precisely the people you (as a divinely superior being) want to have working to provide your comforts for you?

Obviously they wouldn't. Depopulation was never a valid concern about the vaccine. More peasants is beneficial for everyone except the peasants.

My personal theory is after an accidental release of the covid bioweapon the powers that be scrambled to save their peasant stock, as a farmer would do for his livestock. There's a few side benefits, making money on the vaccines, an opportunity to experiment with a large population, and squashing free speech, keeping us noisy peasants from being as bothersome.

So business as usual. I don't think there's anything malicious behind the vaccine. I do have a concern for the long term effects, which are currently unknowable, as well as the push to ridicule people for having valid concerns.

Overall the vaccines are less likely to fuck you over than say... Wellbutrin, or any antidepressant, except almost nobody is up in arms about that one.
