I'm not saying this is definitely the case. Just offering it as a conspiracy theory that's probably more sensible than assuming the vaxxes will just kill everybody who takes them.

(Although it is a little interesting that the Chinese vaccines do not contain mRNA...)

Even if you believe in no conspiracies at all, it's been openly acknowledged that COVID was used as an opportunity to push through policies that wouldn't have passed in a more stable environment. Lockdowns and mandates of various kinds have been normalized, and we'll see a lot more going forward.
