Shane Gillis asserts that COVID-19 is a manipulation used to control the narrative and implement authoritarian measures.

“it's all about the narrative spin dude people you people argue like all this is made-up it's like dude all you need is one thing and then you can lie your pants off about it and there's no repercussion”

Matt McCusker suggests that elite powers manufacture crises like pandemics to maintain control and push narratives.

“every two or three years there's like a swine flu Oh avian flu yes just you know sorry MERS Sarsgaard SARS SARS no soccer stars what are they gonna do when it comes out to the fact that of it China they China China China what are they gonna do”
