DISINFO: War in Ukraine doesn’t distract people anymore so US elites return to COVID-related control methods

SUMMARY

As COVID-19 cases jumped in last weeks, the Biden Administration is calling US citizens to vaccinate and some states are making face masks mandatory again. The renewed activity of the US administration in this regard shows that US elites have squeezed the “war in Ukraine” series as much as they already could and are returning to proven methods of international control.

RESPONSE

Recurring conspiracy theory framing official measures to prevent serious consequences for public health as “control mechanisms” by secret elites, part of a wider pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign about COVID-19 in place since 2020.

No evidence is provided to support any of the elements claimed in this disinformation story. The ultimate goal of these messages is to undermine public confidence in democratically elected authorities.

See other examples in our database, such as claims that the US created Covid-19 and biological weapons in Ukraine, that Western global elites chose to plunge their countries into poverty and dictatorship to retain power, that the Covid-19 pandemic development suggests its deliberate nature and US involvement, or that globalists and Judeo-Masons prepare to release more deadly pathogens from biolabs.
