That's one of the allegations out there; that deaths of people who happen to have the disease are being conflated with deaths where COVID is the actual cause of death. Accidentally? Deliberately? While there's certainly an obvious motive for the latter, I'm actually not saying one way or the other. But the use of faulty models and COD conflation has been demonstrated to have taken place. It doesn't even require a detour into conspiracy theory territory to observe the simple fact that power hungry bureaucrats are making the most of this thing, and in ways that are causing psychological harm to the general public while making the rich even richer.
Ten years ago, what people on the right are saying now is identical to what the left would have been screaming from the rooftops: Dirty (pharmaceutical) corporations are making the most of a natural disaster (that is, if you believe the zoonotic origin hypothesis on COVID) to rake in obscene profits on the backs of a suffering public.
The only reason it's the right raising the outcry is because of the involvement of government overreach, which is something the left used to be against, too. The fact is that everybody, across the political spectrum, should be giving the emergence of corporatism in this country some very hard scrutiny and very little goodwill right now. From Agent Orange to DDT, these are people who have never had our best interests at heart, and there's no reason whatsoever to think that they're pushing these vaccines out of a sense of altruism.
