Well, I am very skeptical about all the conspiracy theory aspects.
What "conspiracy theory aspects" are you referring to, specifically?
I don't think people were purposely lying about anything because it served no purpose.
As I said in my OP, the efficacy of the jabs was most definitely lied about, as was the amount of testing that was performed with regard to the jabs.
[1] These jabs were originally sold to the public as being "95+% effective". That turned out to be a lie, as most everyone who has gotten the jabs has also gotten COVID. This is the documented truth that you can look up for yourself, not a conspiracy theory.
[2] These jabs were also sold to the public as being able to "prevent oneself (as well as others around you) from getting COVID". IOW, it was sold as being able to "prevent illness" and "prevent transmission". That turned out to be a lie, not only because people were still getting sick and transmitting the disease anyway, but also because Pfizer themselves have now openly stated that they never tested their jabs for "preventing transmission". The whole "get jabbed so grandma doesn't get sick" mantra had absolutely ZERO rational basis, since Pfizer now-admittedly never tested that claim in the first place (and still hasn't to this very day). This is the documented truth that you can look up for yourself, not a conspiracy theory.
The purpose of these aforementioned lies was ultimately to transfer as much money as possible from taxpaying citizens to Big Harma. It worked. Big Harma has made countless BILLIONS of dollars off of this scam while your own pocketbook is all the lighter...
No, it was a rather mild disease actually.
It killed absolutely nobody. See the COVID death scam article within my sig ("...debunked!") for more information on the death certificate scam that sneaks COVID into the very bottom of Section 1 when it should really be listed in Section 2.
and nobody how to handle it or the proper cure.
It was known quite early on that both hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were safe and effective treatments. Those treatment options were quickly suppressed by TPTB.
There was no more evidence ivermectin was effective
A lie. See Uttar Pradesh.
and people had no problem getting it if they wanted.
A lie. See the unavailability of ivermectin as an OTC medication in the States. See the widespread unwillingness of doctors to prescribe it and/or pharmacies to fill that prescription. See the number of people resorting to obtaining/using the horse paste version of it because they had difficulty getting the human pill version of it. See the FDA twitter page proclaiming that "you are not a horse, you are not a cow". TPTB actively did NOT want the general populace getting their hands on ivermectin.
Generally, if we are ill we go to the doctor and follow his treatment and drug recommendations.
Who is "we"? Generally, if I am ill, I rest and make sure that I am adequately hydrated and eating a healthy diet. I might also take some OTC medicine. If that doesn't work after an extended period of time, then I generally go to a doctor and seek the treatment that I need (such as an antibiotic prescription). I don't automatically adhere to everything that the doctor tells me or suggests that I do, because he might very well say or suggest something that is rather stupid. Thankfully, that doesn't happen very often because I have a doctor who isn't indoctrinated and isn't a complete moron.
But many decided to treat this disease differently
Correct, because indoctrinated doctors were making bad suggestions and refusing to prescribe what actually works (in favor of prescribing risky new rushed hardly tested Big Harma products), so people who knew better seeked more effective and less harmful treatment options (such as ivermectin).
accusing people of lying,
Because they WERE lying. Pfizer lied about the testing that they did on their jabs, for example.
having financial reasons for recommendations,
Because there WERE financial reasons for recommendations. For example, all of the government money involved with COVID testing, COVID cases, COVID hospitalizations, and so called "COVID deaths".
claiming the drugs were not effective.
Which drugs? You mean "run-death-is-near" and "max-covid"?
Once again, the COVID scam was ultimately a HUUUUUUUUUUGE money transfer from taxpayers to Big Harma. Big Harma made out BIG off of taxpayer dollars because of this scam.
Most importantly, they tried to make it political.
The Demonkkkrat communists made it political. (See my OP).
It is no coincidence that the right didn't believe the recommended treatments while the left did.
The "recommended treatments" were injuring and killing people instead of healing them.
The right tried to make COVID a conspiracy
The Demonkkkrat Party ITSELF is a conspiracy.
the same way they did Obama's birthplace,
His supposed "birth certificate" was/is problematic for a number of reasons. This issue was never resolved, but at this point is irrelevant as he already did his damage during two official terms (and now for an unofficial third term via the current Chief Puppet). This is documented truth, not a conspiracy.
Cruz's fathers involvement in JFK death,
Why is this important?
claims Trump won the 2016 popular vote,
There is no "popular vote". He won the electoral college vote 304-227. This is documented truth, not a conspiracy.
claims the Republicans were going to do nefarious stuff to prevent his nomination in 2016,
The RNC wanted "Jeb!" to win, but Republican voters chose Trump instead. This is documented truth, not a conspiracy.
The way that this rate is calculated has changed to make it appear lower than it actually is and it is now both dishonest and incomplete.
claims of voter fraud in the 2018 midterm,
I think you mean "election fraud" (not voter fraud), and there were claims of election fraud by both Republicans AND Demonkkkrats in 2018. For instance, I claimed that the Wisconsin Gubernatorial race in 2018 experienced widespread fraud, especially in Milwaukee County, that handed "Tyrant Tony" Evers the "win" over Scott "Brown Bag Lunch" Walker. On the other hand, Stacey Abrams claimed election fraud in her race against the RINO dipshit Kemp, and
still to this very day has not conceded that race. You will never ever ever ever ever see CNN call Stacey Abrams an "election denier".
claims of voter fraud in 2020,
Again, I think you mean election fraud. There is a mountain of evidence for election fraud regarding what was supposed to be the 2020 election, but Demonkkkrat communists simply pretend that it doesn't exist by vigorously repeating the mantra "there is no evidence of widespread fraud".
I also noticed that you conveniently forgot to mention the Demonkkkrat claims of election fraud re: 2000, 2004, 2016 (and even 2018 that I already touched on above). Remember the "hanging chad" fraud claims in 2000? Remember Hilary claiming fraud in 2016? You can even watch a lengthy video compilation of Demonkkkrat claims of election fraud if you wish to educate yourself...
the crowd at the inauguration,
Irrelevant.
It exists. For example, the existence and tactics of the "4th Branch of Government" (Intelligence Branch) is well known and documented at this point. The existence of Klaus Schwab and the WEF's influence over numerous multinational corporate policies is well known and documented at this point.
This is a Demonkkkrat conspiracy theory, as I have only ever heard Demonkkkrats talk about it.
Pizzagate, a child sex ring in government, etc.
All documented and known at this point.
The Trump crowd is distrustful of government
FOR GOOD REASON!
My OP includes a plethora of government lies... Why would I trust an entity that lies so often and so blatantly?
and will believe any claim of government secrets and conspiracies
Nope. Only the ones that are corroborated, and there are A LOT of them that are.
and Trump uses this to drum up support by playing the victim.
His "America First" economic policies speak for themselves and drum up support all on their own. He has no need to "play victim" and doesn't pretend that he's a victim in every situation around him. He IS a victim at times though, such as the illegal raid on Mar-a-lago.
If anyone "plays victim", it is a percentage of black people who believe the media lies about anything and everything "disproportionately affecting people/communities of color", whatever THAT means.
The COVID controversy was part of this overall approach.
What is "the COVID controversy"?
