The truth is starting to come out, it's been a money grab from the start.

I still firmly think that the shift towards masks and fearmongering was done first and most immediately for the sake of mail in ballots, and then for the sake of overall population control with things like vaccines and treatment, money is a factor but less of one.
The people running the country have had essentially unlimited money for a long time now. It's only so useful.
They have unlimited money because the money's not real.
Well sure, but they have all the precious metals, personal guards, mega-mansions, private aircraft, yachts, and high end sports cars as well. They'll be ok if the "money" bubble bursts.
Disagree. I think it was done initially because the numbers were grim, and the government had to look like it was doing something, regardless of efficacy. It just morphed into what you said, because a good crisis should never go to waste. The coof killed a lot of people. We saw around a 16% increased overall mortality rate in 2020. Statistically significant, but not really that big of a deal in perspective. Certainly not as deadly as McDonald's, or black neighborhoods.
As to tinfoil takes, covid was a godsend to unfunded liabilities.
The numbers were not "grim" it only really affected people who were 65+ and had underlying conditions. Anybody under 30 has a worse chance to get killed by a lightning strike.
I mean, you're not wrong for the most part, but even if the deaths were the 65+ group, the numbers were still grim. Took until around June before the affected age ranges were fairly clear. Even if they were older, it's still tragic on the individual level for those that lost loved ones. The shutdowns were stupid once containment was no longer a possibility, and once the data showing mask mandates weren't effective, they should have been discarded.
It's a huge power grab, to be sure, but there's a reason why it was such a prime opportunity. It wasn't just manufactured whole cloth.
When you're looking in from the outside, it's hard to tell the difference between an intended effect and the "side-effects".
And which is which really depends on what one intends in the first place.
The numbers were grim and the government had to look like it was doing something because of CCP propaganda. The initial fear people had wasn't a 16% mortality that hadn't happened yet - it was videos of people dropping dead as they walked, bodies in the streets, and CDC/WHO modelling of the death toll being in the millions.
It all leads back to China.
Computing Forever did a great series on this very issue. He referenced EU documents, Gates Foundation documents and Rockefeller Foundation documents, all written before the pandemic.
He did a good job of running down the initial predictions of death rates and identifying who funded them.
I used to have a playlist of his examination of the subject including some really insightful interviews with world respected scientists;
But he has been banned from YouTube for spreading Covid misinformation. Woo.
To sum up, I think it is a lot easier to take advantage of a crisis if you already have your pieces in place and an effective media machine to control the messaging and public perception. Everyone knew that a pandemic would be coming eventually; they come every few years. The one before this was the H1N1 swine flu.
It was always a money grab.
Even the lock-down was a money grab. It was a way to intentionally steer the effects of the sudden deflation into small businesses so that the largest investment banks in the world, and their corporate allies, could continue to make absolutely staggering profits.
