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.
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.
