Allegedly collapsing from the virus. Showing people collapse and claiming it was from the virus may have been, indeed is likely to have been, simply psyop by the government to scare people into taking the vax.

I remember watching those videos on Youtube back in Dec 2019 and Jan 2020 time frame. They were so ridiculously over the top that they looked like a Hollywood B movie. Rather than making me fearful of the virus, they made me extremely skeptical.

Aside from just the ridiculousness of someone suddenly going stiff in the middle of the street and falling over, or people being trapped in their apartments while men in hazmat suits welding their doors shut, the incongruence between the alleged danger posed by the virus and the response to it worldwide was the main thing that made me doubt everything.

Remember how politicians in Europe and the US were saying "Don't call it the Chinese virus!" and were organizing "Hug A Chinese Day"? Nancy Pelosi did a photo op strolling through China Town? If a virus really were making people drop dead in the streets, then it would have been full lockdowns immediately, all international flights cancelled, and full quarantine for anyone suspected of being infected. Instead, we had "Hug A Chinese Day" and otherwise business as usual until MARCH.

It was all clearly BS from the start.

I was suspicious as well, but when they showed people starting to be locked in their apartments, I started prepping for it in earnest.

Not that I thought Covid was such a big deal, although the possibility did exist that it was, but that if people panic and/or other governments take similar actions, I wanted to be ready for it. Thus we were in pretty good shape when the lockdowns went into effect.
