Def, you mean this?

Big Lie (disambiguation).

A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique and logical fallacy. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously”.

Yes. More of less. I think unfortunately there are far to many that would gladly get in the box cars today if it meant they would be safe from the Corona Virus.

Replaced, today, by the term “conspiracy theory”.
