I also think the massive Covid testing push has an underlying reason as well, and it's not our personal health they're concerned with either.
I think the rapid mutations are threatening to bypass the methodology of the current vaccines. Massive testing is the only way to monitor and isolate these mutations to get ahead of the curve, otherwise they'll be playing catch-up forever...issuing booster shots as band-aids for each mutation several times a year, rather than a sterilizing vaccine that eliminates it for all time.
Some also feel the testing push is a DNA harvesting ploy. Who really knows? Not me.
I wouldn't grant the pharmaceutical companies any assumption that they want the corona virus sterilized out of humanity like smallpox. If it hangs around mutating, the Pharma companies sell more product that way. An ever mutating bug like the corona is perfect for their bottom line (not even mentioning the political control it enables!).
Thanks to the easy-peasy issue of an Emergency Use Authorization (Pharma's in bed with the NIH? nahhhh, couldn't be ...), they don't have to have years-long trials. In the past, these trials were good-for-nothing because this cold virus always mutates to a different animal by the time the strain under review gets through testing.
So many benefits from this virus, so little downside (that is if you're part of the Big Pharma/Big Government complex).
