There’s that possibility too (and you still have to wonder if all the labor shortages are because the death rates are far greater than they’ve been reporting).
The push for sexual confusion is that too (transgenderism, homosexuality, etc; all result in lower birth rates)
Yup—I think the elites have decided on a multiple path assault to “flatten the curve” on world population growth:
—Cripple medical care with vaccines that hurt the immune system—use direct mandates, propaganda and other forms of duress and/or brainwashing for maximum effect. This has the added benefit of destroying the trust of the doctor/patient relationship. This includes a “forever booster” plan to condition the masses for obedience to take whatever junk is injected into them.
—Transgender/homosexuality pervert stuff as you noted—again propaganda starting with the very young
—Inflation to make it very expensive to raise a family.
—Destruction of long-term employment by large corporations—lots of layoffs due to constant mergers and acquisitions—that also deters family creation. Vaccine mandates also destroy employee trust in corporations—if your employer is treating you like cattle you would be crazy to expect they care about your career with them.
—Political chaos and war—coming soon to a country near you. That can kill a bunch of young men as well as deterring family formation again....
Taken together this seems to be a good fit with the politics of the “elite” and the mass media around the world today.
They are not stupid—they have an agenda.
They want to flatten the population curve.
