This may or may not be staged, faked, or whatever. The virus is not itself an illusion or hoax (though the response to it has bee one) some people are indeed vulnerable to it (and should take steps to protect themselves, not force society to shut down) and some are occasionally dying from it. This is not in question.

That said, there is a good deal of personal/official fakery and focused propaganda out there, as Freeper USMC79to83 posted these collages below a few days back illustrate. This is also indisputable:

Then there are those who are not merely enthusiastic about the vaccine, but on a personal mission from God to wage war on the unbelievers who have not been vaccinated.
