There's a disturbingly plausible endgame to the Covid madness, one which seems to be taking shape right here in Canada and now has begun to spread elsewhere. I'm talking about the policy of trying to convince sick people they don't need treatment, but rather ought to commit suicide. Like a lot of policies, it started out sounding reasonable, but is fast expanding to insane proportions; and it allows for an out from a horrific double-bind: the medical system in most nations is legally committed to providing care to everyone, but cannot get the resources to do so, not without starving other things which are higher on the list of priorities as our society stumbles into crisis.
Convincing the elderly, chronically ill, and mentally unstable to die rather than seek treatment is a good way to free up resources for other purposes. In other words, it'll be triage by another name. I've also noticed that a lot of people are beginning to come around to the notion that all, or nearly all, the vaccinated are going to die, which could, if it became widespread, lead to a lot of them deciding to end their life on their terms rather than suffer first. The vaccinated are also, disproportionately likely to listen to their doctors, who are now pushing suicide.
I haven't seen any mechanism I find plausible which will kill all or even a solid majority of the vaccinated in the years ahead. On the other hand, I have seen mechanisms likely to cause most of them serious illnesses which will require medical treatment, and if they live in a country with medically assisted suicide, I could see a huge fraction of them pressured into suicide.
This is especially true if the theory articulated by Rintrah Radagast catches on, that the immune systems of the vaccinated are damaged and driving illnesses because they are chronically infected with disease. If this catches on, then there's a way to argue that the suicide is actually for the benefit of society, by removing a source of disease! In a good many cases, they'd probably be able to survive, but will be talked into it by their doctors; and may not even be given a choice in many cases.
I really hope I'm wrong, but my guess is that this process will be well under way by the end of the year.
