The problem for a prospective save-the-planet-via-mass murder-overlord is that diseases don't discriminate enough. What to do? Just releasing your Morticoccus or Captain Trips or whatever won't do you any good if you too can be infected.
But releasing it in two parts, in the form of vaccines against some other ailment?
Well even the old movie "poison & antidote" trope is mostly fiction. The only thing that's close is opioid/Narcan or Anaphylaxis/Epinephrine, and these need to be applied just right, so it's impossible to apply secretly. Targeted murder/genocide seems to be the only proven method - so far.
Oh I know it's Bond-villain levels of credibility to my speculation.
But as a nefarious plot it kind of works:
Introduce new virus. Use new vaccine as vector for a dangerous component.
Wait 5 years.
Introduce another virus. Have second vaccine. Both vaccines amplify the danger and probability of side-effects to an escalating degree.
The diseases are simply there to get an excuse to have people take the shots, over and over again, compounding the danger every time.
Since the Blofeld in this scenario could simply /not/ take the shot, it works a lot better than a disease engineered to be a killer á la Moonraker.
Kind of how environmental toxins present in food, water and clothing and cell phones and [...] all compound each others' toxicity.
But the logistics and paper trail, and the actual bio-chemistry, that's where it breaks apart. I don't doubt for a second that there are plenty of oligarchs and politicians in the West, that would happily attempt an Endlösung to save the climate or whatever - just look at Canada's version of Aktion T4.
Oh I think they fucked up on many levels. I believe many were blessed due to their haste. There are several theories that I have heard. First the DOD had the pharm companies rush to produce mass quantities, that the batches and the "quality" were....inadequate... To produce whatever the initial consequences were meant to be. The second thing was the implementation of the shots themselves. That before each injection the air was suppose to be aspirated out of the needle, so as to disperse the "chip" into the arm, where it was meant to remain stationary. As I write this, it seems they are absurd ideas. But who knows??
One thing I noticed at the beginning of the pandemic, there was a big concern about making sure that the vaccines stayed at very low temperature, or they would lose effectiveness. Hospitals and clinics were concerned because few had the necessary freezers. Suddenly, with no explanation or further discussion, this problem just "disappeared". Molecular destabilization or the thermal degradation of delicate organic molecules isn't a problem that just disappears.
Who says that the government can actually make an effective GOF bioweapon, and that maybe we got hit by a failed beta version?
Here's some paranoia-fuel:
