Same, for exactly the same reasons except the 'young' part.
I'm old enough to remember the media-generated hysteria about the Swine Flu in 1976. It was the same as with Covid, but the pushers weren't as powerful then. It went on all summer and into the fall of my senior year in college. There was serious talk about kicking us malingerers out of college if we didn't get the vaccine. Then one day I came back to the student house where I lived, and it was all quiet. Nothing about it on the news, and nobody was talking about it. Apparently we had a functional FDA back then, which yanked the vax after 25 people had died from it. Final score: about half the country vaccinated against Swine Flu; one person perhaps dead of the Swine Flu; at least 53 people dead of the vax. I think 60 Minutes eventually ran an episode on it, but most of the crap media that had been chittering condescendingly about it for months just went silent and memory-holed the whole affair.
The Covid play was deja vu on steroids, and instantly recognizable.
