Fake pandemics can be politically useful. In 2009 I was living in Cairo. The muslims despise pigs, and anyone that consumes them, so of course they used the swine flu excuse to ramp up the institutional discrimination against Coptic Christians. The garbage collectors were mostly Christian, they used the household organics to feed their pigs which they sold to other Christians. The government used the “pandemic” as an excuse to slaughter all of their pigs and burn them. Years of raising pigs and their investment of labour destroyed over a fake pandemic. Heart breaking for people living in such a tenuous situation.
