I’d posit that they spotted the opportunity pre-Covid seeing as mid-last year the WEF partnered up with the UN to bring in Agenda 2030/21 & then sponsored a coronavirus role play (Event 201) toward the end of the year, but I’m just a conspiracy theorist, right?

Then you have Gates, Rockerfella et al lining up ID2020 in the years prior: https://twitter.com/NellyTells/status/1252192926853185537
Gates has his own page on WEF website, 4th IR/ Great Reset related: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/bill-gates
Here’s the so-called overview of ID2020, some of its ‘stakeholders’ being the UN & govt. The page also lists its partners such a the Rockerfeller Foundation: https://id2020.org/overview
I mention the Rockefeller Foundation as we wouldn’t want to miss out on the Future Scenario Planning document & the uncannily prophetic Lockstep Scenario from 2010. https://issuu.com/dueprocesstv/docs/scenario-for_the-future/18?ff
2010 being the same year that this article (recently deleted from the Forbes website) but available in archives.
Though you might even have some trouble pulling it from archive as I did via this address: https://web.archive.org/web/20201011163656/https://www.forbes.com/2010/02/05/world-health-organization-swine-flu-pandemic-opinions-contributors-michael-fumento.html
It is also available here apparently: https://twitter.com/evidencenotfear/status/1316708180647444487
And there are the small players but ultimately linchpins for bringing these agendas to the people. I’ll only look at the UK here, but of course Fauci has his ties with Gates and I’m sure there are other similar pundits in countries across the world. In the UK you have: https://twitter.com/NellyTells/status/1316489500445618181
You’ve also got the oft forgotten 2019 UN Speech by Boris Johnson where he starts off sounding like he might understand people’s concerns about things like 4th IR tech but then goes onto ridicule anti-vaxxers & laud nanotech & it’s health applications:
Add now Johnson in October 2020 fully on board & not being shy about it waxing lyrical about resetting the UK with tech, tech, tech & using the UN/WEF slogan ‘Build Back Better’:
And...of course we can’t forget Ferguson of Imperial College, with funding ties to GAVI (also in on ID2020) & the B&M Gates Foundation: https://twitter.com/nellytells/status/1249747607641088001
Ferguson was also involved with the WHO in making predictions re Swine Flu (2009) , yes the one that Forbes had an article on saying it had ‘faked a pandemic’ for (see above). https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1278972/world-health-organisation-neil-ferguson-coronavirus-pandemic-who-nhs-latest-big-pharma-spt
And last but not least (for today anyway) you have the incestuous nature of how all of these organisations & govts (& media outlets) are funded by each other. That, could fill a whole other thread.
