Claim Review: COVID-19 as a Deliberate Act of Total War on Civilization

In an interview with LifeSiteNews, Dr. David A. Hughes posits that the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns were part of a deliberate act of total war on civilization by ruling elites aiming to establish worldwide totalitarianism. This claim, while provocative, lacks substantial evidence and is largely unfounded.

Dr. Hughes argues that the so-called 'polycrisis' described by the World Economic Forum is not accidental but a calculated effort to control and manipulate society. He refers to this as the 'omniwar,' suggesting that various crises are part of a controlled demolition of our way of life.

However, the scientific community and numerous peer-reviewed studies have consistently shown that the COVID-19 pandemic was a natural occurrence, not a deliberate act of war. For instance, a study published in Nature Medicine concluded that the virus likely originated from natural sources, not from a laboratory or deliberate release.

Furthermore, the implementation of lockdowns and other public health measures was a response to the pandemic, aimed at controlling the spread of the virus and protecting public health. These measures were based on scientific advice and were adopted by governments worldwide to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.

Dr. Hughes also claims that the COVID-19 measures changed his mind about the system governing us and opened his eyes to a spiritual dimension of the war. While personal beliefs and interpretations are valid, they do not constitute evidence for a global conspiracy. The scientific consensus remains that the pandemic was a natural event, and the measures taken were necessary to protect public health.

Moreover, the assertion that all civil institutions have been corrupted and that there is a permanent state of war at home and abroad lacks empirical evidence. While there may be instances of corruption and mismanagement, these do not support the claim of a coordinated global effort to establish totalitarianism.

In conclusion, the claim that the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns were part of a deliberate act of total war on civilization by ruling elites is largely unfounded. The available scientific evidence points to a natural origin of the virus and the necessity of public health measures to control its spread. Personal beliefs and interpretations, while valid, do not constitute evidence for a global conspiracy.
