This time around, the grifters are telling their suckers that Hillary Clinton and the round-earthers have cooked up a diabolical pathogen called “Disease X” to rid the planet of “excess population,” “install a corporate world government,” and “enslave humanity.” If you don’t want your body to get covered in festering boils and carbuncles the size of chicken eggs, you need to buy a “medical contagion kit” with vials of life-saving ivermectin manufactured right here in God’s most favorite country in the whole universe.
You’re definitely right, however that is by design. “Education” systems (i.e. religion-based private learning) attenuate critical thinking by replacing scientific analysis with theological opinion. Yet in my eyes that’s not education, that’s pushing an agenda.
