The idea of falsified COVID coding was likely spread by some disinformation organizations such as the Russian troll farms. My opinion is that many people died (maybe millions) IN THE US because of disinformation like the magnified FEAR of the COVID shot. Also, historically, the US was slow to recognize the potentially deadly nature of the disease. Today, there still lingers a fear about ANY shot - even one like the flu shot, which has been proven, for years, to be effective.
