Yep

Just making the situation worse by shutting small businessess down and forcing the vaccine and/or masks

It has to be malice. If they were doing things at random they would have done something right by this point. So far everything they have done is the complete opposite of what you would want to do if you wanted this thing to end quickly with the fewest casualties possible.

Fun Fact: natural immunity is not ancient knowledge kept away by liberals to feminize men.

Fun Fact 2: natural immunity is achieved by assimilating spike genes from the particular virus strain of the particular virus variant that's infecting you, and nothing but you, since the cells they're targeting to self replicate, have yours, and only yours, personalized genome, so much so police can nail you with just a strand of hair.

Fun Fact 3: Viruses are strengthened during gain of function research, so the spike genome they provide to your organism, contains literally more and better information, than you'd get from the actual disease, meaning vaccines will always be definitionally better than natural immunity.

Fun Fact 4: Proud antivaxxers are walking bio weapons research labs, as their higher viral loads, and exposure to drugs that develop antiviral drug resistance, makes the particular strains growing inside them (refer to "Fun Fact 2"), at a higher risk for mutation.

There aren't two viruses that are the same, and there's gorillions of them at any given minute, copying and reconfiguring their polymerases every time they intervene a new cell, rinse and repeat...
