It makes more sense if you view it as an extremely politically motivated decision to signal that we should stop thinking about COVID entirely.

Your theory sounds conspiratorial and lacking in evidence.

Read any newspaper for the past year and a half that has been ceaselessly pumping out “COVID is over” think pieces while life expectancy is declining, excess deaths remain high (whereas before the pandemic they were largely static for years and years), and disability claims rise. It takes effort to ignore how much the consent is being manufactured.

Yes. It's called "acceptable losses".[1]

The idea that only deaths matter is part of this narrative.
