Fear is a powerful motivator, and is the favourite weapon of the liar with an agenda. If it is in his interest to manipulate public opinion to support his cause, fear is the most effective way of achieving that.

I don't know who it would benefit, or how it would benefit them, but you can be sure that those behind the efforts to frighten the population into resisting official policy on the current virus crisis do have something significant to gain by it.
