There's lots of bits about COVID-19, and what I paraphrased came from the part about what to do after you have survived a nuclear explosion.
I think the more likely explanation is simply that it was written by people in disaster management who have a myopic focus on the COVID-19 crisis and a vested interest in keeping COVID under their purview (i.e., to be seen as an ongoing disaster).

They'll rail against government corruption in the military industry, tobacco and alcohol, the healthcare industry (including the pharmaceutical industry pre-vaccines), private prisons, the energy industry. But mention that some government department or agency might have an interest in exaggerating or perpetuating the problem it is tasked with addressing, and suddenly everybody loses their minds.
