A Wyoming health official involved in the state's COVID-19 response described vaccines as biological weapons and a plot by Russia and China to spread communism worldwide.

2.5 generation after Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine and hearing "the word"
from good bible based pastor has its toll. BTW and now if Fox news is nutty enough
we have NewsMax for these brain dead idiots.

The perfect weapon to immobilize and destroy democracy. Common sense is common and a misnomer. Critical thinking isn't inherent, it's learned. Fail to teach it faithfully in a liberal democracy and we suffer the consequences.

Russia? I thought they were our friends? They're communist again? When did that happen?

Bombs away!

As to being used to spread communism, I suppose there's something "socialist" about using government (public) funds to research, produce, distribute, and administer a vaccine. We won't have a capitalistic "pay for poke" system involving selling the medicine to the highest bidders. Except for pro sports teams, who will get early vaccination because of economics.

The consensus of Forum Hosts agree; the wacky opinion/conspiracy theory of a Wyoming health official is not LBN, but rather, Creative Speculation. You are encouraged to post this article in that Group (https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1135) or the General Discussions Forum
