OK, read the article, and I'll go a little off track.

I think the sticking point is American education. When mRNA vaccines came out people where screaming, "It alters your DNA!!" Well. OK. That idea is ignorant on the face of it.

Know what? I have basic, even college level, biology under my belt. Had never heard of mRNA! Imagine not being able to pronounce "deoxyribonucleic acid". Can you see how these dumbasses conflate the two?

Read the article! It was hard for me to parse. Imagine knowing less biology than your average bear. No wonder these people are easily fooled!

"Meh. Big words, can't pronounce. Sounds good!"

And to my shame, I didn't stop to think it all through. But I trust the experts, and I don't trust these experts.

So, what's the end game here? Please, stifle the snark. Merely playing on ignorance for votes? Surely there's more to it than that?

Can we impeach this fucker at least?

Congress needs to run backwards through a field of viruses.
