but it is actually about antibiotic resistanceSeptember 14, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris
President Donald Trumps health adviser, Michael Caputo, was appointed to serve as assistant secretary of public affairs in the Department of Health and Human Services in the middle of the worst global pandemics in 100 years. His paranoia, however, seems to have gotten the better of him.
A New York Times piece on Caputo cites his social media accounts where the government adviser said that there are people in the Center for Disease Control who are guilty of sedition for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. He claimed that left-wing hit squads were preparing for an armed insurrection after the November election.
According to Caputo, the CDC harbors an official resistance unit determined to undermine Trump.
The CDC does have a resistance unit, but its about finding solutions to anti-bacterial resistance.

Like asimov said my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge..
Talk radio, fox news and republican propaganda escalated that from a belief to a religion.

He then listed a series of conspiracy theories that came together to predict that Trump would win in November but former Vice President Joe Biden would refuse to concede.
And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin, he said. The drills that youve seen are nothing.
He went on to say, If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because its going to be hard to get.

Mr. Cavuto appears to be inciting violence. at this point, i fully expect murderous trump-loving militia to be publicly gunning people down in December regardless of who wins the election.

They either believe this for real, or are spreading this shit to create the war they need to take control.

(25,976 posts)When you see it from someone deep in the throes of paranoid delusion, it's time to take away his keys. If you know what I mean. It's bad enough when Fox spouts this level of nonsense. Every media outlet needs to bash this hard. There's no excuse for it coming from a government official. It should not be allowed to stand without heavy criticism and ridicule.

What we really need is a vaccine for stupidity and disinformation.
Ugh!
