1. Not content with making up their own lies...

...they attribute them to leading scientists who have said nothing of the sort, or nutjobs whose claims have been thoroughly debunked -- but does anyone really expect most who read that to actually research it for themselves?

Such idiots!

Uh oh! Some essential amino acids look pointy like swords! Better avoid those too!

5. a spike protein analogy

Let's say you have an untrained security force working a sports venue and you want everything to go peacefully for the big game. How do you make sure there aren't a lot of disruptive MAGA types attending? Simple. You buy a butt-load of the least dangerous yet most identifying part of the MAGA type, the stupid red hat, and load a bunch of pitching machines with them, then line up your security folks and have the pitching machines batter them with MAGA hats till they are totally pissed off. On game day, any time a security person sees a MAGA hat they will swiftly, instinctively remove the wearer from the venue. You still have a pile of MAGA hats but they can do you no harm.

7. Good analogy

Annoying but effective.
