Playing the race card on vaccines

Not The Onion!

http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/editorials/article25368613.html

Having trotted out just about every conspiracy theory in the book against the tightening of vaccination laws in California, the opponents of Senate Bill 277 have come up with a new and truly cynical angle – race.

Echoing vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and using forums owned by the Church of Scientology, among other platforms, the head of the Nation of Islam and the group’s Los Angeles leader have spent the last several weeks denouncing the measure, which would eliminate the state’s overly broad “personal belief” exemption to school vaccination.

Last week, the Rev. Louis Farrakhan urged black families in Los Angeles to keep their kids home from school if state lawmakers pass SB 277, citing discredited claims that vaccines are linked to autism, particularly among black male children.

Meanwhile, Nation of Islam Western Regional Minister Tony Muhammad, who has credited Scientology with his emotional recovery after a police beating, appeared with Kennedy at a “town hall” at the church’s South Los Angeles community center. Kennedy claimed that the pharmaceutical industry has corrupted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Muhammad called out legislative Black Caucus members by name who had voted for SB 277.

More CT loons.

Anything to make the hated enemy even more hated.

Hey, at least they're not saying that they make the men (or women) sterile. That's the Pakistani thing. The CIA wants to eliminate strong, pious Islam through induced sterility. The result is polio, both in Pakistan and wherever the strong, pious men of 8th century Pakistani Islam go. Meh.

It's also been a while since the witchcraft penis-stealing scare that passed through Sudan a few years ago was seen. It was, of course, a Jewish or Western conspiracy. That was always a fun read. "The Jews put something in the water and it made my wee-wee go all wee."

We think chemtrail CTs are crazy.
