Funny how all those 'conspiracie theories' wind up being true. Maybe people should start looking into them. 🤔

Investigation from whom? The people that did the crime?

That’s so SCI-Fi

What?

What?

Maybe there from area 51

Bring back TheTick 🐞

And so was HIV, cancer, and pretty much all these fatal diseases!!!!!!

Holy shit marty_mush, it’s true.

Dump some of that shit on the White House ...

2019: weaponized ticks & methgators. Sounds about right.

😳😳😳

Ticks? Well clearly they're evil.

May have? OF COURSE THEY DID!

Holy mackerel...

Tuskegee Airmen, Stateville Penitentiary malaria testing during WWII, electroshocking kids in the 60's adicting people to morphine in Project Artichoke, injecting disabled kids with hepatitis, letting mosquitos with yellow fever loose on Savannah Georgia, nothing surprises me.

Very Stranger things

Why does this shit not surprise me anymore? Intentionally inflicting folk with STDs, 'combat' drugs developed during wars getting out and being used recreationally now, and now we see them potentially using parasitic bugs as vectors for pathogens.

Stellar. And nobody will be accountable for it. 👍

You know when they say, 'may have' they were doing for decades WITH taxpayer funds. The only time the Military Industrial Complex admits to any wrongdoing is when they are caught dead to rights.

Oh, thank god, the feel good story I was looking for today...
