It's so stupid I literally think it's an attack on US citizens by hostile foreign governments

Sorry, was this meant to a different comment? I don't like the move Hegseth did, but I'm confused how this relates to measles.

That anti-vax rhetoric and "measles party" rhetoric are so unbelievably bad, I think it's psyops put forth by foreign governments meant to kill Americans deliberately. And with Hegseth removing large portions of cybersecurity, it's only going to get worse.

Yes you are right. The covid pandemic was also masterfully used to spread other conspiracies (that's how my family members got infected with the propaganda), and that it caused many Americans to die was a bonus to them.
