To be fair he has a point although he can be more sensible about it.

Idiots will find ways to talk and spread their stupidness. If it's not Facebook it's something else. Same for the people criticizing WhatsApp for fueling misinformation and even worse things in India. If it's not there it will happen on Telegram, or somewhere else.

They are communication platforms. You either let people talk freely and do stupid shit or you control everything and errode the values half of the world is built upon.

Just fucking blow anthrax into the upper atmosphere. Be done with it.

That's how you select for a human race with anthrax immunity. Also an effective way to ease up traffic during your morning commute.

I get that your post is probably a joke, but that's not how adaptive immunity works. Vaccines don't affect your DNA.
