As for why Alex was talking a bunch about these things before 9-11, I have a few theories. The first is that in 1998, the military made anthrax vaccination mandatory, which came to a head in 2000 with a very high-profile case of Major Sonny Bates, who refused to take the vaccine and was ultimately discharged from the service. After this, Bates embarked on a long journey of trying to sue folks about the vaccination mandate. And if you consult some of the contemporary material, it really reads a lot like the talking points about the COVID vaccines today. For instance, here's a bit from the Washington Post article about Sonny's lawsuit against the FDA from May 2001. Quote, the suit seeks a court order that would require the FDA to treat the vaccine as an experimental drug. Such a ruling would mean the military could no longer administer it without informed consent. To be clear, enlisted persons still have the right to informed consent. There just might also be policies in place where refusal to accept something will violate the terms of their employment. Right. But they're not killed. Right. They're not like, they don't sneak up on them and inject them with the smallpox vaccination from behind. Yeah. It's not like you get dosed. And it's not even like, oh, you're going to spend the next 20 years in the brig. It's just like, oh, I mean, yeah, we get it. And if that's what you want to do, that's dumb. But, I mean, you're just fired. Right. Go get a job. That's fine. Why would we not want all of our soldiers to be immune to a possible weapon? Ah, no, because what if the end? So this is going on. And like, you hear that same thing, like that emergency experimental drug kind of language that is mirrored and echoed entirely 20 years later. This is essentially right in Alex's wheelhouse, this story. So I would guess that the odds are very good that he was following this entire situation and creating exaggerated narratives out of it, which would make anthrax a really hot topic on his show. And the anthrax vaccine, how they want to force it on you. And honestly, maybe it wouldn't have been relevant to most people until after 9-11, which gives the appearance of Alex talking about this a whole lot.
