How DeSantis bullied the Special Olympics into betraying its own athletes
LA Times ^ | June 6 2022 | MICHAEL HILTZIK

Ever since the advent of COVID-19 vaccines early in 2021, the Special Olympics organization has been in the forefront of promoting their benefits.

The organization created a special page on its website with vaccination information and resources, urging “everyone who has access to the COVID-19 vaccine to get vaccinated.” The page informed users that the vaccine would help protect them from getting COVID, prevent serious illness if they became infected and help protect people around them.

Their “FACT” is false. There continues to be a steady stream of people getting sick with the Wuhan Virus at my employer. I know some of them, and they were thoroughly vaxxed and boosted before getting sick.

Special Olympics are run by LIARS.

The first and third claim are outright lies. The second is unfalsifiable - there is no way to prove it wrong.

...and by Protecting you from getting sick by Covid, we mean like a Blue City Police officer protects you from having your business burned down during the George Floyd Riots.

If you Die after receiving the vaccine, your death will be mostly peaceful.

At least the headline is fair and balanced. Not just kids he’s bullying but Special Olympics kids.

Anyone who is wondering what 'agitprop' looks like, here is a pure example. Flat-out damaging lies about an adversary; the truth is nowhere to be found.

SOP for the L.A. Times. Bloody doom on them.

Pro-life is anti-293 aborted kids murders. Special Olympics athletes one woukd think would mostly be pro-life.

God creates everyone he wants to and loves each. No say by man except free will self defense against free will offense to life.

All these other variants would be of no account if only everyone had got the vax and all the boosters and died.

The Mexicans are taking over LA, and they don’t read the LA Times. The LA times lost half its subscribers when Charles Manson died.
