    What if you take the measles virus, weaken it and infect people with that?

        Bobby didn’t invent that first, so he’s not interested. MAGA are not followers, they are leaders! /s

              Measle Weasel is a pretty catchy nickname. But I like weasels and I don’t think they deserve to be associated with a paramecium like him.

        What if we give people a weakened form of autism, so their body learns to resist it?

      That’s a stupid idea. God created this virus as a test of our own faith. You can’t weaken it. (someone around me might say)

        You could inject it into people? I don’t think that’s ever been done before

          Hmm, I dunno, that sounds like something a drugged up hippie might do with their marijuanas.

                Okay, that’s way too extreme. That’s how you get herpes.
