Maybe he&amp;#x27;s right about something else.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;IMO the problem is that it was ridiculed when he said it. Now he can look back and post a link to an NPR article stating that human-monkey chimera embryos have been created.&lt;p&gt;I make this comment only because a friend of mine sent me the NPR article [0] with a note saying &amp;quot;man maybe Alex Jones is right about a lot of stuff, lol.&amp;quot; I don&amp;#x27;t know how common this sentiment is, but it&amp;#x27;s another talking point lodged in Jones&amp;#x27;s favor (to the detriment of all of us).&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.npr.org&amp;#x2F;sections&amp;#x2F;health-shots&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;04&amp;#x2F;15&amp;#x2F;987164563&amp;#x2F;scientists-create-early-embryos-that-are-part-human-part-monkey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.npr.org&amp;#x2F;sections&amp;#x2F;health-shots&amp;#x2F;2021&amp;#x2F;04&amp;#x2F;15&amp;#x2F;9871645...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>throwaway5752</author><text>Alex Jones claimed 1) that the US Air Force attacked Texas with weather control weapons 2) that the majority of frogs in the US are now gay because the government is intentionally turning people homosexual for population control 3) that the most monstrous shooting in my lifetime, Sandy Hook, was a false flag and the bereaved families of the murdered first graders were crisis actors.&lt;p&gt;Alex Jones is an awful person.
