Following widespread criticism after the distribution of a document to his colleagues claiming the coronavirus was linked to a variety of horrible things including Satan, the Pope, and 5G, a New Hampshire state representative resigned from his position as chairman of the state House Finance Committee.
The lengthy letter that Republican state Rep. Ken Weyler handed to his colleagues argues that the vaccination is part of a conspiracy "to obtain 100% percent control over the minds of all of humanity."
Aside from being full of anti-Catholic hate, the document, as reported by WMUR-TV in Manchester, also claims that the Vatican is managed by numerous popes, including one who is the "supreme master of puppets."
According to the Daily Beast, among the assertions made by Weyler in the paper titled "The Vaccine Death Report" was that "unknown, octopus-like animals" are being injected into millions of youngsters around the world through vaccination.
Misinformation and conspiracy theories abounded in the "report," which included claims that Roman Catholic leaders worship Satan and that multiple popes have answered to a mysterious figure known as "The Grey Pope."
A tentacled monster was discovered in each vial of both the Johnson & Johnson and the Moderna vaccinations, according to the paper, which was studied under a microscope and proved to be "moving around and even appearing to be self aware."
Weyler expressed regret for distributing the report, writing in his resignation letter, "I sincerely apologize for not adequately verifying the paper, as well as to individuals who were upset by my actions."
Weyler's fellow Republican governor, Chris Sununu, said before Weyler resigned as committee head that his actions in circulating the paper demonstrated a "detachment from reality."
Rep. Mary Jane Wallner, a ranking member of the budget committee led by Weyler, issued a statement on Tuesday in which she stated: "Rep. Weyler's ongoing dissemination of disinformation about COVID-19 is a hazard to public health in New Hampshire as well as the integrity of the legislature as a whole."
House Speaker Sherman Packard said Weyler will continue to serve on the committee. "He is an essential resource with unrivaled institutional expertise," the Republican leader said in a statement. The 79-year-old has served as Speaker since 2010.
