Not made up. Although I would understand why people might think it's crazy enough that it would be.

Vax program is common knowledge, literally everyone knows about that, and it was an intelligence program not an execution campaign. Your conclusion is made up

		GP is using "executed" instead of "lynched." This goes back to the polio vaccination campaign started in the 1990s. Bin Laden op happened in 2010-2011. Polio workers were being chased away and lynched longer that.

		You're arguing against a straw man then. I didn't claim the "intelligence program" was an execution campaign against anyone but Bin Laden. The conclusion that it was a trojan horse, I think quite factual. I did claim Pakistanis have executed vaccine workers ("circumspect people with needles").... because as I cited they have. In part because they have been used as CIA operations.
