I would not be surprised if we later learn from multiple eyewitnesses that the vaccines were tested on political prisoners who were later executed and their organs harvested.
If your party is intent on creating a paradise on earth for workers,
but first willing to starve more than 10 million in a famine when enough food was actually available,
send teenagers with red bandanas to throw people off the tops of buildings,
and lie about suffering 500,000 casualties in a four month war with the North Vietnamese Army,
then generally nothing that is publicly stated surprises me.
