CDC’s “Zombie Preparedness”
Zombie Preparedness
Dictionary.com defines a zombie as “a mute and will-less body, robbed of its soul and
given the semblance of life by a supernatural force, usually for manual labor or some evil purpose.This is what we’re told to prepare for!
They’re laughing at us as we hurry to the drug store wearing our oxygen depriving mask muzzles
and hold out our arms for the needle!
BTW, the CDC is NOT a government organization. It’s a for-profit private operation.
