No, not a governor, a Republican candidate for governor. From the article:
"Not only that, the website was designed and built by David Bramante, a realtor and a Republican candidate running for governor in California’s recall election, who says the website was simply a piece of “political satire” designed to highlight what he views as unconstitutional vaccine mandates."
Yes, the purpose is to raise fear that people will be forced to get vaccinated, etc. It's just another attempt to politicize vaccination.
- revolvingocelot 5y agoThe purpose is to "raise fear"? I think that the purpose is to spread exciting lies, and collect information. >"[Bramante] says that he does not publicly share the information of those who credulously submit snitching reports, but maintains a database with their details." I could think of all sorts of ways to use this information, if I were a chaos-is-a-ladder right-winger. People who were willing to "snitch" on their neighbours would surely make juicy targets for the useful idiots at some later date. Just make some shit up, and set your followers loose -- Bramante is already willing to do the first part. >"The website’s “About” page claims the site was set up by a “Dr. Jonathan Morse” and “Professor Brad Webber” who received funding of $7.5 million with the aim of creating “the leading for-profit United States ‘anti-vax’ registry for the government.” >But both the names and the attached pictures were generated by artificial intelligence, Bramante told VICE News. Morse and Webber are “100% not real.” "
