52 pages of lies about Covid-19, from colleague, Ken Weyler. Do not listen to him or believe anything he says. It's a sad day, and I'm sorry to make this request. #nhpoliticshttps://twitter.com/NHHouseDems/status/1445096697311416321\u00a0\u2026— Rep. Suzanne Vail (@Rep. Suzanne Vail) 1633373592
The lengthy document Weyler distributed to his colleagues—which he called a "vaccine death report"—described a supposed plot in which the vaccine is being used "to gain 100% control over the minds of all of humanity."
Among its preposterous claims were placing the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines under a microscope revealed the aformentioned tentacled creatures, which the document claim "moves around, lifts itself up and even seems to be self aware."
According to the document, this effort to control humanity via tentacled creatures hidden in a vaccine comes via the Catholic Church, which it claims is a vast "criminal network" controlled by a shadow pope who is the "supreme puppet master."
As local news station WMUR reported, the document describes the Vatican as a cabal of Satanists.
"We must understand that this criminal network is highly spiritual in nature, and all who are at the top are involved in dark ancient spiritual practices. To put it bluntly, they are satanists, also called luciferians."
Weyler's colleagues were shocked by his pushing of such dangerously absurd theories, including New Hampshire Republucan Governor Chris Sununu, who decried Weyler's "detachment from reality."
In a statement, Sununu also called upon New Hampshire House Speaker, Republican Sherman Packard, to remove Weyler from committee posts.
"I have repeatedly expressed directly to Speaker Packard about the need to remove Weyler from this position of leadership. These latest absurd emails have accelerated the urgency that the Speaker needs to take action."
Packard has instead defended Weyler's distribution of the theories, saying it is not "uncommon" for lawmakers to share information from their constituents.
On Twitter, people were appalled by Weyler's actions.
It appears that the stress of politics and the pandemic has greatly affected Chairman Weyler's grip on reality. He should resign and focus on his health. #NHPoliticshttps://twitter.com/NHHouseDems/status/1445096697311416321\u00a0\u2026— Rep. Andrew Bouldin (@Rep. Andrew Bouldin) 1633376619
Get this guy some help. Pronto!— Chris (@Chris) 1633466195
The quality of source material Representative Weyler finds convincing is... unsurprising. #NHpoliticspic.twitter.com/ZTSAvPPD2L— Timothy C. (@Timothy C.) 1633376911
With thoughtful, reasoned positions like this - Rep Weyler is now positioned to be the @GOP nominee for President in 2024. @NHGOP @GovChrisSununu— A Drew (@A Drew) 1633399253
I have serious concerns about Rep. Weyler's mental health. How on earth does an elected official believe such utter nonsense?https://twitter.com/NHHouseDems/status/1445096697311416321\u00a0\u2026— Hon. Wendy E.N Thomas (@Hon. Wendy E.N Thomas) 1633391598

This is so cringey it makes my insides squirm. Remembering that this is an elected official in NH makes them burn. This is absurd, dangerous, and vile. #NHPoliticshttps://twitter.com/LeahCohen603/status/1445116919430803465\u00a0\u2026— Michael DiTommaso (@Michael DiTommaso) 1633389582

\u201cThere is much ado about something that was not relevant to the purpose I distributed it for,\u201d Rep Weyler says about conspiracy-laden report he shared with Fiscal. Adds it was simply \u201cfor people to see.\u201d Then, after Rep Doucette whispers in his ear, Weyler says \u201cno comment.\u201d— Josh Rogers (@Josh Rogers) 1633530851
