It actually makes a little sense though that outside actors may be perpetuating anti-vax shit.
Firstly it leaves more Americans even more vulnerable to biological warfare than we are already, it's one more thing to cause domestic conflict, and lastly, there's precedence. Like when the Soviets managed to covertly convince a lot of Americans that the CIA engineered AIDS and HIV to kill homosexuals, minorities, and poor people.

Feels strange, but I agree with you in two out of three points. The first point doesn't make any sense because what vaccination would help against biological warfare? However, it's as close to proven as it can get in those matters that Russia is trying to cause dispute and distrust in western societies, mainly to show their own people the world outside russia is messed up, mainly in order to distract people from what's fucked up in their own place. They are too smart to consider an actual war with america, because they know they couldn't stand a chance. Their leader may not have been properly elected, but he's not a narcissistic 5-year old.
Any infectious disease can be weaponized. The more people that are vulnerable to it, the better. And ideally, it'd be a disease that your own people are not vulnerable to.
Just what my training in WMDs and my friends in CBRN tell me.
Burying your head in the sand is no way to face the world.

Smallpox, for example, could've easily been weaponized before we wiped it out.

America and Russia are the only nations that still have samples of smallpox and let's be honest with ourselves, both nations have probably developed bio-weapons based on it.
On this point I agree with hammerhead, it would be WWI all over again, the country will break down in a revolution before they win, if even.
And that's even giving a very generous interpetation of it being 1 on 1.
