'Flying syringes,' conspiracy theories and mosquitoes: The far-right battle over a rural vector control board
As soon as Jon Knight applied for a seat on the Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District board, the conspiracy theories started flying. Knight, who owns a hydroponic gardening supply store in Redding, spoke darkly about his suspicion that Bill Gates had helped unleash genetically modified mosquitoes in California. And he warned about 'flying syringes that will mass vaccinate the population.
The supervisors last month rejected his application on a 3-2 vote. Patrick Jones, a gun store manager and chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said during a meeting last month that he did not like how Ewert handled pandemic-era homelessness programs and he would not 'not support him on this board or any other board.' During the next meeting, Jones recommended the board approve Knight. Jones did not respond to requests for comment.
