Conservatives on Twitter are mocking the apparent cognitive dissonance between President-elect Joe Biden’s plan to fight a Covid pandemic while working on a vow to welcome caravans of socially undistanced aliens into the country.

A Mexican cardinal has been censored by Facebook after claiming that the Covid-19 pandemic is part of a “new world order plot” and saying vaccines against the disease contain satanic microchips.

Caravans with thousands of Central American migrants reportedly are trekking toward the Mexican border on their way to the US, where they expect to find friendlier policies after President-elect Joe Biden takes office next week.

Mexico said it will not prosecute former Defense Minister Salvador Cienfuegos, whose arrest by the US on drug trafficking charges led to diplomatic tensions between the countries.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has pledged to spearhead a global campaign against internet censorship, insisting platforms cannot act as a “Spanish Inquisition” or stifle free speech using safety as a “pretext.”

Mexico has studied Argentina’s use of Sputnik V in its immunization campaign, and could order the Russian-made vaccine in the future, the country's senior health official has said.
