DISINFO: It's not a coincidence that a nurse was near the Skripals

SUMMARY

It is an extremely unlikely coincidence that the first person who ‘by chance’ attended to the Skripals was the top nurse of the British army. An experienced officer, highly connected, who is also known for handling highly infectious patients. Someone wrote the script for this enthralling saga. This is one of the many, many ‘coincidences’, curiosities and lies that make the official Skripal poisoning narrative so unbelievable.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative. The disinformation message was communicated as a series of rhetorical questions, implying UK government conspiracy behind the Skripal case. This is often-used method of applying a pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Salisbury poisoning. Also see here. British Police has presented a solid chain of evidence on the Skripal Case, with pictures, connecting the suspects to the locations in the case. Parts of the material have been released to the public.
