Sometimes the story is so obviously unrealistic that it deserves to be dismissed out of hand. It's like involving flat Earth theories in healthcare decisions. No obviously that's not how that works.
If our control of nuclear material was so tenuous, then you might as well give up on everything. The danger to every single person would be palpable and continuous regardless of who's in office. Anyone who wants to do bad things could just grab some radioactive material and build a dirty bomb. Fortunately, that's not how this works, and obviously that's not how this works.
These stories deserve to be dismissed because they just don't make sense. They obviously don't make sense. Why in the world would we set up procedures with such obvious, unmitigated points of failure for such serious risks? Obviously we wouldn't.
So whoever is spreading this misinformation, think about it a little bit. Realize that the politicized story they are selling really just doesn't make any sense.
And then stop listening to those people.
