Does anyone believe that some benevolent yellow vest manufactures have hundreds of thousands of surplus yellow vest on hand; for quick distribution?

The real reason is that everyone in France (and Belgium, and I think many other countries in the area) are required by law to have a yellow vest in their car in case of emergency situations. So that's why everyone has one on-hand already. I was confused about it too before I learned that bit.

However I have seem images that have been doctored to add yellow vests on to people... so there's definitely propaganda going on
