Despite the fact that more than one hundred years have passed between the two pandemics, they share frightening similarities. For both of these pandemics, misinformation has run as rampant as the virus of each respective era and stupidity of citizens runs just as much. On August 9th, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota kicked off. This 10 day annual event has been going on since 1938 and if you thought a deadly viral disease was gonna stop a swarm of people from attending en mass, buddy, you have not met human beings. In 2020, the rally went on as planned with thousands gathering, maskless in close proximity. To the surprise of no one, this ended up being a super spreader event because viruses love crowds.  I'd like to think we've come a long way in over one hundred years, but the sad reality of it is, people are gonna be people and this was the exact same case in 1918.

But if you're still vaccine hesitant or don't want to get the jab at all, the least you can do is wear a mask. Masks not only protect others, they protect you as well. You probably don't think twice about half the stuff you put in your body. Vaccines are not a cure. Yes,

Aquilino Gonell, and two of D.C.'s police: Officers Daniel Hodge and Michael Fanone. These were but four of the many officers that put their lives on the line when white domestic terrorists stormed the United States Capitol building in a failed coup attempt incited by loser, former President orange face, Donald Chump Trump. Sgt. Gonell and Officers Dunn and Fanone have been making the rounds over the past several months, speaking on CNN multiple times.  In Officer Fanone's latest conversation with CNN's, the officer gave his remarks on the very vulgar, profane laced voicemail that was sent to him while he was testifying on Tuesday.  Because officer Fanone is a white person that is telling the truth about what happened on Jan 6, his fellow white people view him as a traitor. Sure he
