The Black Plague

Back in the 1300’s…. trade ships picked up the virus from Asia - fleas and rats the source.
The first ship landed in Messina, Italy with most all the ships crew dead and dying - nasty black lesions on their skin.
Too late…….this highly contagious plague spread from the docks into the towns and then across Europe killing about 1/3 the entire population.

It’s never completely been eliminated - a few cases appear still, while sanitary conditions and drugs to treat it available .

Since Edward Jenner in the 1700’s invented the first small pox vaccine, people have UNITED in the common goal of vaccines. From George Washington to President Eisenhower - vaccine mandates have been initiated for the good of all.

They are supposed to work that way but not today, it's all political
My body my choice plus over ten thousand people died from the vaccine and that's what they told us about and thousands more got sick with cancer and blood clots and hearth issues They keep that quiet. It's a choice a personal choice so far
I know a lot of people personally that got sick and died .

From the COVID vaccines ? The data indicates it’s really very, very safe , and much safer than getting COVID .

Yeah this covid ain't a joke. Lots have died from it, political or not. New variant going around now, has taken alot of guys out at work. I just lost two neighbors from covid very close to us. I got all my shots and booster shot. I'll take my chances being vaccinated, haven't had any trouble from the shots. Lots wont get vaccinated for political reasons. I dont think that should be a deciding factor. A close neighbor and friend got the delta and almost died, was out of work six weeks and still has complications. Its your decision, I believe in being vaccinated for me and all my family and friends. Be safe, wear your masks and wash your hands at the very least.
