Yeah let's forget about the plague that actually wiped out over 75 million people
Had to go back pretty far there, eh? There's your first clue.
The plague was caused by a bacterium. Brain teaser for ya: do you think 75 million would have died, if there was broad access to antibiotics at the time? Take your time.
Or the 1918 flu that killed more people than WWI
So, let me get this straight...your evidence for why this "happens all the time" and we are "overreacting" is to bring up a 100 year old pandemic that ravished the planet?
What the fk is wrong with your brain, dude?
