Bravo!

Are you serious? No. This is no longer a debate worthy of anyone's time. Go vegan. Trust me, if you really think you can't live without the taste of meat, there are plenty of plant-based options now that taste just like it.

Last couple of weeks I've noticed more here in south Lauraville area, which is uncommon.

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
