| Vaccine Theories Leave Me Exhausted |
In late December the news was full of images of politicians, celebrities and other more-than-equal personalities “setting an example” by being first to take the vaccine.

This month is Black History Month. It also includes Presidents Day, which originally combined celebrations of the birthdays of the nation's first President, George Washington, and its 16th, Abraham Lincoln. We labeled this as OPINION, but what you're about to read is in truth purely facts, although some still refuse to acknowledge them.
