The plague? RFK has been on the job half a year and the plague is already back?

    I think armadillos and prairie dogs harbor the disease. Don’t mess with them!

    Edit: armadillos might be leprosy, can’t remember for sure right now

    This is nothing new in the west - plague has always been rampant in prairie dogs, yet people complain about efforts to control their populations.

    Don't fuck with prairie dogs, bats, armadillos, etc.

    These things happen every few years, there's no vaccine, this has nothing to do with RFK.

    A kid in the southwest nearly died from plague ~5 years ago, I guess what RFK does is retroactive?

    Again, plague is rampant in wild animals in the west/southwest, it's not a new issue.

    I'll put an /s there next time. I kinda assumed people would figure I didn't actually think RFK was out there releasing plague but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Honestly at this point I'd fully believe that the plague is controlling the worm which is controlling RFK's brain.

    I would kill myself because I'm so sick of suffering this poorly written reality but then my mum would be upset and I'd rather her pass on from this world thinking I'll be ok. Then I'll kill myself.
