A Multi-Million Dollar Fake Vaccine Scam
Hundreds, an estimated 600, of fake vaccines were shipped to Hong Kong and internationally by a group led by "Kong". These vaccines consisted of nothing but saline solution or mineral water. They were being sold to medical facilities and other places at inflated prices. Officials in China have made at least 70 arrests in relation to this case with more suspected. It's reported that the group made an estimated profit of 18 million yuan or nearly 3 million U.S. dollars in this scam. -

Gucci belt
Have you ever seen a person roll up in an expensive car to later find out they rotate between friends couches at night? Or a girl with a channel purse riding the bus? I thought of both when I came across this meme on Instagram. Since the Second World War, the US has posed as the leader of the world. We’ve boasted economical sucess, technological advances and number one in the sciences. Then COVID hit and our true colors came out. I wouldn’t go as far as this meme and claim that the US is a third world country because we’re clearly not. But we’re also not number one like we pretend to be. We were on top of the world is everyday back in 1945, but that spot is not ours anymore. The current administration has proven inapt in ever sense of the word. And now the world sees us as the posers we’ve become. I’m hoping for better days after these elections. -

Fake Images
This Article shows how Mainstream news sources (for example CNN or FOX) can show its viewers misleading photos. During this Pandemic it is very important to get the full story of everything that goes on across the country involving Covid-19. This causes these images do more harm than good, when educating viewers on Covid-19. I feel it is important to stop the spread fake news, especially when a deadly virus is involved. -

Be skeptical
My older brother has a friend named Rory. Now this happened sometime in late July 2020. Rory's wife Kayla went into labor with their first child. When Rory alerted his parents told his parents to come visit the kid they decided they should get tested for Covid-19 just to be sure they signed in and registered for the test, then they waited inline to get tested, and after about an hour of waiting they decided to leave and just go see the baby. After visiting them they went home and life continued. About 4 days later they received a letter from the hospital that said "Unfortunately your tests came back positive for Covid-19" which was odd since they didnt get tested.
