They try this every couple of years. And every couple of years it retreats into obscurity. Like one of those German clocks where the wooden people come out at noon and dance for a while then slip back into their little huts to vanish until the next day.

Or like those ducks in a shooting gallery. You knock them down, they fall off the end of the loop and come back upright on the other side.

Endless repetition is the Left’s MO.

Exactly. To end the spread of Cholera, eliminate the contaminated water source that carries the vibrio cholerea organislm, and treat the infected patients that could spread the disease. To halt the bubonic plague, kill the vectors of the disease, the rats bearing the piggybacking disease-carrying fleas.

In Chicago, drain the swamp, and arm the victims so they can kill the vectors.
