I found a video on youtube by the name of "Hitler Finds Out hes got Herpes" which seemed to work very well as a reference to STD/STI's. Within the video Adolf Hitler is having a very heated discussion about a fat chick he had randomly hooked up with. He was complaining because he was starting to get blisters which he then realized was herpes. He angerly shouts "who forgot the condoms!" but by that point it was obviously too late. One of his men makes a point that he can still live a normal life with Valtrex which is partially right. The medication is used to help prevent break outs however there is no real cure for it. Adolf is so outraged that he even says he would rather chill with Stalin than have herpes. "My balls are already Soar" he says, which could be one of the symptoms. This video uses fear messaging however in a very unusual way. Hitler punishes the guy who gave him the thumbs up to go ahead and hook up with that girl by making him apply the cream to his balls. This video is one that would most likely be found hilarious by everyone however the language makes it only for adults. By using someone as famous as Hitler, it is a very effective reference.

President Clinton's Appology
Basically, the Tuskegee Research Project was a study held in Alabama which lasted for 40 years. This project was developed to see how syphilis effects the African American body and how it progresses. Consisting of nearly 400 African Americans who were told they were receiving treatment for their illness which was referred to as "bad blood." In fact, they were receiving a placebo and were used as human guinea pigs.
They experiment was ended in 1972 however it took the United States government 25 years to apologize for the horrific events that took place in Tuskegee. President Bill Clinton gave an apology speech which involved the eight survivors of the experiment being there. As always president Clinton was well spoken. He not only said he was sorry but he also developed a plan to try and make up for what the country had done the best he could. He came up with a five point plan which included not only making Tuskegee into a museum but also devoted laws in which would prohibit any other racial type experiment to take place.
Today the United States of America enogerated a black man as a president. This is a huge step for the African American people as well as all of those living in the United States. It shows that we have grown away from such racism and truly are sorry for the events that took place for over 40 years.

Bioterrorism
When you think of war, what comes to mind? For most people, war is generally thought of as two militant groups fighting to the death or until one side surrenders. The costs of war on both sides are immense. Not only is the funding of the war expensive but the amount of lives spent are as well. Battles are usually fought with guns, however in this day and age that isn't always the case. Although guns are a very easy way to kill, terrorists have discovered another way in which not only effects one person but tends to effect everyone around them.
The use of lethal diseases as a war tactic have unfortunately been used for years. Dating all the way back to the french and Indian war as well as the siege of Quebec. The spreading of disease such as smallpox causes massive losses in populations. When used, the entire public health is at risk. The rate in which the virus multiplies and jumps from victim to victim effects the entire community.
Smallpox was eradicated in 1979 however still remains frozen in a few labs around the world. The security in which this lethal disease is kept i am not sure of however if were ever to be breached would put everyone in harms way. The vaccine that is used to cure smallpox is no longer made, making the disease ever more dangerous. Why the virus is still around i have no idea.
