Alignment of Planets Infected Clothing, Humans God’s Wrath aimed at Sin Jews Cures/Remedies Pomanders Mixture of Molasses & Chopped Snake Repentance Flagellants

11 The Flagellant Brahren
Singing hymns and sobbing, the men beat themselves with scourges studded with iron spikes. Blood gushes from their many wounds, and the spikes embed themselves in the torn flesh. The ritual is performed in public twice each day. Such exhibitions are highly influential. The establishment may focus their attacks on church corruption and their promotion of a wave of savage anti-Semitism. but the masses worship the flagellants as living martyrs. Their deeds are to be admired and their commands to be carried out. Many Followers massacred Jews believing they had poisoned society.

12 The burning of Jews in 1349 (from a European chronicle written on the Black Death between 1349 and 1352)

20 THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE PLAGUE
The Swiss scientist Alexandre Yersin discovered the true cause of plague. The bubonic plague, an infectious disease, are caused by microbes that invade the human body. The microbes that cause the plague are a type of bacteria known as the Yersinia pestis. The bubonic plague, however, does not start in humans. Instead it infects only rats and cannot be spread directly from rats to humans. Fleas, which live on the rats for food, abandon the rat when the rat dies. If these fleas then find a human the, Yersinia pestis is injected into the bloodstream. Then the disease can spread from man to man.

21 How it was Transmitted                                                                                                                                            Yersinia pestis seen at 2000x magnification. This bacterium, carried and spread by fleas, is the cause of the various forms of the disease plague
