Really? That's all you got?Here....read this, minion.Wow so they have to carry the stigma of that, huh?
I'm sure the Asian Flu is the same thing huh?
Only to idiots that don't know why they gave Rubella that name. The Spanish flu, also didn't originate in Spain. Calling it a 'foreign' virus is Donald "Not my fault" Trump's way of escaping any blame for his own inaction.
BTW, this all started with you two who don't have enough brain cells combined to rub together claiming that Biden called the China travel ban xenophobic. But you haven't provided any evidence of that. You may not like the argument that calling this a foreign or Chinese or Wuhan virus is xenophobic, that was Biden's take on it. Had nothing to do with the travel ban. So, I asked 2aguy to name 5 people who called the ban racist. He has completely failed and you're not helping his case, doofus.
The Asian Flu was a pandemic outbreak of H2N2 avian influenza that originated in China in 1957, spread worldwide that same year during which an influenza vaccine was developed, lasted until 1958 and caused between one and four million deaths.
Influenza pandemic - Wikipedia
They didn't call it the China flu? How come?
That has to be the weakest possible comeback. Saying nothing would have been better.
Yeah, so how does any of this have to do with saying Biden called the travel ban racist? He didn't. But Trump is scapegoating the virus by calling it foreign as if it is anymore, it's global. It's as American as apple pie now and Trump helped to serve it.
And here is the democrat party press being racist......

- Calling the Wuhan Virus the ‘Wuhan Virus’ Is Racist
But now it’s racist, even though the very same media declaring it racist is the very same media that first called it the “Chinese Virus” or the “Wuhan Virus,” or some variation thereof.
Here’s a pretty comprehensive list that’s been floating around. There are probably more examples, but this more than makes the point:
