It's disappointing to see this discussion continue to revolve around politics. I doubt political preferences could be demonstrated to have any relationship with virus origination and transmission. The earliest known evidence of SARS-COV2 was found in samples from March 12, 2019 in Barcelona Spain. The earliest known evidence in China was November 17, 2019 just about the same time as the earliest known evidence in Italy. I'm sure those dates will be refined over time, research is ongoing, but this is what scientific investigation has revealed at this point. I wouldn't call this the Barcelona Flu or the Italian Flu. Not sure why a region has to be part of the name of a virus other than international finger pointing. Sure is a good bet this or any other virus could care less what language the host speaks or who was in an executive office at any time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The virus should have not been made political from the start. But someone insured it would be that way. Thank you for adding some facts to this discussion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Rocky Mountain tick is not found in the Rocky Mountains within the United States, it's exclusive to the Northwest.. That's not really important because most people are infected by dog ticks. In fact just about the only area in which Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is rare is the Rocky Mountains. Here's a map of Spotted fever infections in the U.S. in 2014.

Bedrock Bob 4,179 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The "Spanish Flu" got its name because Spain remained neutral in the first World War. They reported on the flu because it was not a strategic concern for them. But the reason it was dubbed the Spanish Flu was to implicate Spain who was regarded as cowards for their neutral position. Other countries involved in the war did not report the deaths or extent of the virus because it was taking more casualties than the battlefield. Reporting on the extent of the virus would be a strategic mistake. People called the 1918 flu the "Spanish Flu" for the exact same reasons that certain politically motivated xenophobes call covid19 the "Chinavirus" or "Kung Flu". The name was adopted to denigrate a country and to try to lay blame for the virus on a certain nationality or race. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is not doing your reasoning abilities any favors either. The coronavirus vaccine has none of the ingredients you mention nor is it injected into the bloodstream. Just in case you are interested in facts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
