Wikipedia has retconned the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic to the “1918 Influenza Pandemic” to preserve the present narrative. They’re gaslighting us in real time.


Link to wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu

At the top of the page it says.

quote:

It has been requested that the title of this article be changed to 1918 influenza pandemic. Please see the relevant discussion. The page should not be moved unless the discussion is closed with a summary describing the consensus achieved in support of the move.

Why are we making fun of 1918? I think 20th Century flu is more appropriate.

Would this be a good time to tell the SJWs about Russian Measles?

Never heard of them, but I've heard of the German Measles. That's what they called Rubella 50 years ago.

Don't forget the Wiki page of all the other diseases named after the places from where they originated: West Nile, Ebola, Zika, etc.

Going to be busy time changing history to fit the present narrative.

Are people in Colorado and Connecticut this sensitive about the Rocky Mountain Measles and Lyme Disease?

Have they renamed the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome yet? What about all the other racies plagues, pestilence and disease names throughout history? The Black Plague sounds racist AF.

Dammit! I was hoping they would call it the "Taco Bueno Run for The Border Surprise."

But seriously, this just shows the ridiculous extent to which some people have TDS.

You're going to have to go back and "sanitize" the hundreds of thousands if not millions of citations calling it the Spanish Flu. Holy hell are these people hateable.

Damn it. They have the China Virus page locked.

I was going to stand them on their head with my name for it.

About a month or two ago, I was reading the wiki page on the 1918 Spanish Flu and it mentioned that it likely originated in China. Of course, it probably wasn't known until much later and became known as the Spanish Flu because that was one of the 1st known outbreaks.

I think it should be renamed the 1918 Chinese Flu.

No more German measles. No more San Joaquin Valley fever. Hell no more Montezuma’s revenge....
