Harris Introduces Resolution Condemning Use of ‘Wuhan Virus’ as Racist


It aims to “condemn and denounce anti-Asian sentiment, racism, discrimination, and religious intolerance” related to the coronavirus, and specifically cites phrases such as “Wuhan virus,” “Chinese virus,” and “Kung-flu.” It also calls on federal officials to “expeditiously investigate and document” credible reports of hate crimes or threats against the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities and “investigate and prosecute perpetrators” if necessary.




Wuhan / Chinese is a Religion

Democrat Kamala Harris Introduces Resolution That Promotes Chinese Communist Propaganda Talking Point About Coronavirus


Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) has introduced a resolution seeking to condemn calling the coronavirus the “Chinese virus” or the “Wuhan virus” as being racist, which is a talking point that has been promoted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an attempt to deflect responsibility over the fact that the pandemic originated in Wuhan, China.

Harris’ resolution seeks to condemn “all manifestations or expressions of racism, xenophobia” and “scapegoating” by condemning “anti-Asian terminology” that she claims includes “Chinese Virus” and “Wuhan Virus.”

It’s false to suggest that referring to the coronavirus by a name that denotes its place of origin is somehow racist.

The Federalist highlighted just a few examples of diseases that have been named after their place of origin:

West Nile Virus: Named after the West Nile District of Uganda discovered in 1937.
Guinea Worm: Named by European explorers for the Guinea coast of West Africa in the 1600s.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: Named after the mountain range spreading across western North America first recognized first in 1896 in Idaho.
Lyme Disease: Named after a large outbreak of the disease occurred in Lyme and Old Lyme, Connecticut in the 1970s.
Ross River Fever: Named after a mosquito found to cause the disease in the Ross River of Queensland, Australia by the 1960s. The first major outbreak occurred in 1928.
Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever: Named after its 1940s discovery in Omsk, Russia.
Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever: Named in 1976 for the Ebola River in Zaire located in central Africa.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS): Also known as “camel flu,” MERS was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and all cases are linked to those who traveled to the Middle Eastern peninsula.
Japanese Encephalitis: Named after its first case in Japan in 1871.
German Measles: Named after the German doctors who first described it in the 18th century. The disease is also sometimes referred to as “Rubella.”
Lassa Fever: Named after the being found in Lassa, Nigeria in 1969.
Legionnaire’s Disease: Named in 1976 following an outbreak of people contracting the lung infection after attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia.

From this a.m.'s podcast:

Have a listen. But if no time to do so, the podcast title says it all: COVID-19 must be passing and the economy is on the road to getting better because Harris thinks it's a good use of her time to introduce this resolution and a good use of the news' time to cover it. His Harris comments start at approx. 22:00.
