Still incorrect.That's cool. Still named after a country.

A) A nonsensical argument.
B) While it is common for viruses and diseases to be named based on the location of their origin, isn’t a tradition. If it were, SARS would be called “Taipei” virus, AIDS would be called “Central/West Africa virus”, and Cholera would be called “India disease”.
Whatever it takes to support his beliefs.Those facts do not help him, therefore he will find a bad quote from some rightwing site to help.
This is a brand new story
WHO accused of '''carrying China'''s water''' after official refuses to acknowledge Taiwan during bizarre interview | Fox News
You need a link to some earlier ones where the WHO head mishandled this from the get go?
I think Trump should just defund this organization at this point. I don't see what good they do us.
From a comment by another person in this thread, a person I won't name - just in case they wish to delete their words at a later date
Doesn't "fuel xenophobia"? Perhaps you should take a few minutes to read the news

Looks like you've gone full-on conspiracy nut by apparently claiming - not in so many words, but apparently - that China killed a few thousand of its citizens as a test before releasing the virus into the Western nations.
They hid the facts and the WHO carried their water.
Any evidence other than some bloggers saying that some Asians said this?
Still incorrect.
Spain?
You linked Tucker Carlson talking to a Youtuber.
The wrong country
Hahahahaha
Still a country nonetheless
It's the norway virus
No way
So let's call it the canada virus. Why not?
Because it originated in China. That's why.
Hittin’ the bottle early today, Jimbo? :drinkYou're now trying to turn "common" into "tradition"
Cholera has been around for over 200 years, so that blows a big hole in your “tradition” argument.What has been common practice in historic memory is also called "a tradition". That there are occasions wherein newly infectious diseases do not use geographic place names for their origin is irrelevant. Even so it should also be noted that when the origin of a new disease is initially unknown (AIDS) the naming has been done in ignorance, or adopted from historic memory.
Anyway, SARS should be also be renamed China virus (the first outbreak in Southern China). However, given the ever growing plethora of infectious diseases coming from China, there going to have to start naming them by province or City.

You don’t get to determine what is irrelevant or define tradition to suit your false argument.
No, you didn’t.Wrong. As I already pointed out "a tradition" does not mean the ONLY tradition.

No, you didn’t.
I’m going to try to assist you in un****ing your thinking because you don’t know the difference between “tradition” and “common practice”.

Hopefully, now you understand that because something may be a “common practice” does not mean that it is a “tradition”.
You’re welcome.
That's the definition of racism sure though not everyone recognizes or agrees when that occurs. Are you claiming otherwise?
It certainly isn't what you or conservatives think it is, which is why you get anyone but mouth breathing rednecks to buy in China virus.
Who's most people? Are most people calling it the China virus? Don't most voters, especially minorities reject your party every ****ing election? Buy a damn clue.
Actually, I find your rage over no one agreeing to call it the China virus pretty ****ing funny.
If you feel threatened or stymied from speaking your mind, good. That means the shaming works. Me, i got no problem speaking my mind. I can express all the ridicule and contempt I have for conservatives without much fear of anything. Guess it sucks to be you.
