You know, we were really on the fence about this whole “Is referring to COVID19 by its place of origin racist” thing. That is until Vox came along to explain it.
Turns out, it’s not only racist; it’s also dangerous:
Trump’s new fixation on using a racist name for the coronavirus is dangerous https://t.co/lvjrN3B7R1

It’s Vox. What else did you expect?

Sounds like BS.
Also sounds like Vox hopes we all get amnesia:
Vox: Calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus" or "Wuhan coronavirus" is racist.

Shame on you, Vox.
No, really. Shame on you. You’re pathetic.
This racist study is dangerous, too: https://t.co/0q6taF3aUe https://t.co/3hUoI7cuxQ

Vox doing Communist China's bidding is the only danger I see here.

Exit question:
Does communist China own every journalist in America?
