The only reason we have flu viruses, is because we isolated the 1918 disease vector, an interesting type of virus, and we've called that and all similar viruses "flu virus" ever since.

We also have cold viruses, and people generally understand this to mean several different types of viruses that cause similar disease.

Well, it turns out that cold viruses can cause flu, and flu viruses can cause colds, and sometimes you get cold and flu at the same time with one virus, and sometimes you get both with multiple viruses, and sometimes bacteria joins the party, and sometimes your overall health wasn't that great to start with.

COVID is a branding exercise for a particular strain of a particular type of "cold virus". Given the vast and conflicting marketing around COVID, plus the purposely tainted tracking, testing and data practices employed to quantify its (supposed) effects in the population, I find myself questioning everything we've ever been told about any viruses, or even any communicable disease.
