“Become a Kung Flu Fighter! Get Your Flu Shot!”

Well, this is embarrassing for the media and the Democrats. After being attacked as “racist” for using the jocular term “Kung flu” for the COVID-19 coronavirus, it turns out President Trump is not the first in government to use that term. The Obama administration used the term “Kung flu” in September 2015 for a Veterans Affairs campaign promoting flu shots. The flu shot campaign featured an image of a mask(!) wearing martial arts fighter in action.

The web page at the VA was recently taken down, however it appears in Google Cache.

The VA page contained a link to download the Kung Flu Fighter poster, but it too has been taken down.

The Wayback Machine also saved the page and it saved the poster.

The President uses the term “Kung Flu” again and says “COVID, COVID-19, COVID, I said what’s the 19. COVID-19, some people can’t explain the 19.” pic.twitter.com/9tD6dC8aGB
