This is so cute! Change the name and [poof!] the problem is gone!

Isn`t there an easier way? Isn`t there some halachic authority you guys could get to opine on this issue, to explain it to the Israeli masses?

He could tell your black hats that while the genetic code for the virus (the pattern) may come from swine, the actual virus particles in their own body are created from material in their own bodies and not material from swine. In other words that the virus in their own bodyes is like a photocopy: it has no material from the original document, only the same pattern.

Would they not understand that? Is the science beyond them?

Think of it from a leftist point of view. naming it for Mexicans is blaming it on Mexicans, who are themselves victims.

Or is that what the "Mexico flu" versus "Mexican flu" switch is supposed to do?
