Original Note:
COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is not a common cold or flu. The claim that the definition of cold and flu was changed to confuse the population is false. Merriam-Webster changed the definition of vaccine to be scientifically accurate. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/covid-19-cold-flu-and-allergies-differences/art-20503981 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/eight-persistent-covid-19-myths-and-why-people-believe-them/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/11/30/fact-check-merriam-webster-changed-vaccine-definition-accuracy/6354415001/
