And people eating pork created the swine flu epidemic. Please.
Because a disease preys on a population does not mean that population created the disease, whether or not it becomes an epidemic.
I'm pretty sure that AIDS didn't spring fully formed out of the abyss, thanks to anal sex.
And then, if you want to get picky, the deliberate ignoring of the health issues by public authorities escalated the epidemic.
- apotheon 17y agoWhile I'm not particularly fond of kingkongrevenge's example, I don't think you're faithfully representing it. He didn't claim it created the disease -- he claimed it created the epidemic.

- ahoyhere 17y agoSo did the widespread distribution of farmed pig products create the swineflu epidemic, as I said -- if the reports are to be believed. I see what you're saying, but I don't agree that I misrepresented it at all.
