Would you say the names West Nile, Zika, and MERS are also signs of propaganda?

No, because those were all in common use.

It shouldn't matter whether you think Wuhan virus or COVID is the propaganda-name, a company just defaulting to the most common term for their market is not a useful sign of propaganda.

Using Tik Tok's Covid information as proof of propaganda is just looking at noise and pretending it's data.
