Variants and sub variants of all virus are giving alphanumeric designations so the first discovered variant is giving a letter A.
Yet depending on just how a virus mutates depends on how it's variant is next name. So "A" could become "B" or "AB".
It's depends on how much mutation has gone in the newer variant.
If a strain of virus is persistent for a long time then it's given a real name like SARS or SARS-Covid. If a lot of mutations occur then they use the alphanumeric system.
The full name of this variant is "SARS COVID-19 OMICRON BA4 or SARS COVID-19 OMICRON BA5".
At sometime they might come up with a real name for the BA part.

BA 2.75 is said not to just evade the cardio-arrest vaccines, but also the monoclonal antibodies

@doong You just can't talk about vaccines without lying some more, can you?

@LordShadowfire That particular poison-jab safety is far below standard and fail to conquer the pandemic. What have been useless so far, better be fully stopped.
@doong What needs to be stopped is disinformation junkies like you. Is somebody paying you to convince millions of people to go without protective measures in an attempt to decrease the human population, or do you do it as a hobby?
Not a lot... Its just a simplified referencing system to prevent the title of a reference to Omicron from getting longer than the article you want to look up.
