Why is the new covid variant called BA.2.86?

Maybe because the name BS.24.7 was a bit too obvious? What ever the reason do not comply. Your life depends on it. A recent study out of Cleveland shows that the more jabs you have had the more likely you are to get the disease. The sickness/injury/death rate is 18 standard deviations above what it was prior to the introduction of the vaxes. From 1 - 4 standard deviations is considered a signal. Anything above 4 is considered a black swan event. We are at 18. That is way beyond a black swan event. That is likely to cause a societal breakdown.
