Why do they call it 'Omicron'? Is it because it sounds a bit scary?

Just because it sounds scary doesn't mean Im going to get vaccinated.

Its the son of Unicron, a Transformers villain. Don't worry, Optimus Prime and the Autobots are on the job, they'll stop Omicron!

@StickyToffeePudding They are smelly, turd gobbling pirate hookers!

@StickyToffeePudding In reality though they're probably a Decepticon loyalist who would love to see Unicron and Omicron take over the world and terraform it into New Cybertron. Traitors.
@SW-User If I get to transform, I'm in!

No, Omicron is the 15th letter of the greek alphabet and this is the 15th variant of COVID-19.

“Mikron,” a form of “mikros,” means “little,” so it is literally a “little o.” It contrasts with the final letter of the Greek alphabet, “omega,” which comes from “o mega” or “large o.” The two letters got their names because “omicron” represents a short vowel in Greek and “omega” a long vowel.

On November 26, the World Health Organization designated the newly identified SARS-CoV-2 lineage B. 1.1. 529 with a whopping 32 mutations in the spike protein alone a variant of concern and named it 'Omicron', making it the 13th lineage to receive a Greek letter under its nomenclature system.

Omicron does not appear to cause more severe disease than previous Covid variants and is "highly unlikely" to fully dodge vaccine

@DeluxedEdition Surprisingly, I don't read CNN.

Allo-pathy gives other-disease with every treatment.

@ABCDEF7 and fda has approved multiple dangerous hazardous items in the past 🤦‍♀️

But this time is different because you said so

@DeluxedEdition I don't advocate allopathy, unless it is the only option.

They skipped n or neu in Greek because they thought people would confuse that with new so omicron was next up!

Meanwhile at an antivax rally:

Wouldn’t that be the best type of anti-vax rally? To force herd immunity? @Thevy29

@Unity Trouble isn't whether those people would die from it. They all look healthy. The problem is the people they'd pass it to.
In the long run less people would die though.

it sounds like a robot.
Following the Greek alphabet to avoid complications of how they named illnesses before.

That said, I liked one doctor's interview I heard about it, and he said, 'the name conjures up to me the word decepticon'.

I dunno. Maybe for the mob of mindless sheep who love being taught new words to dazzle people with how smart they are?
It’s variant but somehow they named it, just like delta a not uncommon word.
It's an anagram of moronic and also an underhanded punch at Greek people.

Apparently they didn’t want to upset a certain Chinese President!
Good for you for holding off on getting "vaccinated."
