Any theories on why the World Health Organization would skip the Greek letter "Xi" when naming the new Covid variant?

or why they exempted themselves from the vax?

@JimBeam Im sure the idiot will want them courtsmartialled , however the courts are coming down on the vaccing mandate . Even the military have constitutional rights , and biden ordering them to take it is troubling. A british warship had 1200 crewmen, all vaccinated and they had a covid rate higher than the normal population.

When will these idiot sheep wake up?

@JimBeam Give it time, usually the word gets out about and they will sacrifice someone to take the fall.

[i]When word came down here from on high,
They skipped Covid variant Xi,
And called it "little o,"
To please senile Joe,
And the WHO had to shield China's lie.[/i]

Because they don't want to upset a certain dictator.

@SW-User

Interesting theory. Now we just gotta figure out which dictator it is.

Could be because the China virus came from China?

According to WHO, they skipped ‘nu’ because it’s easily confused with the English word ‘new’, and they skipped ‘xi’ because it’s a very common Chinese family name.

@JimBeam Yes, I thought about asking New Zealand Federated Famers or America’s National Audubon Society, but WHO seemed to be the ones to ask, because they’re the ones who named this and all earlier variants.

As a side note: An Indian couple gave birth to twins during the pandemic and chose the name Covid for their baby boy, and Corona for their little girl (sigh)

I don't believe what the WHO tells us.

I kind of like Nu

They couldn't use, "Nu" because it would turn into an Abbott and Costello routine.


Costello: So whats the name for this new variant?
Abbott: Nu
Costello:I know it's new, but what's it's name?
Abbott: Nu
Costello: I know it's new, but didn't they give it a name?
Abbott: Yes, the nu variant.
Costello: But all the other variants had names.
Abbott: Right
Costello: So why didn't they give this one a name?
Abbott: They did.
Costello: Then why won't you tell me the name?
Abbott: I did tell you, the variant is Nu.

@SpiritualMan I hope so, but I doubt it
