They’re now trying to shut down everything again and make the world safe again for private jet-flying elites to escape from voters. This time they claim there’s a super-spreading, super-scary new variant of the Wuhan (pardon me, COVID-19) virus from Africa. As far as I’m able to discover there is no test for it, it has actually been around since July and it doesn’t seem particularly fatal. So far it has produced only mild cases. But the taste of totalitarian control has only whetted the desire for more, with the thought of destroying those “deplorable” productive citizens of the middle class an added bonus.
How it got its name (Omicron) is another sign of the political nature of the thing.
Paul Nuki, the senior editor for Global Health Security and Campaigns at the UK Telegraph tweets the answer:
A WHO source confirmed the letters Nu and Xi of the Greek alphabet had been deliberately avoided. Nu had been skipped to avoid confusion with the word “new” and Xi [the name of the Chinese Communist boss] had been slipped to avoid stigmatising a region,” they said .
The NY Sun’s editors had fun with that excuse:
As for Xi, the World Health Organization explains the omission as a move meant to avoid offending a whole “region.” That, to the uninitiated, implies that it feels an entire region would feel slighted were a virus given the same name as the surname of the Communist Chinese party boss, Xi Jinping. On that the sardonic Leo Rosten would probably mutter nu nu -- as in “oh, come on.”
In the meantime, President Biden has sharply restricted travel to the U.S. from Africa which reminded people of how he accused President Trump of racism when he restricted travel from China and later from Africa

Super-super scary stuff! That big, bad "virus" is making a comeback. This time it means business, apparently.
It’s Yiddish.

I'm confused, so lemee get this straight; ... Germany won't allow their medical community to legally kill you unless you have a "vaccine" that has a good chance to legally kill you first before the medical community does it "officially"?
Did I get that about right?
