Call me “jaded” but I believe that pharmaceutical companies work on vaccines THEN, they come up with names of dread illnesses to apply them to - (ended with a preposition). IOW, working backward! Got a name - we need a problem!
As to the names they attach to them - they draw them out of a hat like drawing names at Christmas time. Of course, when they’re put in the hat, they are single letters so it’s one letter at a time until someone says, “that’s it - that will do.”
Crazy? No doubt but like I said, I’m OLD......
I’m right there with you.
No, you are not jaded, you just have prior experience in this new world of constant illnesses cropping up when needed. To both make money, and cull the herd as well. also, to influence how elections are are undertaken. 🙂👍
