The new COVID-19 variant first detected in South Africa was given the name Omicron by the World Health Organization on Friday.

An advisory panel classified Omicron as a highly transmissible virus of concern and gave it its name under its Greek-letter system.

Sounds like WHO has big plans for the "Big O."

Why that’s racist. Why not give it a Swahili name from Africa?

There are no new STUPID LYING Covid variants of interest, and people need to understand this.

How do Hospitals test for these fake variants? The fraudulent PCR test......IT IS ALL A LIE.

You need to know that your own governments, backed by the elite luciferian Globalists, have waged war on humanity, and their primary end is Depopulation.

The vaccine IS the bioweapon that will render your immune system USELESS and you will become an H I V patient who can die from ANY virus, ANY variant, since your immune system no longer works due to a malfunction of your T-Cells.
