Names of Covid Variants

Covid is the only virus that I know of where variants have been given names. No flu virus has ever had this happen to it, nor can I think of any other virus having named variants. HIV and Monkeypox don't come with named variants.

This should have been a red flag from the start because names are usually related to marketing rather than science. Scientists only give names to things that they want to promote in some way or other. They name things that they want to convey to the public. The rest is categorized with numbers and codes.

With this in mind, let's look closer at the names chosen for the virus and its variants. First of all, the name of the virus itself was changed from Wuhan flu, to Covid19. The original name told us two useful things:

1. The virus is a type of flu.
2. It originated in Wuhan China.

The new name told us the following:

1. The virus belongs to the Corona family.
2. It was first discovered in 2019.

This may look more scientific, but it's less useful. Instead of saying that the virus is a type of flu, we're given a categorisation that requires some knowledge of viruses to decipher. It's also more informative to know the origin of a virus than its year of discovery.

Interestingly, there were no talk of Covid19 variants before vaccines were rolled out a year later. Covid19 didn't evolve into Covid20. It has remained Covid19, even if it was clear as early as April 2020 that the original virus, as described to us by the media, no longer existed. Whatever we were faced with in the latter part of 2020 was not the original virus.

2021 became the year of mass vaccination as well as the year of the variants. We were still talking about Covid19, and we're doing so even today. The reason for this is that vaccines are made to target specific diseases. If the name of the disease were to change, so would the name of the vaccines, and it would cause suspicion if vaccines kept changing their names from one year to another.

However, the vaccines weren't very effective, and this was due to the fact that they didn't in fact target the disease. The explanation chosen for this was that Covid19 has variants, some of which evade the vaccines.

This created demand for variant of vaccines without causing suspicion over the fact that the vaccines were in fact targeting something other than the virus. Putting a scientific sounding name on the variants would further strengthen the impression that the vaccines only needed tweaking, and that the scientists had everything under control.

But there's something more going on than pure marketing, and this can be derived from the names chosen for the various variants. When we look at the names chosen for the dominant variants, a story emerges:

1. Delta was the first major variant. The letter is used in mathematics to mean change.
2. Omicron was the next major variant. The letter is an anagram for moronic.

Of all the Greek letters available to us, these were the two letters chosen by the people in charge. Now that we've run out of Greek letters, we're getting variants with names of Greek gods.

The variant expected to be dominant through this coming winter is Eris, goddess of chaos, strife and discord.

So, what exactly are the people in charge telling us? Do they expect that we will change, act moronic and engage in chaos, strife and discord? If so, our best response will be to do the exact opposite. We're not going to change our lives at their behest. We're not going to do stupid things to our own detriment. We're not going to engage in chaos, strife and discord.

What we should do, regardless of whether the above conspiracy theory is true, is to be measured and reasonable.
