WHO Skips ‘Xi’ in Greek Alphabet for Naming Coronavirus Variants ‘to Avoid Stigma’
breitbart ^ | 27 Nov 2021 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 11/28/2021 6:25:00 AM PST by MarvinStinson

When naming the latest coronavirus variant, the World Health Organization (WHO) skipped the fourteenth letter of the Greek alphabet that just-so-happens to have the same spelling of a certain tyrannical world leader’s name.

On Friday, news broke that scientists and world leaders have grown increasingly concerned about the “Omicron” variant, prompting New York to call a state of emergency and the U.K. to restrict travel from several African countries. Given that the variant names jumped from “Mu” all the way to “Omicron,” skipping “Nu” and “Xi” respe

According to WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris, the organization skipped the letter Nu so that people would not confuse the variant with the word “new” and skipped the letter Xi to avoid stigmatizing people who may have that surname. The statement said:

It went from mu to mmicron – jumping both nu and Xi. Nu the reasoning was people would get confused thinking it was the New variant rather than a name and Xi because it’s a common surname and we have agreed naming rules that avoid using place names, people’s names, animal, etc., to avoid stigma.

The Who’s excuse to avoid common surnames does not wash when considering that the name “Mu” is actually a common Chinese surname.

My China Roots noted:

The WHO has been placating China since the beginning of the pandemic by either failing to hold them accountable for unleashing the virus on the world or outright covering for the Communist country. As Der Spiegel reported in May of last year, German intelligence strongly believed that Xi Jinping personally asked the head of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to delay key warnings about the Chinese coronavirus.

Xi’s conversation with the WHO allegedly took place in January 2020; Tedros did not declare a pandemic until March 11 of that year.

WHO avoids the coincidence manifest by Divine Providence.

No greater proof exists at this time, that China created this virus and spread it to Italy via air travel while locking WuHan down from domestic travel.......which should be treated as an act of war.

We should be ejecting EVERY Red Chinese citizen from America. ALL OF THEM.Terminate every visa and chuck them onto a large boat that leaks.Send them back.

And the Chinese Americans and pemanant residents left behind? They should be treated the way Garland treats parents who show up to speak at School Board meetings for a year or two.Too many of them support their Red China cousins and the commmie Dem Party.

The WHO is a Chinese puppet organization. Xi (the person, not the variant) says “jump” and the WHO asks “how high”.

They can take their “omicron variant” and stick it up their ass. Never bought in and never will.

My fraturnity forced all members to learn how to recite the Greek alphabet. Skipping the beginning we get to Mew, New, Zeye, Ohm-ma-cron, pi.

In China the “X” is pronounced “sh”, thus Xi is pronounced “She”.

In the Greek alaphabet Xi is pronounced Zeye.

The dictator’s name is pronounced “Chi” while the Greek letter Xi is pronounced Ksi.

You are thinking of the third-to-the-last letter of the Greek alphabet.
