You bet I am, you know what the serpent represents in the Bible. You think a logo with a snake looking over the globe refers to something good?

Speaking of logos by the way... I used to casually look at this and think it was an angel of some sort. But on closer inspection I can't tell what it is.



Care to share?

It's a very common medical image, comes from the time of Moses



IMO there's nothing sinister about the WHO logo but I don't trust the underlying organization.

Okay okay... yeah I forgot about the snake on the bronze pole thing from Sunday school, has to look it up. I stand corrected. First time I've been wrong in the bottom half of the hour though!

Okay Zhyla, you were correct on the Biblical reference.

I always thought that but just went to look up a reference to post here and... uh... it's not true?

Turns out I'm wrong. I also heard it from the pulpit but that appears to be misinformation. Too bad!

Numbers 21:8 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.

I was just unaware that had anything to do with the medical snake thing? So it doesn't... Now I'm really confused!

Okay also found this...

So maybe I WAS right? Ha! I can't wait to tell my GF. Okay zhyla, now I say the logo is evil again, whew! Good stuff guys, fun discussion.

For the bonus boring trivia factoid the double Caduceus is the symbol

for veterinary medicine as the single is for medicine.

LOL!

So yes the Moses reference is totally true.

But since it's the UN, they've likely picked up the pagan version

We've got time for boring evil logo trivia and stuff, my biz is dead.

Intentional or reckless spread of AIDS is a crime.
Doing same for Wuhan virus might put the fear into idiots who are otherwise lax or no smarter than a loaf of bread.
No need for contact tracing.

We can start by establishing the Chinese communist government under such a crime.

Pretty sure the Democrats changed that law. Not illegal anymore, it stigmatized the gay community too much.

You know, like how calling the this disease anything with China or Chinese or Wuhan in it stigmatizes China, and we certainly don't want that.

(I'm not sure exactly how to illustrate the idiocy of policy based on political correctness, the above sarcasm falls short, but if the WHO had not ignored Taiwan and repeated Chicom propaganda they new was false for reasons of political correctness this pandemic would not be happening the way it is. First massive loss of life from SJW/political correctness, promoting people to positions of power for their opinions and not their skill and ability. Mr Tedros who currently heads the WHO is not a doctor or medical expert, he's a politician who got promoted up through the system specifically becasue of his politics, which to be honest, are Marxist politics. Scary to know that the CCP, Mr. Tedros and the Democrats all think the same about deadly diseases and that they can only be handled properly through the lens of political correctness. And people thought bridge collapses or ship collisions were the worst damage political correctness, a Marxist ideology, would get).
