I quote:
BA.2 is considered a sub-lineage of original Omicron (which is now referred to as Omicron BA.1), however these two genetic variants seem to have diverged months BEFORE Omicron actually appeared.
BA.2 has 28 more mutations, than Omicron, with no intermediate variants seen between them.
This is certainly a genetic oddity, just as Omicron is a genetic oddity with the ancestor that disappeared 1.5 years before Omicron appeared. Both of these oddities raise a possibility that both Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 do not have a natural origin. I said that Omicron (now known as BA.1) may be lab-made on December 2.
The idea is that someone took the original covid virus about 1.5 years ago and worked on it in a lab to create a highly contagious but very mild version of the disease--a self-spreading vaccine--and then released it into the wild. The BA.2 variant is an even more successful form of the self-spreading vaccine.
