Scoop: A long-awaited report by the US intel community concludes ‘Havana Syndrome’ was not caused by an energy weapon or foreign adversary, shattering a widespread theory that a secret device debilitated scores of spies & diplomats.

A made-up name? WHO created the name because "Wuhan virus" was catching on and demonyms for viruses are common, like Marburg virus or Spanish flu.
Ostensibly it was to avoid offending China, because otherwise China might withdraw its funding for WHO. They didn't say that the US paid 10x what China did.
You mean avoid creating a racist frothing mob of anti-Asian hate crime committing morons? I think that’s a pretty smart idea, using the scientific name is much more accurate than the name of the place the virus was first noticed to be spreading.
Thankfully we’ve learned some things about appropriate naming since your examples which were named 50-100 years ago….
What the fuck is an “artificial” name? Do you not understand how language works? Or acronyms?

"Havana syndrome"
Yes, a bad name, purposefully used to justify US economic attacks on Cuba since Havana syndrome began being discussed. Duh. Not good.
Yes. Liberals are hypocrites. What exactly is your point? They’re both bad names
Wait, which name did the WHO create?
