Have they been using it a lot? I've never heard it. But yes, it is retarded to combine a Greek ending with an English word, and one which doesn't even make any etymological sense.
All last winter the MSM was bleating about a tripledemic and they're starting back up now. What they really mean is there are several seasonal cold and virus strains that go around. But the word tripledemic conjures the not-yet-dead spirit of Fauci to scare people, and I'm sure they figure they can sell a few more boooooosters that way.
Tripledemic is such a stupid word. But once the low IQs have latched onto something they refuse to let go.
Just because people get sick does not make something a -demic.
"Omg, my toe! It's a stubdemic!"
