Psychopathia Sexualis
Richard von Krafft-Ebing

From bi- + -sexual, via the French bisexuel (bi- + sexuel). Attested since 1792 as a synonym in botany for "hermaphroditic" ("having male and female parts"). First used of sexuality in Richard von Krafft-Ebing's 1886 Psychopathia Sexualis (in German) and Charles Gilbert Chaddock's 1892 English translation thereof, due to the theory that people were naturally attracted to the opposite sex and so the brain or mind of a person attracted to "both" sexes (or to the same sex) must be partly of another sex and thus "hermaphroditic".

Ik verbaas me over de woede over ‘viruswappies’.

2020 December 16, Sjors van Beek, “Column: Een zwabberende overheid mag best worden bekritiseerd, ook door ‘viruswappies’”, in De Limburger:

I'm surprised by the anger towards ‘covidcrackpots’.

Ik ben er namelijk voor anderen ook één, zo’n viruswappie […] Nog los van het vermeende gedachtengoed van deze mensen, als aanhanger van Qanon, Flat Earth Society, antivaxing en het ageren tegen bizarre dingen als pedofiele satanisten, ben je als viruswappie een zeldzaam asociaal wezen gekarakteriseerd door een stuitend gebrek aan solidariteit en empathie.

2020 December 16, Robert Kersbergen, “Viruswappie”, in Metro:

Because I'm also one for others, such a covidcrackpot […] Even besides the alleged belief system of these people, like an adherent of the QAnon, Flat Earth Society, antivaxxing and the campaigning against bizarre things like pedophilic satanists, as a covidcrackpot you're a rare antisocial creature charactarised by a shocking lack of solidarity and empathy.

Tenzij je een covidioot of een viruswappie bent.

2020 December 21, Ludo Permentier, “Knuffel”, in De Standaard:

Unless you're a covidiot or a covidcrackpot.
