  • The Monkeypox Virus Is Now Just 'MPox,' Because Racism

    The World Health Organization on Monday announced that after nearly five
    months of deliberation, it has changed the name of the monkeypox virus.
    The new name is "mpox."

    A group of scientists in June said the word "monkeypox" is "discriminatory
    and stigmatizing," leading WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
    to say the organization would rename the virus "as soon as possible."

    "As soon as possible" took until Monday, when the WHO said it recommends
    the term "mpox" instead, claiming that using "monkeypox" led to "racist
    and stigmatizing language." It also recommends a "transition period of one year" to phase out the word "monkeypox."

    The Biden administration reportedly pressured the WHO behind closed doors
    to change the name, with Politico reporting the White House worried that
    "the virus's name was deepening stigma."

    This is not the first time the WHO has expressed left-wing views. Tedros,
    who formerly served as an Ethiopian cabinet minister for a communist
    political party, covered up for Communist China in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

    The WHO is not alone in thinking the word "monkeypox" is discriminatory.
    The New York City Department of Health said the word may be "painful and racist" for "communities of color." The department did not mention that
    the virus got its name because scientists first "observed the pox-like
    disease in an African monkey colony," as the Free Beacon reported in June.

    So when we talk of the cpox will that be the camelpox, chickenpox or the cowpox?

    though I'm am curious.. what exactly is racist about the name monkeypox?

    Why Is MPXV Usually Called �Monkeypox�?
    MPXV was first discovered in 1958 in monkeys that were being used for
    research, and the name stuck.

    �This is despite the fact that it�s thought to be found primarily in
    rodents, not monkeys,� Roan says.

    The term �monkeypox� could reinforce offensive stereotypes about
    Africa and perpetuate racism.

    THAT�S WHY GLADSTONE IS USING �MPXV� INSTEAD.

    Some have called for the World Health Organization (WHO) and other organizations to stop referring to the disease as �monkeypox.� This
    would avoid suggesting that monkeys are the main source of the
    disease.

    In addition, critics note, the term �monkeypox� could reinforce
    offensive stereotypes about Africa and perpetuate racism�and increase
    shame and stigmatization that could prevent people from seeking care.

    So, I guess if you have monkeypox, it somehow suggests you were
    intimate with an African? And intimacy with Africans is bad?

    No, wait, that's racist.

    Because we consider monkeys to be a race?

    No, that can't be it.

    Because when Democrats think of monkeys they think of Africans?

    I think we're getting somewhere now.......

    Meanwhile we'll call it MPXV and if anyone asks what the "M" stands
    for, why, we just won't tell them.

    "We do not have any problems with soldiers leaving combat positions,"
    the Kremlin leader continued to falsely claim. "In a situation when
    there is shelling or bombs falling, all normal people cannot help but
    react to it, even on the physiological level. But after a certain
    adaptation period, our men fight brilliantly, running in the opposite
    direction to save themselves, usually leaving their equipment behind."
