A-pox and U-pox, definitely out...........
Because any mention of monkeys, even in the context of involvement of actual monkeys, is a racist dog whistle.
So what happens now? Will the zoos rename the monkey cages to m-cages? Is “monkey” now a forbidden word, so that if you appear to be saying the word in any video you will be fired from your job, have your scholarship canceled, and be accused of a hate crime?
How far can this insanity go?
Don’t monkey around with that thought...................
That makes it all better.
This is indistinguishable from a Babylon Bee article.
Those great folks at Babylon Bee can’t compete with reality!................
To really be antiracist they should rename it “honkeypox”.
Did monkeys complain to the WHO?
racist, homophobic, mysogynistic, and anti-semetic.
There, covered all bases. But, the same is true of all words..
“Because ‘monkey’ is racist...this sh*t never stops”
As a side note Siddhartha Gautama’s (Buddha) commentary on crazed humans was captured by two words “monkey brained.”
The WHO can change the name of the [disease] but they cannot change the name of the [virus].
That’s under the jurisdiction of a totally different organization, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses: ICTV.
ICTV has NOT removed the Monkey part, and they probably WILL NOT.
