“In the context of the current global outbreak, continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing,” the group of scientists amidst the ongoing outbreak.
“We therefore believe that a nomenclature that is neutral, non-discriminatory and non-stigmitizing [sic] will be more appropriate for the global health community,” continues the paper before proposing “hMPXV” as a placeholder.

“Looks like he has a bad case of hMPXV.”
“What the heck is that?”
“Monkeypox.”
“Oh, OK, why the heck didn’t you just say so?”

Sure.
Then we can change “Chicken Pox” because it makes fun of cowardly scaredy-cats.
And “Small Pox” because it ridicules short people.
And “Chamois virus” because it makes fun of people who buff their cars with chamois.
And “Cowpox” because people who eat hamburger and steak are uncomfortable with that name.
And “Squirrel parapoxvirus” because all the people who like the furry little rodents with big bushy tails are offended.
And “Reindeer virus” because who doesn’t like Santa Claus?

How about “Not Monkeypox And Has Nothing To Do With Gays” pox.
Abbreviated, NMAHNTDWG pox.
Why do I always have to think of everything?

“Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name ‘monkeypox.”

occurred in colonies of monkeys.......I don’t see the big frickin’ deal here.

It sounds like “scientists” don’t have a hell of a lot to do these days. Imagine how stigmatized Col. Sanders must have been all those years we were running around claiming to have the chicken pox. That was discriminatory as hell.

Since 2017, Nigeria has had the largest outbreak of monkey-pox. Why don’t we call it the Nigeria-pox?
