“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.

demoncrats have taken a poll and found that 77% of all monkeys find the term insulting.

I just wish they had had the nerve to name the recent Covid strain "Xi" instead of "Omicron", when Xi's turn in the Greek alphabet came up.
In fact, the WHO admitted that they skipped "Nu" to forestall confusion, which makes sense (in the future, you don't want to be stuck talking about what sounds like the "new" strain), and Xi, because it's a common name! Of course, they didn't mention the most famous person with the name Xi.

Being the blatant, unapologetic racists they are, when a member of the Democrat/Communist/Left cult hears "monkey" or "ape" or even "guerilla"(ha!), without hesitation they think "black person". Tough to be any more racist than that!
It's MONKEYpox you racist ignoramuses ... it's not NEGROpox you fools! Get it?!

Monkeys only live in Africa now?
Damn, I have a bone to pick with several of my teachers from the 1950s, cause they said monkeys are indigenous all around the globe. Especially near the equator.
Well, Son of a Jill.

Discriminates against who? Monkeys? So, that’s what (so-called) scientists think of certain people, I guess.
IIRC, it was a conclave of queers in Europe that got it started spreading!

I saw that coming several months ago. I’m wondering why the insanity didn’t happen sooner.

“Monkeypox” was OK as the name until the monkeys started to complain.
