The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has written a letter to the World Health Organization asking it to change the name of the disease “monkeypox” because it “stigmatizes” gay men. The department may have a point. A recent New England Journal of Medicine paper concluded that 95% of monkeypox transmissions occurred “during sex between men.”
Shouldn’t the New York City health department concentrate on stopping the spread of this disease instead of worrying whether the name of the disease might offend some easily-offended group?

Monkeypox reminds me of the British breakfast dish, Spotted Dick.

I guess I’m really prejudiced because I thought “monkey pox” only stigmatized POC’s on the “down-low.”
Disease etiology be damned, LOL
To: C19fan
Hurray! The new name to be called “faggotpox “.

Actually, I think being gay is what stigmatizes gay people.

Tucker Carlson had a poll asking viewers to propose a new name for the monkeypox. I don’t know if I can repeat the leading choice, but it’s a Yiddish word that rhymes with “long” followed by the word “Covid,” mimicking “long Covid.”

Tucker Carlson, commenting off of this news last night, claimed to present a poll they took for suggestions for renaming Monkeypox, and then claimed the winner was “Schlongpox”.

Stereotypes are models of the truth. Where do they even come from?

"Shlong Covid" is the new name selected by Tucker's viewers. Actually selected by SOME OF Tucker's viewers. Choices had to be tweeted to him on Twitter. Eliminated a lot of us.
