They should call it GayPox or FagPox. Something at least related.

We wouldn’t want monkeys to be offended...or their distant ancestors.

The monkeypox virus was originally identified in monkeys in 1958

And that's why it's called "monkeypox". These people are evil idiots.

The WHO are really concerned about hurting the monkeys’ feelings. Those little fellas get offended very easily.

Followed by the burning, looting and blaming the police.

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.
