WHO renames monkeypox as mpox

The World Health Organization announced on Monday that it is renaming monkeypox as mpox due to concerns that the original name could be perceived as racist or stigmatizing.

Driving the news: Both the monkeypox and mpox names will be used by WHO over the next year as the term "monkeypox" is gradually phased out, WHO said in a press release.

"When the outbreak of monkeypox expanded earlier this year, racist and stigmatizing language online, in other settings and in some communities was observed and reported to WHO," the press release stated. WHO began consulting with experts about potentially renaming the disease back in August, per AP. The big picture: While Monkeypox cases are more often found in Central and Western African countries, a monkeypox outbreak occurred in Europe and the U.S. in May this year.

The WHO declared monkeypox a global emergency in July, after the disease was detected in more than 70 countries. Last month WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said monkeypox had seen "a promising decline globally. The number of reported cases has dropped for eight straight weeks. This is very encouraging."

Say; they’re following California’s lead from back in August.

[Tell It Right]

Maybe they’re trying to make us think that the mPOX is caused by the mRNA jabs.

Anybody ask any black people if they thought they were monkeys?

This move implies they might OR those behind the change view them that way.

[Red in Blue PA]

So the m is still for monkey.

This may not be monkeypox.

We're trusting the same people who did this...

Holy merde...

The Safety of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines: Vigilance Is Still Required

...Since TFHs are key players in some T-cell malignancies and certain autoimmune diseases [11], one may wonder whether TFH hyperactivation induced by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines might influence the course of these disorders. Our recently published observation of the rapid progression of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) following a booster shot of the BNT162b2 vaccine suggests that this question needs to be considered [12]....

...to tell us this is monkeypox?!

On a cold day in Hades.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Or, as Homer Simpson would say “mmmmmmmPoxxxxx”.

[mewzilla]

We are ALL, regardless of skin color, just more of Fauci’s beagles to Deep State.

[fretzer]

Nah. I like the old name.
