Less than six months ago, mpox was an exploding health crisis. What had been an obscure disease from Africa was ripping through European and U.S. gay communities. Precious doses of an unproven vaccine were in short supply. International officials declared health emergencies.

Today, reports of new cases are down to a trickle in the U.S. Health officials are shutting down emergency mobilizations. The threat seems to have virtually disappeared from the public consciousness.

You know, for a demographic with a supposed tendency for weakened immune systems they don’t seem to be dropping dead much from these plagues, do they?

Mpox is the word the Woke use instead of monkey pox because the reference to the word "monkey" might sound like a racist insult to ghetto thugs.

My question is, would any normal (i.e., sentient) person make the connection between a cute little chimp and a ghetto thug?

Doesn't that mean that the only ones who are racist are those who created the term "Mpox"?
