Monkey Pox

The World Health Organization renamed the disease in 2022 to follow modern guidelines for naming illnesses. Those guidelines recommend that disease names should avoid offending cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups and minimize unnecessary negative effects on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare. The virus that causes it still has its historic name, however.

What a bunch of bullshit. Monkey Pox. Chicken Pox.  Small pox. Big pox. Wuhan virus. China virus. Lymes disease.  West Nile virus. Bird flu.
