If you want everyone to take the virus of the week seriously, maybe don’t name it after a charming little critter known for appearing in circus acts and the like. Also, make sure you haven’t named it after something that could be perceived as racist. That must be why monkeypox doesn’t seem to be spreading panic like wildfire through the fear-porn outlets.
Have no fear, the WHO is here for the rebrand!
Art TakingBack (@ArtValley818_) ~ BREAKING: WHO will rename monkeypox virus to combat racism and stigma
Not satire. 🤣🤣🤣
Whoever named the virus and brought it to the public clearly wasn’t thinking like a racist.
Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) ~ The only ones who are racist are the people who think “monkeypox” had anything to do with race.
The name is "racist"? Why ... was it named after Michelle Obama?
Monkeypox has been nonoffensive for years though, proving that science – and the list of acceptable terminologies – is never settled.
GreatAmericanMail (@mail_american) ~ WHO working on a new name for Monkeypox virus because current one is racist. Do you think the current name, which it has had for 64 years, is inappropriate?
It only takes a few to express concern, or actually be offended, to up and cancel anything.
Sorry monkeypox, but we were tired of hearing about you already, to be honest.
Siraj Hashmi (@SirajAHashmi) ~ Ladies & Gentlemen, I regret to inform you monkeypox is CANCELED.
An official cancellation does present a great opportunity to suggest new names for the virus.
Anna James Zeigler (@ajzeigler) ~ I vote for Midtermpox.
Well, that certainly is a scary name for Democrats, but I think the new name should be associated with the people who are actually spreading the disease ... therefore, I suggest "Fagpox."
