I prefer the old name because it balanced all races. If you can catch it, you’re a monkey. If you can’t, you’re a higher life form deserving of respect and admiration.

Lol the greatest sin of our age is racism. It's murder, deceit, theft or rape. We can no longer have disease names like Spanish flu, German measles, West Nile virus, etc.

I hope they will also be renaming Ebola virus and Lassa Fever

Change the mindset of the Neanderthal offsprings instead. Pig skin people keep acting like the animal they are.
Re: WHO Renames Monkeypox Disease As "Mpox" Because Of Racism by Nobody: 6:04pm On Nov 28, 2022
There was never argument of racism about calling a disease that originated from Monkeys, Monkey Pox until now. You changed it to Mpox apparently because 'Monkey' carries racist connotation? So which race is Monkey if I may ask?
Hope Africans can see that these whites aren't even seeing us as just blacks but looking at us as monkeys and so a 'Monkey'Pox' disease shall be be renamed to take away racism. Well, the truth is, if I am a whiteman, I would believe nothing but real monkeys are Nigerians, a country blessed with so many resources yet no electricity, bad roads, lockdown university education, plenty soldiers yet no security, animals in human skins keeping stolen money so much they are turning bad and getting wasted and millions are wallowing in penury. In fact, we are not upto animal standard yet because if a way is open for easy exit, I swear over 80% of families will leave Nigeria today. I've concluded that here is the hell they are talking about. If not we have crude oil and marketters of petroleum don't even wait for government pronouncement before increasing pump price of fuels again. In order word, our so called government only exists in name because no functional agent to monitor and regulate fuel prices. I'm using this moment to seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah for my sins that condemned me into this country without a way out even at the moment.

Too little too late. When the China virus struck, they were quick to tag it as covid to prevent discrimination. A pity that the same consideration is never given when the same happens in Africa.
