Guess why.  Not because it infects mostly homo's, oh no, it's because the name is Racist!   9999hair out0000

The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to change the name of the monkeypox virus to "MPOX."

The change in nomenclature is an attempt to destigmatize the virus at the behest of President Biden's administration, according to a report from Politico that cited three anonymous sources with knowledge of the matter.
Sources said that senior Biden officials have consistently urged the WHO to make the name change and have threatened to adopt new terminology without WHO's approval.

According to the report, Biden administration believes that the name "monkeypox" carries an unnecessary stigma for people of color.

GtHawk:
At least call it APOX or BPOX to acknowledge where the threat of transmission comes from. How many HETEROSEXUALS exactly had to get the vaccine compare to the Buttcowboys and @ssbangers?
