California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Tomás Aragón did not give a specific reason for the change in a teleconference with reporters on Friday. The change comes as the World Health Organization has called for a new term for the virus to make it less stigmatizing and discriminatory.
The monket rights groups are pissed off that monkeys are being associated with gays. It brings back racial trauma from when the gays raped a monkey and caught HIV.

MonkeyPox & AIDS are prime examples of animal to human transference. For instance, Syphilis transferred from sheep to humans by dudes sticking their dicks into ewes. However, I'm still thinking bat to human Covid is bullshit. Fauci has the answer to that.
DeleteI have yet to see where anyone advocating for this name change has articulated exactly how the current name is stigmatizing or discriminatory.
ReplyDeleteFrankly no monkey gives a toss what the pic is called, as long as you don't call it late to dinner.

Many years ago I worked with a chap who had taught for a long time in East Africa' One day, when discussing the changes in his time there, with an expression of disbelief in his voice, he said - in all seriousness - "you can't call them monkeys any more" . . .
ReplyDeleteName change? Ok. Schlong COVID. Butt Flu. Hershey Herpes.
ReplyDeleteCue the legitimate outrage from every company, using MPX in their title and products, not wishing to be associated with degenerates and butt-sex.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia is so fucked up.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they just give it a number, so we will know how far along they are controlling people
Just put it down as reason #70,463 how Kookifornia is FKN stupid. It’s a goddamn STD. You could call it “Sunflower” if you want - it still means Don’t Fuck/Blow Random Men.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just call it what it really is? Pooftah Pox.
ReplyDeleteBad news for people traveling to Milan's Malpensa Airport (code MPX).
ReplyDeleteWe are told that "malpensa" translates to "swampy place" -- but in crude hedge Italian it's also evil idea, or bad think. The jokes just write themselves, don't they.
These people are nuts, do they really think monkeys are stigmatized by this?
