Round 2: Here's Monkey Pox (1 Viewer)

[superchuck500]

WHO just keeps lighting themselves on fire, then jumping in a gas tank, over and over.

Seriously if you want people to take the disease seriously, "monkeypox" sounds much scarier than "mpox". Seems counterproductive to me.

Sounds easy enough for humans but why should monkeys be forced to live as second-class citizens, stained by the stigma of this disease that has no more to do with them than a host of other species? If we don't force the WHO to be judicious and thoughtful about possible harm in the naming of pox, what's to stop them from naming the next one human pox? Maybe it won't be so easy then?
