Biden Harris Administration Absurdly Supports The World Health Organization Renaming Of Monkeypox To MPOX "To Reduce Stigma"
Is the urgent process to change the name of the Monkeypox disease really necessary? How much wasted time, resources and energy went into this?
Apparently HHS and WHO is concerned about monkeys being highly sensitive to “stigma”.
Stop saying monkeypox! You are embarrassing the monkeys. Every time they hear it they cringe, because they know the words and meanings are to stigmatize them.
This is not satire!:
HHS RELEASED THE FOLLOWING ABSURD PRESS RELEASE ON:
November 28, 2022.

Biden/Harris Administration (USA) Supports the World Health Organization Renaming of Monkeypox to MPOX
Today [November 28], the Biden Harris Administration offered support for the World Health Organization (WHO) announcement that it is renaming monkeypox disease to mpox.
“We welcome the change by the World Health Organization. We must do all we can to break down barriers to public health, and reducing stigma associated with disease is one critical step in our work to end mpox,” said U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra.
The WHO is the international body responsible for naming diseases. Leaders in the U.S. have been engaging with stakeholders on a regular basis regarding our shared concerns and have been in close communication with counterparts at the WHO expressing support of an urgent process to change the name and propose a way forward with a new name.
In response to today’s action by the WHO [November 28, 2022], federal public health agencies will adopt the mpox name in correspondence with the medical community and American public from this point forward.
This change from the WHO can help enhance the U.S. response to mpox by using a term that does not conjure bias or stigma and will aid efforts to reach the most impacted communities with a term for the disease that doesn’t act to marginalize individuals from accessing the care, resources, and support they need to protect themselves and others.
Human monkeypox was given its name in 1970, before the publication of WHO’s best practices in naming diseases was published in 2015. According to the WHO’s best practices, new disease names should be given with the aim to minimize unnecessary negative impact of names on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare, and avoid causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.
This just in....they contacted the Hanson Brothers and it will be now called the MMMBop.
These people are idiots, and they are evil. They're not changing the name because of worries about stigma. Do you really think monkeys -- or anyone else -- will be offended by the name Monkey pox? They're changing the name because MPOX is much scarier sounding than Monkey pox. If they can induce fear, they can get people to take their poison drugs. Not a whole lot of people were afraid of the Wuhan flu. But a bunch of people are afraid of Covid-19, and they were able to get people to take their clot shots. And, I'm pretty sure the CCP ordered them to change the name.
These people are communists. Communism a death cult. Nothing these people do is for the benefit of anyone but them. They do it for power and money. Things haven't changed much in the last 3,500 years.
