WHO Will Rename Monkeypox Virus to Minimize Stigma, Racism

- The World Health Organization will officially rename monkeypox, in light of concerns about stigma and racism surrounding the virus that has infected over 1,600 people in more than two dozen countries.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director general, announced Tuesday morning that the organization is “working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus, its clades and the disease it causes.” He said the WHO will make announcements about the new names as soon as possible.
More than 30 international scientists said last week that the monkeypox label is discriminatory and stigmatizing, and there’s an “urgent” need to rename it. The current name doesn’t fit with WHO guidelines that recommend avoiding geographic regions and animal names, a spokesperson said.

Pretty racist to hear the word monkey and immediately think of blacks.
😆 I know right. Keep the name, it fits perfectly
Have you heard the albino monkey?
@@snoopylayla9652 they're cute
@@kylerobinson8913 it came from Africa. Figure it out. 'Monkey' pox, 🤣
Pretty racist to think when they say racist they mean racist to black people when It could actually be referring to the race of monkeys
Soooooo, the WHO thinks black people are Monkeys or why is the name racist
Who said anything about black people? No one race was mentioned by name.
@@pogo9876 actually an article I read said it was racist because monkeypox is associated with South Africa so what is your conclusion?
@@luciawiltzius4734 but don’t it come from Monkeys and don’t that make Scientist who say we come from monkeys racist?
@@pogo9876 which group of Americans (it’s Americans because Americans love being offended about everything and influence everybody to think that everything is racist) do you think they were talking about? White people?
So, in a way, they are calling them... 😄
Maybe homopox would be a more accurate name
Pride pox
@@donnacabot3550 Gaypox,watercolorpox
I've got it!!!! Poop Sex Pox. PSP for short since everything needs an abbreviation
No negropox 😂
as a white man, i find the song 'white men cant jump' offensive. can you change it to 'yellow, black and white men cant jump'? thank you.
Red man for the win!
Imagine if it was black men can't jump
@@tiffa01 it'd be a lie. Like Hispanics can't climb fences. Fact is, they can. Quick too
What sort of comparison is that, such shallow minds
So your comparing white men not being able to jump to black people not even being human?
Can we rename Covid to BatFlu?
Right...I can never drink another Corona
My pet monkey was offended by the inconsiderate naming of this virus. I thought he was being stupid, so I punished him. I spanked my monkey.
You outta wring that little pecker's neck!
Well played , sir.
Well played.
And when you were done he was mad so he spit on you. 😂
Self love should not be equated with animal abuse.
WHO is racist. What race is it offensive too? Why? Only a racist would make the connection.
It's offensive to blacks because it's a primarily African virus and blacks-as-monkeys is a common racist trope for hundreds of years. Does someone really need to explain this to you?
Correct
Brothas and Shaniquas:
I never have that opinion toward the name until WHO started pointing it out. I believe people who keep associating certain things with racism are making it worse.
Talk about projection...Hears the word monkey and thinks about race. Perhaps y'all are the problem not the name?
Stop trying to kill us. You have no right to play god
Call it Pridepox, because its gonna skyrocket after pride week.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 On a separate note, I'm sick of globalist authoritarianism already
This is the real pandemic
@@jejeroy 🤣😂
Were the scientists monkeys? Asking for a friend.
Planet of the Apes maybe?
😂 😂
now here comes the fear machine; resist WHO
MONKEYS EVERYWHERE!!
UNITE ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahaha it's only racist if you make it racist
It was found in a monkey and the disease did come from the Congo so how is this discrimination.
LOL! Ain't nobody got time for this.
I got bronchitis!
Somebody got time. 🤣
He needs to take an english class before he renames anything…
The Who is just another CFR group . World bank imf for ONe world government
Lol what the fck is going on in the world?!
The global elite are trying to depopulate us
I know. Some morons are saying this is fake news. To those of you who have a proper education, fake news is a childish synonym of the word propaganda. 1600 cases should make one concerned as it's been doubling at a uncomfortable rate.
PS that's why there's so many of these kids it's the ones that had no groups so they fall in line easy because they're eager to be in a group
You should mention why the NTI did a scenario and it’s playing out exactly what they mentioned… 😳😳😳
Just like the wargame for a novel coronavirus…

Arrest fraudci and friends
FoulXi
Fasci the fraud
Just call it "bioweapon mk2".
Lets call it Faucipox
Why does the WHO think that "Monkeypox" is racist?
What race do they think it's racist against?
What group of people does the WHO associate with monkeys?
They don’t warn the gay community and now they don’t wanna offend anyone.
The pussification of our world is unfortunate
BIPOX is my suggestion.
Good Call. I heard Monkeys were extremely offended to be associated with the kind of people who spread Monkeypox.
They released it !!
Call it GatesPox !
My chimpanzee girlfriend finds the name 'Monkeypox' insulting!
(We've both tested positive. I don't know where we got it.)
My suggestion: bushbox ! :D :D :)
@@markusmuller6173 hahaha 😅
@@outlawbillionairez9780 Thanks :) ... also for supporting my breedbox proposal for the chickenpox in the other comment-thread ;) :D :)
@@markusmuller6173 keep it up ⚠️
You need to sit your girlfriend down and explain that as a chimp-She's not a monkey....
Rebranding the pox.
Lies lies lies
Call it Gatespox they released it
Absolutely pathetic
Oh wow he's offended. The WHO is the biggest joke.
They realized the name did not instill in the American people any fear. Fear is the goal. So I have no doubt that they have focus groups trying to figure out what sort of marketing campaign will cause the most fear and chaos going forward.
My suggestion: bushbox ! :D :D :)
It should be called pridepox🏳️🌈
What kind of organization are they?
A a woke fear marketing organization?
B a health organization?
If one really asks themselves the question, I think it would be pretty obvious.
Or to normalize it and. Get people to take it more serious so they can spread propaganda note taken got ya WHO
So are we going to change chickenpox now? Or how about swine flu?? Hope those years of stigmatized people from those get some financial reprieve. LMAO
Fkn ridiculous. Nothing else more pressing? Hate it when someone offends all the Zoo monkeys...
It's pretty sad that real news sounds like satire
Just rename it "Pride pox".
I‘m so glad we were able to solve this extremely urgent problem.
It’s just a word lmao 🤣🤡
Is suppose to be about treating illness not about protecting names and sensibilities.
How tf is the word monkey racist? It feels more like double racism to ban the word.
So this is the “urgent” issue. Not perhaps …STOPPING MONKEYPOX?
No thanks. I'll call COVID Kung Flu instead.
Monkeypox ain't scary enough 🤣
….I know what you mean but it’s just plain silly.. No one I know would compare the two. Monkeys are monkeys, always have been, always will be. People are people, always have been, always will be. I think I look like a bird. But I’m not a bird. People that change things around monkeys must see some people as monkeys which they are not.
Preach.
HIV crossed over from monkeys. Flu can cross over from birds. When it crosses over to humans a disease often is far more fatal. HIV does not kill monkeys but we know what it does in humans. Malaria is carried by mosquitoes between animals and the sting infects humans. Now that's not silly but it does sck.
HOW IS THIS NOT RACIST BRUH being woke is the most racist thing in the world
I prefer monkeypox over blackpox tbh
This world is becoming increasingly closer to being called Planet dumb. It is amazing that certain individuals hear the word monkey, and all of a sudden it pertains to blacks. So the World Health Organization believes every time you say monkey you are thinking of a black person.
Thinking this disease needed a new name for better marketing... it just wasn't catching on like the other one.
Teddy bear pox
I think the word "Small" Will also get offended.. Please change it to SPOX
As for a black man it's offensive to me cause racist sometimes call blacks monkeys and they do need to rename it could have been any other name but monkey
How about Honkey Pox. I have no problem with that.
Can we rename it “The Washington Redskins Pox”? No one is using that name anymore.
Chicken pox, swine flu and mad cow disease all send their regards.
Why change name, bruh people these days think monkeys and black people are somehow racially connected. Why do we think of racist things.
Monkeypox will be renamed NiggaPox under the Int'l Health Relations
Davos is finish now that monkey pox is not enough a scary name they need to create a more scary name cause they gonna play again with peoples fears
EXACTLY, don't want a scary virus to make you think of cute little monkeys, now do we?
They just called the director of the who a monkey, what does the good doctor have to say to that.
Monkeys are offended to be connected to humans
This is so stupid! That’s what it is, sorry.
This is nonsense. It’s called Monkey 🐒 Pox. Are we going to rename Monkeys ?
So WHO and Democrats are on the same page.
How tf is it racist.. It came from monkeys the monkeypox. No difference than the term M Pox.
It's discrimination to use English!
I think Apophis is gonna hit earth and the powers at be know this and we are all fucked
The K is silent? I don’t get the issue?
Bruhhh...there are bigger problems in the world rn
What are they going to change it to Covid-20???
People like monkeys… we need a scarier name!!!
How about 2022 pox? Lolz
People hate numbers. Lmao
That’s fine, but still give it a name to deter behavior that causes it. I don’t want to get it because someone is irresponsible.
Priorities. Of. Idiots.
I swear these people take we the people for idiots! It is amazing what is happening in the world today!
I said before and will say it again, where all of these diseases coming from all of a sudden! Something doesn't add up!
So should we rename monkeys?
I can’t wait until American has its own ……please don’t change our outbreak name …..we have pride
I'm pretty offended by chickenpox myself
What about chickenpox?
Has anyone told the chickens about this?
Meanwhile, people with the star sign Cancer…
You mean monkeypox doesn't come from monkeys 🐒? Isn't that why it's named that?
Since 1958 according to Wiki! & CDC! Strain ONLY found in West & Central African monkeys’ scratches. NOW the Culture-Thought-Police are TRYING to Red-Herring it away saying?’.. also found in Rats/ Rodents/ small animal Bites- ACTUALLY; called “ Rabies “.
Don’t cure it. Change the name.
Did the monkeys make a complaint?
Sin doesn't discriminate. I'm good. I'm staying to myself. It's easier to live right,than regret living wrong. I'm not better,I know better. God bless. Get saved, get real.What you choose is a big deal.🤔👍🙏
Damn..these people are racist.
WHY DONT YOU RENAME IT MARY POX ? 💏💀
Tedros recommended for genocide at the International criminal court by Steiman! against the Amhara,Konso,Oromo,Somali tribes!
Wow I had no idea Monkeys were a Race. So...If it's a Racist word, what race are the Monkeys?
So ridiculous.
Should have used the the letter G after pox . Tell it like it really is . This is just like H.I.V , now MPOX .
Humanpox
Which is exactly who the vaccine was made for 👁if u know the u know
What?
Have they decide on a different name or are they just gonna get other virus 🦠
Excelling at non sense and misinformation…
