I read today....some scientists came up at some meeting in recent days, and got into a discussion over Monkeypox.
So here's the thing....they want to rename Monkeypox because it sound discriminatory or stigmatizing.
I sat there and paused over this.
You could call it the 123-Fever, or ABOX-TITI-ME pox.
If you asked some 12-year old kid....he'd have five or six juvenile-sounding names for you.
But why stop there? Why not rename Covid as well?
AIDs? Rename it.
Yellow Fever? Rename it.
Plague? Rename it.
Ebola? Rename it.
There's probably sixty things that stigmatize me personally.....the Ford Pinto is on that list....as is the term 'freaky'.
