Poxy McPoxface or TRUMP\u002D22: these some of the ideas sent in by the public to the World Health Organization as it seeks to rename monkeypox.

Often disease names are chosen behind closed doors by a technical committee, but the WHO has this time decided to open up the process to the public. After a slow start, dozens of submissions have now been made from a range of contributors including academics, doctors, and a gay community activist.Pressure is growing for a new name for the disease, in part because critics say it is misleading, since monkeys are not the original animal host.

“It’s very important we find a new name for monkeypox because this is best practice not to create any offence to an ethical group, a region, a country, an animal etc,” WHO spokesperson Fadela Chaib said on Tuesday. One of the more popular submissions so far is Mpox, submitted by Samuel Miriello, director of a men’s health organization RÉZO which is already using the name in its outreach campaigns in Montreal.

Another proposal, TRUMP-22, appeared to be refer to former U.S. President Donald Trump who used the controversial term “Chinese virus” for the new coronavirus, although its author said it stood for “Toxic Rash of Unrecognized Mysterious Provenance of 2022.”

Money Pox

Galloping Pustules.

For the most part it doesn’t appear worse than chicken pox and we all caught it got over it and went on to become grownups

WHO, which is part of the WEF Racket, wants the woke progressive larp public to name it's next personal freedom killer, and the worse part is the larps will happily do so

Smiley Blisters.

I vote for Poxy McPoxface

Call it 'WHOPOX'

I guess 'ass and mouth disease' was already taken?

We live in the stupidest time ever.

Please stop, we need to return to the way we used to treat illnesses and accept that sometimes we will get sick.

Oh this sounds like so much fun. I can’t wait for another pandemic.

African virus

how about bum-dart bumps?

Homopox

The WHO is ridiculous
