New York health commissioner demands WHO rename 'racist' monkeypox. Vasan states that the continued use of the term "monkeypox" would reignite "traumatic feelings of racism and stigma" for "Black people and other people of color, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ communities." Just call it gaypox.

When I hear Monkeypox, I don't hear niggerpox, so who's the fucking racist here?

It is pronounced Moneypox. The K is silent.

State overran with disease, too worried about what the name of the disease is. It seems things never change.

as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ communities

I know they throw this in here to further virtue signal and attempt to garner sympathy, but I'd really like to hear an explanation from them as to how in the hell "monkeypox" could possibly "reignite 'traumatic feelings of racism and stigma'" specifically for members of the LGBTQIA+ communities.

My favorite is faggotpox. I wouldn't call it gaypox because there are non-degenerate gays out there who aren't getting it. Faggots are the ones spreading it at the 50 man anonymous orgies.
