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.

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.
