WHO renames monkeypox to 'mpox'

What is wrong with monkeypox? This is so absurd! I will continue to call this disease monkeypox! This is again an attempt by ideologues to manipulate language and history etc.!

"Monkeypox was first identified as a distinct illness in 1958 among laboratory monkeys in Copenhagen, Denmark." (Wikipedia)

Will somebody finally fire the head of the WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus!

"... When the outbreak of monkeypox expanded earlier this year, racist and stigmatizing language online, in other settings and in some communities was observed and reported to WHO. ..."
