Anonymous Coward User ID: 77958172 Romania 08/13/2022 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NYC asks WHO to rename monkeypox to avoid stigmatization NYC health commissioner Ashwin Vasan pointed to "the painful and racist history" which the terminology evoked "for communities of color" in a letter to WHO. [link to www.dw.com (secure)] All the People of Color (Black, Brown, Yellow) are mutually embarrassed whenever a COLORED DISEASE pops up! BLACK origin diseases - Ebola, HIV, Monkeypox YELLOW origin diseases - Hong Kong flu, Asian flu, SARS, Covid BROWN origin diseases - MERS, Taco-bell diarrhea. Biden's already banned the term "China virus" and implemented a special hate-crimes bill to prevent the Yellow Asians being offended. Biden signs COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act to combat rise in anti-Asian hate BUT you cannot sweep all these Colored origin diseases under the carpet for ever. Sooner or later you'll be overwhelmed and swamped by them |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83899610 United States 08/13/2022 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ‘The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced new names for variants of the monkeypox virus that are currently in circulation. This is to avoid causing any cultural or social offence, the WHO said in a statement. Quoting: A Deplorable Neanderthal A group of global experts convened by the WHO decided on the new names, Xinhua news agency reported. Experts will now refer to the former Congo Basin clade (group of variants) in Central Africa as Clade I, and the former West African clade as Clade II. The latter consists of two sub-clades, Clade IIa and Clade IIb, of which Clade IIb was the main group of variants circulating during the 2022 outbreak. The global health agency added that the new names for the clades should be used immediately.’ [link to www.business-standard.com (secure)] Well if monkeypox is so offensive why not something more specific like buttrider boils or fudgepackers rash? Just sayin... |
