WHO renames monkeypox as 'mpox'

to avoid discrimination and stigma that could steer people away from testing and vaccination.

In August, WHO encouraged people to propose new names for monkeypox by submitting suggestions to it website. WHO said Monday that the consultation process included experts from medical, scientific, classification and statistics advisory committees "which constituted of representatives from government authorities of 45 different countries."

"The issue of the use of the new name in different languages was extensively discussed. The preferred term mpox can be used in other languages," WHO said in its statement. WHO said Monday that "monkeypox" will remain searchable in the International Classification of Diseases in order to allow access to historic information, and the one-year period when both will be used allows time for publications and communications to be updated.

What does the m stand for?

The WHO is unelected and not accountable to anyone, therefore, by definition they are a Terrorist Organization just like the Taliban and WEF, think about it

But what are it’s pronouns? 🤡 🌎

Anal Pox

Took 3 months to rename it and everyone but the demons are past that. But if you want pox...here's a pox...
