“We welcome the change by the World Health Organization. We must do all we can to break down barriers to public health, and reducing stigma associated with disease is one critical step in our work to end mpox,” said U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
The WHO is the international body responsible for naming diseases. Leaders in the U.S. have been engaging with stakeholders on a regular basis regarding our shared concerns and have been in close communication with counterparts at the WHO expressing support of an urgent process to change the name and propose a way forward with a new name.
In response to today’s action by the WHO, federal public health agencies will adopt the mpox name in correspondence with the medical community and American public from this point forward. This change from the WHO can help enhance the U.S.
Human monkeypox was given its name in 1970, before the publication of WHO’s best practices in naming diseases was published in 2015. According to the WHO’s best practices, new disease names should be given with the aim to minimize unnecessary negative impact of names on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare, and avoid causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.
WHO The M's would like to have a word...
WHO Not worried about Monkey Pox, BUT the disease that's really killing America, DONKEYPOX
WHO I was just on my roof. I was informed my shingles are offended. They demand you change the name of the Shingles virus and vaccine immediately! Don't even get me started on what the birds had to say about the stigma about the Bird Flu. Clearly racist and not woke enough. Fix it!
WHO Who was offended? Monkeys? What’s next, renaming chicken pox? Why isn’t anyone concerned about chickens?
WHO My (real) name starts with an M and I feel very stigmatized by this.
WHO

WHO It’s almost as if you’re doing this on purpose.
WHO So ridiculous 2 imply renaming an “illness”2 another name stops stigma! Please 🙄 Corona virus was changed to Covid-19 & then 2 just Covid. A coronavirus is a very common cold &/or flu..that name wasn’t generating enough FEAR.. Here we go again-mpox is meant 2 create media hype🙄
WHO The jokes running this department make significant progress on making government even more laughable. We appreciate you tackling the real tough problems.

WHO We got more important things to worry about than the feelings of fragile babies. This is a joke
WHO Any stigma has been based on the demographic that has most often contracted monkeypox, not the name. This makes things worse than if you just kept the name and ignored the people who actually think it was named for a race of people.
WHO Let’s ignore the exponential increases in obesity, anxiety, depression, and loneliness and focus on what really matters…..Mpox
WHO You are ridiculous and un American
WHO Now rename Zika Virus, MERS, Swine flu, Bird flu, and any other illness that was named after where it originated from...please stop wasting my hard earned tax dollars
