Oh, excuse me- Mpox. United Primates International sued to get their name taken off this con job, so now it's Mpox. It goes by other, more colorful and descriptive names, too.

Why ain't we all dead of it? It's a sorry pandemic, I tell you.

Didn't want to offend the gay population. So, the chapter is closed. On to the next scamdemic!

Got this Yahoo notification on monkeypox the other day from Yahoo. It's the Prince of pox viruses.



Apparently it's now being referred to as Mpox since "Monkeypox" is racist. "Formerly known as Monkeypox." These people keep getting more ridiculous.

I read a discussion in a Seattle subreddit a few months back and there was a... very liberal lady absolutely tearing the gay population apart for it. She firmly stated repeatedly that she was probably further left than all of them and that she wasn't about to change anything in her life, and sure as hell not get vaccinated "for a gay man's disease I'm not going to get." There was something about the government having enough say over her body, and some really weak arguments from the gay dudes, and then some absolute savaging from her. It really was something to behold. The cognitive dissonance, the will to march to the same beat being thrown off rhythm with this lady's booming kettle drum. Glorious to watch them have at each other.

All those comments got removed.

Essentially it quickly become obvious what it was: A gay man's STD, and so the left buried it. Hard to get everyone who doesn't have gay or bi sex terrified about something they're not going to get.

So how is the term “Monkeypox” racist? I know I’m gonna throw up a little in my mouth when I hear the explanation……JSMH.

I believe their threats included something about going all 'Planet of the Apes' on everybody if they didn't change the name... Razz

I think it was mostly just made up, and you only got it if you watch the news.

This guy decided to catch everything all at once so we don't have to:

Italian Man Diagnosed With COVID, Monkeypox, HIV at Same Time

A 36 year old man in Italy appears to be the world’s first documented case of being diagnosed with COVID-19, monkeypox, and HIV at the same time according to a recent case report published in the Journal of Infection.
