Who needs thawed ancient glacier viruses when we can just have constant mutations of current viruses!

Mpox is monkeypox, named after its spread by (among other animals) monkeys. It’s related to smallpox, but not to chickenpox.
Sharing my “research”, in case you need it too.
Mpox was monkeypox. They renamed it in an attempt to remove stigma.
What stigma?
Thanks for the article. I’m confused as to how “monkey” relates to homosexuality or transsexuality, but I think I’m better off not knowing.
It doesn’t. “Monkey” is used in common racist language against black people. That’s the racist aspect.
“Monkeypox” also became associated with the LGBT+ community after the most recent breakout in the USA. And Americans love hating the gays almost as much as they love being racist. So, there are (at least) two negative stigmas associated with “Monkeypox.” They attempted to alleviate this by changing the name to Mpox. (It arguably didn’t help much.)
