Check this out, Wharfie. Another woke doctor in New York City want the WHO to rename monkeypox:

NYC asks WHO to rename monkeypox due to stigma (yahoo.com)
Therefore, I write to urge you to act immediately on renaming the ‘monkeypox’ virus as the WHO stated they would do during a June 14th press briefing, over [five] weeks ago. NYC joins many public health experts and community leaders who have expressed their serious concern about continuing to exclusively use the term ‘monkeypox’ given the stigma it may engender, and the painful and racist history within which terminology like this is rooted for communities of color.
I have no idea why the wokies think the name "monkeypox" is "racist." It was a name coined in the 1950's, and only because it was first discovered in monkeys. Yes, it was first discovered in Africa, but the disease isn't even named after anything specific to Africa, unlike the Spanish flu or what some are calling the "Wuhan virus."

Of course, we can always rely on the wokies to turn everything into an issue of race.
