Racist monkeypox flagged for a rebrand - phew, thank you WHO

If you want everyone to take the virus of the week seriously, maybe don’t name it after a charming little critter known for appearing in circus acts and the like. Also, make sure you haven’t named it after something that could be perceived as racist. That must be why monkeypox doesn’t seem to be spreading panic like wildfire through the fear-porn outlets.

Have no fear, the WHO is here for the rebrand!

Whoever named the virus and brought it to the public clearly wasn’t thinking like a racist.

Monkeypox has been nonoffensive for years though, proving that science – and the list of acceptable terminologies – is never settled.

It only takes a few to express concern, or actually be offended, to up and cancel anything.

Sorry monkeypox, but we were tired of hearing about you already, to be honest.

An official cancellation does present a great opportunity to suggest new names for the virus.

Try to keep it ominous, yet non-offensive.

Graphic descriptions actually can be offensive, or gag-inducing anyway.

Can AI take the stigma though? How about political nominations? Those are always welcome.

Don’t actually waste too much time trying to come up with the perfect new moniker. The WHO already has a placeholder that wouldn’t offend a soul, at least none that have been identified at the time of publishing this piece.

It would be pretty lame if the world ended over something with a dull name like hMPXV. We simply can’t go around offending Monkeys with the stigma of a virus though.

Just do what you can to steer clear of the virus until it has a name that you aren’t ashamed to be associated with and that society would be comfortable listing on your death certificate.
