Luckitty Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I just learned that the monkeypox doesn't even come from monkeys so why do we even call it monkeypox? why not humanpox or some other name? humans can't take responsibility for anything... we will never progress as humans if we keep shifting the blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Next Day Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Spoiler But seriously, monkeypox are natural to rodents. We already had/have "humanpox", namely smallpox. Humans didn't create both of them so Idk what else to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides all types of viruses/diseases/illnesses have weird names its really not that deep 1 minute ago, Mattyboy said: Imagine pretending to be offended at this..

The Next Day Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Luckitty said: well.. the World Health Organization agrees with me A group of biologists say that the term is biologically wrong and naming variants after countries is stigmatizing. That's true. It's just called monkeypox because it was first discovered in monkeys and it's easy to name variants with letters and numbers like we do with Sars-Cov-2.

Specter Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Lol some of y'all acting dumb; it's not about it being offensive to monkeys () but about the misguided harm humans can do to the animals thinking it comes from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
