  1. Realistically it’s so that people actually get the idea that it can infect humans rather than just monkeys, calling it monkeypox makes it sound like only monkeys can be infected which is obviously not the case

  2. So swine flu origininated in pigs, avain flu originated in birds, monkey pox originated in monkeys kept for medical trials. To say it is racist is ridiculous, to say so is racist in iteself!

  3. i hate how people worry like this… if "monkey"is racist then why? like black people and monkey's are different… also i am white and also get called vanilla by black people but the moment they say it its "fooling around"but if i jokingly call them chocolate its "racist?"…

  4. This is another reason why vetting and health certifications from illegal immigrants need to be done. This is serious. Most of these illegal invaders do not have any type of vaccinations whatsoever. This is highly dangerous to citizens be introduced into this whirlpool of health threats
