    Monkeypox

    Name Change
    Moving forward, the Health Department will refer to the virus as MPV. The previous name is an inaccurate and stigmatizing label for a virus that is primarily affecting a community that has already suffered a long history of bigotry. Stigma is a shadow affliction that can follow viruses and drive people away from care, even when the illness itself is treatable. The Department requested the World Health Organization change the name, and continues to urge global health authorities to make this modification universal. However, the equity considerations are too great to wait any longer.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Idiots.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        So many humorous targets.

          I find your comment stigmatizing and bigoted.

          Not to mention violence-inducing.

                @LuFins-Dad I was assured by Black Lives Matter, that “silence is violence.”
