UN expressing concerns on the reporting of the outbreak . Perhaps a rebrand would help as was done with Covid 19

Funny coincidence...
"The exercise scenario portrayed a deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus
that emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months. Ultimately, the exercise
scenario revealed that the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered
in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight. By the end of
the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities
worldwide"... "Participants included 19 senior leaders and experts from across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and
Europe with decades of combined experience in public health, biotechnology industry, international
security, and philanthropy."
In the excerise, done in 2021, the "attack" started in May 2022.

An interesting watch. The gist of which centres on the fact (the source paper is peer reviewed and widely available) that the Wuhan Institute of virology in China has been researching Monkeypox and has claimed that it cannot obtain a sample of the virus so has manufactured a synthetic version.
It is very easy to get hold of a Monkeypox sample so this is very suspicious. And rather disturbing.
Anyway, I like this chap, Dr. John Campbell. Very level headed and explains things well .
Here he is giving a 5 min explanation of Monkeypox;

You fool, you should always take a bunch of bananas for the lady.
Perhaps it would then

WHO to rename monkeypox virus to avoid discrimination
Urgent move to change name comes after scientists call it ‘inaccurate’ and ‘stigmatising’ as virus spreads

Covid 19 wasn’t rebranded. It is a strain of Coronavirus as is the common cold and flu. They just got more specific.

As monkeypox vaccination programs roll out and health authorities release information about how to reduce the spread of the virus, progress on another aspect of the outbreak is lagging: its name.
