When some of us were sick in 1957 they called the illness that took many lives “the Asian Flu.”
That was in the old days.

I agree. Monkeys shouldn’t be saddled with the stigma of a homosexual disease.

More evidence, as if any were needed, that the so-called ‘World Health Organization’ needs to be put out of business permanently.

Perhaps an obscure term, such as “Macaca Pox.” Then only the Portuguese would be offended (ofendido).

Never in my life have I referred to a gay person (or anybody else, except my kids) as a “monkey.” So how is this prejudicial?

You know the first symptom of monkey pox? A pounding feeling in your rectum.
