Considering the LINKED article says that a specific agency REVERTED that change proves that completely false.

Lmfao, don’t call someone an idiot because they point out what you missed, maybe you could learn something?

I’ve got no horse here, I just pointed out the article covered their question. And now you are linking a (grammatically incorrect) Wikipedia article as a source. I haven’t resorted to name calling, but there’s quite a few for people acting the way you are right now.

Agencies use the new correct term, you calling me wrong for pointing this out…? What point are you even making here then?

Wikipedia isn’t a source, use their sources as sources…

And that article (yes Wikipedia is articles… and not sources) is a bloody mess anyways.

Smallpox and monkeypox viruses are both orthopoxviruses, and the smallpox vaccine is effective against mpox if

Symptoms of mpox in humans incl

They don’t even know what to call it, and keep changing it throughout the article lol. So yeah, great source to use for what to call it… and cherry pick the one you want to boot!

Does the fact the technical name is wrong because of how it was wrongly classified just go right over your head then…?

It came from rodents, it should be Orthopoxvirus rodentpox. And the article explains THAT. Sheesh it’s like you people can’t stand that something was wrong and is trying to be corrected, because of all the other drama.

Again, this was ALL well explained in the linked article.

I mean the article does a pretty good job.
