New York City's health department is calling on the World Health
Organization (WHO) to immediately rename the monkeypox virus.

In a letter to WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom
Gehebreyesus, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan wrote that while the Big Apple
remains concerned about rapidly increasing transmission and
limited access to testing resources and vaccine supply, it has a
"growing concern" for stigmatizing and "potentially devastating"
impacts the messaging around monkeypox can have on vulnerable
communities.

"Therefore, I write to urge you to act immediately on renaming
the �monkeypox� virus as the WHO stated they would do during a
June 14th press briefing, over [five] weeks ago. NYC joins many
public health experts and community leaders who have expressed
their serious concern about continuing to exclusively use the
term �monkeypox� given the stigma it may engender, and the
painful and racist history within which terminology like this is
rooted for communities of color," he said.

Tedros and the WHO declared last week that the international
outbreak constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International
Concern.

"Stigma and discrimination can be as dangerous as any virus," he
told reporters.

Messaging surrounding monkeypox has divided officials, and
Tedros announced in June that the United Nations health agency
is working with experts to change the name.

People normally become infected with the monkeypox virus through
contact with the skin lesions or bodily fluids of infected
animals or humans or through contact with materials contaminated
with the virus.

Although most cases have been seen in gay or bisexual men,
experts caution that anyone is at potential risk.

A group of scientists wrote on a forum earlier in June that
continued reference and nomenclature of the virus being African
"is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and
stigmatizing."

The virus has now spread to over 75 countries, according to data
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the
majority of which have not historically reported monkeypox.

Per the WHO, monkeypox is endemic to countries in western and
central Africa.

"'Monkeypox' is a misnomer, as the virus does not originate in
monkeys and was only classified as such due to an infection seen
in research primates," Vasan added.

Vasan said continuing to use the term "monkeypox" could reignite
traumatic feelings of racism and stigma, particularly for the
Black communities, other communities of color and members of the
LGBTQIA+ communities.

Vasan also noted that hate crimes against Asian and Pacific
Islander (AAPI) individuals have exponentially increased during
the COVID-19 pandemic, warning that additional consequences for
gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men could be
brought about due to stigma.

"Words can save lives or put them at further risk; thus, the
world cannot repeat these mistakes in nomenclature again," he
said. "We are at a critical crossroads of the �monkeypox'
outbreak � before understanding and awareness of the virus is
spread more widely, but also at a time of increasing
transmission where we need to be broadly messaging about primary
prevention and risk. The WHO must act in this moment before it
is too late. "

According to city data, as of Tuesday, 1,092 people tested for
orthopoxvirus and monkeypox, but there are likely many more
cases that have not been diagnosed.
