避免“污名化”!世卫组织公开征集猴痘新名字名
The World Health Organization says it's holding an open forum to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations. 世界卫生组织表示,正举行一个公开论坛来重新命名猴痘。此前一些批评人士担心该名称可能带有贬义或种族主义色彩。
"When you remove the monkey imagery, people seem to understand more quickly that there's an emergency that needs to be taken seriously," he told Reuters. 米列洛指出,“消除猴子的形象,似乎能使人们更快认识到这是需要认真对待的紧急情况。”
Another proposal, Trump-22, appeared to be refer to former US president Donald Trump who used the controversial term “Chinese virus” for the new coronavirus, although its author said it stood for “Toxic Rash of Unrecognised Mysterious Provenance of 2022”.
Pressure is growing for a new name for the disease, in part because critics say it is misleading, since monkeys are not the original animal host. A group of leading scientists wrote a position paper in June calling for a name that was "neutral, non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing" amid fears the name can be used in a racist way.
The WHO declared the current outbreak a public health emergency last month having reported more than 32,000 cases from over 80 countries.
