Title of article:
> County expands MPX vaccine eligibility to all LGBTQ men
1st paragraph:
>> Contra Costa County expanded eligibility for the monkeypox vaccine Tuesday to all LGBTQ men,
^ Confused...despite the name change/acronym suggested by the World Health Organization to minimalize stigma, is the virus officially to be referred to as monkeypox or MPX?
Either way it is the same virus.

Simply changing the name of monkeypox to MPX to avoid stigma is not going to alter anything until the number of 'MPX' infections dramatically decrease.

Monkeypox (or MPX) is endemic in West Africa and epidemic in the United States.
Social distancing should be another key consideration.

For some reason the United States has the highest number of MPX infections compared to the rest of the world.
Why is that?
