W.H.O. renaming diseases so they are politically correct...REALLY??
Snip:
"Terms that should be avoided in disease names include geographic locations (e.g. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Spanish Flu, Rift Valley fever), people’s names (e.g. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Chagas disease), species of animal or food (e.g. swine flu, bird flu, monkey pox), cultural, population, industry or occupational references (e.g. legionnaires), and terms that incite undue fear (e.g. unknown, fatal, epidemic)."

I guess they are afraid of hurting the pig and bird population's feelings. Why don't they worry about finding cures rather than finding names that are more soothing to the population. In most cases the names given fit the disease and will stick in the minds of the public bringing greater awareness to the illness and it's causes and symptoms. I am so sick of being told what to do and say by a bunch of Dumbocrat liberal assholes....

Don't forget Polio, people still have all the symptoms, they just changed the name and call it something else and claim polio is cured with their vaccine.

Nothing new.
They did it with AIDS, after Hollywood Gays demanded that the name "Gay-Related Immuno Deficiency" (GRID) was offensive, back in the 80's.

That is all well and good with the right incentive behind it. The only problem with your thinking, as is with the majority thinking is that a cure needs to be found and is paramount. What is really needed is to find the cause, the cause is the important issue that always gets looked over because that means big pharma loose out, they keep you sick while the charities keep rich on the cure bandwagon.
Get to the cause, which in all likelihood, 8 times out of 10 comes from a lab. Finding the cause will cure the problem without feeding big pharma, and where it is necessary is justified.

Guess that means soda associated diabetes, statin associated diabetes, chemo induced cancers, Pesticide, herbicide, links to disease states and so on right?

Oh and I guess the CDC is out of a job as every year they use terms that incite undue fear.

Remember ... the swine flu caused thousands of live pigs to be buried alive.

So yeah...some of that I can agree with.
