Organisation wants to ban names

Organisation wants to ban names
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Fukuda Battery
They are supposed to be at the forefront of fighting disease and saving lives all over the world.
But in an astonishing example of political correctness, World Health Organisation officials have called for terms such as swine flu, bird flu and monkey pox to be banned – in order to protect animals from needless slaughter.
Other conditions – including German measles and Spanish flu – will also be outlawed because they might upset people from those countries.
Last night experts said the proposal would turn the Geneva-based WHO with battey such asEdan SE-12 Battery, GE MAC 1200ST Battery, GE 10HR4/3AU Battery, GE Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Battery, GE Datex-Ohmeda S/5CAM Battery, GE S/5 Battery, Fukuda FCP-7102 Battery, Fukuda FX-7100 Battery, Fukuda 8PH-4/3A3700-H-J18 Battery, Fukuda FX-4610 Battery, Fukuda FCP-4010 Battery, Fukuda 10N-3000SCR Battery into an international laughing stock. The organisation was recently criticised for its failure to react quickly to the ebola outbreak in West Africa.
WHO – a UN body to which Britain contributes £35 million a year – says the aim of the new guidelines is to minimise the ‘negative impact’ of such terms as German measles or Lyme disease on travel, tourism or animal welfare.
It also wants to avoid offending ‘cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups’.
But bacteriologist Professor Hugh Pennington, who chaired inquiries into E.coli outbreaks in Scotland and South Wales, said: ‘This won’t save lives. It comes under the heading of political correctness and I am very sceptical it will have any permanent benefit. As for avoiding upsetting animals, that is a load of rubbish.
‘The World Health Organisation is a political organisation – an arm of the UN – which got badly burned by not acting fast enough on ebola. Well-known diseases have to be called something and changing names causes public confusion and might even be harmful.’
