On Thursday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a Twitter poll asking people to vote on suggestions for new names for monkeypox, and the results of that poll are in with "schlong covid" as the winner.
"So monkeypox is about the coolest name ever for a disease. 'Can't come tonight. I got the monkey,' " Carlson said during a segment of Tucker Carlson Tonight. "But they are changing the name, cuz racism or something . . . Well we're not gonna allow it. We're gonna change the name this time. We're gonna do it with the public's help because Democracy is real. So we had a vote. There was no ballot harvesting, you can trust our counting. And the new name for monkeypox is now officially, and we're declaring it, schlong covid."
