They’ve done away with naming diseases after people. Most new diseases now have descriptive names. E.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
And some diseases are renamed and actively encouraged to not use the old name. A prime example is granulomatosis with polyangitis, formerly known as Wegener’s granulomatosis. Wegener being a nazi might be a reason for this particular change…
Idk. If we called a certain cancer “the Hitler disease” that would probably get across how dangerous it is.
We do, it’s formally known as Fascism.
And it’s contagious
