Currently betting under the assumption that BBC or NPR using the proposed "hMPXV" would make this question resolve "YES"

Or "MPV" as in the following excerpt: "When you say no sex, you're mischaracterizing that MPV, also known as monkeypox, is a sex-associated transmission, which it can be, but it's not the end all be all."

@cos Same, as I mentioned in my comments on https://manifold.markets/ZviMowshowitz/will-zvi-end-up-writing-3-or-more-p, I'm not too confident predicting the technical details, but I'm sure they'll find a way to SOMEHOW call it something else.
0

@cos That's interesting. I want to say if there is a statement like MPV is short for MonkeyPox Virus, then it doesn't count, but if they say it's short for Modern Pox Virus (or similar) it does.
0

Or perhaps, using MPV without specifying what it stands for, but that conflicts with the clarification in the market description. I'm open to arguments for which is best.

Another possibility, which I'm not sure I like as much, would be if the article does not include the clarification "Monkeypox virus (MPV)" at any point.

@Duncan I am fleeing from uncertainty. (I had no idea I was carrying so much of the market, lol.)
0

@Duncan The market description says it's whether monkeypox is "referred to by another name." I could see MPV going either way, since it's still short for monkeypox. Is "Dick" the same name as "Richard"? I dunno.

"hMPXV" I lean more towards different, because they clearly made a deliberate choice to add the "human" in there.
0

The biggest thing I want confirmation on is I think there's a decent chance they find some esoteric technical justification to refer to it differently, without formally renaming it. Like the switch from AIDs to HIV, or coming up with a name for a specific strain, and then only using the strain names, not the virus name. As I read the market description that would qualify, but I don't want to get burned on a technicality.

@MichaelWheatley That sort of change would resolve the market as YES. If Monkeypox-beta is referred to simply as Beta (and Monkeypox-alpha is not used or referred to as Alpha), or they use Orthopoxvirus-22, or it is referred to as Acquired Pox Synonym, those would all be YES conditions.
