Sexually transmitted diseases are not caused by lack of government funding. They are caused by irresponsible behavior.

[ClearCase_guy]

It really is amazing — disease spreads because of lack of money. Who knew?

[Jonty30]

Yes, sex outside marriage between a man and woman is completely unrelated for the rise in syphillis.

More people are getting syphilis due to GlowBull warming. I’m sure of this... every time I turn on NPR in the car, they tell me so.

If this is not the case, most certainly more are getting it because they were not vaccinated.

“Second is that women with syphilis are disproportionately ethnic minorities, racial minorities, and those are people who have less ready access to healthcare than other populations,” he continues.

Well, that rules out rampant sex with multiple partners as the second reason. /sarcasm

[Bonemaker]

“Why Are So Many People Getting Syphilis?”

People are a whole lot sleazier.

I’m one of the experts and I can answer in three letters. Send me my $1 million consulting fee and I will share the secret.

Capitalism. Also, assault weapons.

"Sexually transmitted diseases are not caused by lack of government funding. They are caused by irresponsible behavior."

Yes it is but it can also be caught just by someone being in love with the wrong person at the wrong time. In the dark ages the ignorant used to think that disease was punishment from God for any kind of sin, even from things like not tithing enough to the church. Do you really want to go back to that?

“ Second is that women with syphilis are disproportionately ethnic minorities, racial minorities, and those are people who have less ready access to healthcare than other populations,”

Well, there we have it. Syphilis is racist.

According to liberals, money solves everything.

[Bigg Red]

Exactly.

[EEGator]

More whores?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Because men are sticking a certain body part where they had not stick it.

[RoosterRedux]

Woke World teaches young kids to have sex with everyone, of every sex, and then wonders why there is an explosion of STD's.

This sounds like a job for Lt. Colombo.

[ronniesgal]

they could wrap their pecker and maybe not get ( or share)VD.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Because so many people are stupid, dirty and have very poor personal hygienic habits.

[Glad2bnuts]

Rush would say, “It is a gift to US from Turd Whirlled countries. Now close the borders.

[llevrok]

Recall Ellis Island where immigrants were quarantined?

Open up the southern border to millions of people with out checking their health and the over all nation’s population starts to feel the impact.

[twister881]

Flood of military age illegal alien males + hyperactive sex perverts + parentless poor people = rapid rise of STDs and every other disease.

[MayflowerMadam]

“because public health efforts to control these diseases are underfunded.”

Uh... That’s not the reason.
