”Last year the rate of syphilis cases reached its highest since 1991 and the total number of cases hit its highest since 1948.”
I guess they wanted to reference 1948 because U.S. population was 146,630,000, less than half of what it was in 2021 (331,890,000). What a misleading “statistic.”
This Daily Caller article references CDC data:
CDC Warns That US Sexually Transmitted Diseases Are ‘Out Of Control’
The data reveals that STDs continue to surge “with no signs of slowing,” rising from 2,400,000 infections to 2,500,000 throughout the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a 26% rise in new syphilis infections throughout 2021, the highest rate since 1991, The Associated Press noted.
In the article, the word “data” is a link to this CDC article, which cites data from 2017 and 2021:
Preliminary 2021 STD Surveillance Data
Chlamydia:
1,708,569 cases / 2017
1,628,397 cases / 2021
Gonorrhea:
555,608 cases / 2017
696,764 cases / 2021
Syphilis:
101,590 cases / 2017
171,074 cases / 2021
Congenital Syphilis:
941 cases / 2017
2677 cases / 2021
(U.S. Population in 2017 was 325,000,000. In 2021 it was 331,890,000).
rising from 2,400,000 infections to 2,500,000 throughout the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Again, very misleading, as the “2,400,000 infections” refers to 2017!
Per the CDC’s own statistics the total number of STD’s:
2017 = 2,366,708
2021 = 2,498,913
This represents about a 5.3% (132,204) increase over a 4-year period. “Out of control?” Not really.
The only things that are “out of control” are shoddy, inflammatory journalism, aided and abetted by an evidently corrupt federal agency. “Alarming” news like this will keep everyone’s eyes and minds off of vaccine injuries.
Very good. Lying with numbers is a common government activity.
