The National Institutes of Health has spent millions of dollars studying male sex workers in Peru, including more than $400,000 to determine why gay men get syphilis in the South American country.

“Syphilis remains an uncontrolled infectious disease globally, with high prevalence and incidence in certain high risk populations, affecting more than 20 percent of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Peru,” according to the grant, awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

“The incidence of syphilis in MSM in Peru is about 9 cases per 100 person-years,” it said. “We are proposing a study to improve our understanding of syphilis epidemiology and molecular biology, particularly among MSM.”

Of course——Sodomites control Hollywood and the Politicians and our CULTURE and LAWS-—and have for decades through the pedophiles in Hollywood. Why is AIDS getting more money than Cancer studies.....??? Why are “Just Laws” promoting the Vice of sodomy NOW to our children??? Why is “Pride” in anal sex allowed to warp the minds of our children in public schools???? to destroy Christian Ethics and Reason?

Sodomites only care about themselves-—they are narcissists. It is why all homosexual cultures collapse—they hate women-—Sodomites don’t care about the children and women-—they abuse the children. There is no “future” with their priorities. Nihilism.

How did the government think these men were getting it? With all the deficits being run, we surely don’t need to spend money on this.
