The new world order, in action.
Didn't Henry the VIII die of syphilis.

Researchers said the dramatic increase in the condition highlights the link between health, poverty and institutional racism in "fueling transmission of severe but preventable infections.” Yet another article on an easily preventable condition without mentioning PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. The article says severe but preventable but doesn't have the balls to say SO DON'T DO IT.
This is all such BS. Health, poverty, and/or institutional racism does not give you syphilis.

In year 2000 and 2001 the U.S. had 2.1 cases of syphilis per 100,000 population. Now it's 20 per 100,000 (ten times as much).
Evidently doing things outside of God's plan doesn't work out quite as well.

"Ohio, Missouri and Minnesota have also seen a rise in congenital syphilis—Missouri last year reported the highest number of cases since 1994, cases in Minnesota increased 42% in 2022 and cases in Ohio rose 158% from 2019 to 2021."

Born with syphilis, great. We know what that did to Mao. Imagine what it does to a pre and postnatal developing brain. Kid is doomed from the start.

We need to stop babies from having conjugal visits in the womb.

It went up more for whites than it did for blacks, but they still blame institutional racism.

Wonder how many whites got the Treponema spp. from sleeping with a black? That would be telling.

It creates a Democrat who will open up the border some more bringing more STDs.
We have reached the end as a nation.

I remember all the propaganda from my childhood. Don’t have sex you’ll get a disease. Don’t do drugs you will OD. Corporations are out to get you. All good advice but hyperbolic. The hyperbole is now gone.

Wonder how many whites got the Treponema spp. from sleeping with a black? I'd wager that's the crux of that 'statistic' for Whites.

More than 70% of the babies hospitalized with congenital syphilis were African-American, though the number of white babies born with the disease increased 2,600% in the time studied, compared to a 1,029% increase among Black children. This could have been ripped out of Huff's book How to Lie with Statistics. First, 70% were African American even though they are less than 13% of the population. Second the relative increase for white babies is larger because the starting number is smaller. For example, go from 5 babies with the disease to 30 babies is a 600% increase. However, start with 25 babies and increase the same 25 babies and it's only a 100 increase. The first statement almost guarantee that the second statistic is manipulated. Don't give us relative measures. Given us the raw numbers and we can figure the relative increases ourselves.
Oh...but wait. You Leftists don't want us to think for ourselves...

It is typical liberal stuff to use big numbers to scare you
Suppose the start rate was 2 babies per 100,000 people then a 1000 Percent would be yield 20 babies per 100,000.
if you only had 18 additional babies infected in a population of 100,000 how scary is that?
Scary for the babies and moms yes, but not very scary to someone that can do arithmetic.
