The US saw 203,500 syphilis cases in 2022 (the last year for which data are available), up 17% from 2021 and nearly 80% from 2018. The data also showed 3,755 babies were born with congenital syphilis in 2022, a nearly 31% change year-over-year and a 183% change since 2018.

“While the syphilis epidemic touches nearly every community, some racial and ethnic groups bear the brunt due to longstanding social inequities that often lead to health disparities.”

When I saw the lede, I read through the article to find what I knew would be there.

Voila!

Nothing more need be said, since the author has exposed their real agenda.

Monogamy will wipe it out in 1 generation. Only have sex with your husband or wife. Marriage between only a man and a woman.

Yes..listen to ADM Rachel Levine about the boooga boos of syphilis and forget that its resurgence is due to un tested, unchecked and unscreened ILLEGAL SLAGS invading his country.

.....”...Despite comprising 13% of the U.S. population and 14% of live births, Black or African American people represented nearly 32% of all primary and secondary syphilis cases and experienced about 30% of congenital syphilis cases in 2022.”...

but in the end,, blame it all on Whitey .......

Nothing at all to do with the surge of millions of non-citizens unchecked or unvetted in any way, shape, form or manner for any kind of disease, legal troubles in their home country, or violent behavior even on the way to the entry point to the US, authorized or otherwise. Syphilis is but ONE of the diseases being re-introduced to the US.

Once here, the violent tendencies toward citizens of this country assures that some number of these disease-laden invaders have transmitted their loathsome afflictions to their victims, and thus propagated the new spread of disease and human waste across the land.

This is a hidden cost for which the citizenry of this country shall be paying for years, even decades, into the future.

Yep.

This sentence tells the agenda:

“In October 2023, CDC published the agency’s first draft guidelines outlining how some gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men and transgender women could use the common antibiotic doxycycline to prevent acquisition of syphilis, as well as gonorrhea and chlamydia.”

Problem is that people copulate indiscriminately. Monogamy and family building is for a people who want to survive long term.

The rest may very likely suffer and eventually die off due to overwhelming STD disease burden.

--- "Monogamy will wipe it out in 1 generation. Only have sex with your husband or wife. Marriage between only a man and a woman."

While neither funny nor pithy per se, your comment is THE comment of the day for me. Totally accurate in epidemiological terms and rooted wholly in truth. Kudos. Needs being highlights again.

I thought the Zero G generation gave up copulating.

LOL, those training films I saw in the USN left me with scars!

Of course, now, those are probably recruitment tools.
