...chlamydia - a virus usually contracted through sexual contact

Chlamydia is a bacterium, not a virus. I wonder if the rest of this article is as accurate as the above.

Chlamydia is a genus of bacteria. One species is Chlamydia pneumoniae, which causes the disease Pneumonia. It is not transmitted sexually.

Chlamydia trachomatis is the sexually transmitted disease.

Chlamydia psittaci causes "Parrot Fever" or "psittacosis", and is caught from birds. I don't think it is transmitted sexually, but having sex with an infected parrot would be a bad thing.

Singapore's Straits Times is the propaganda organ of Singapore's Lee-dynasty dictatorship and it's "reporters" are prize winning graduates of the Joe Goebbels' Memorial School of Telling the Slaves They Are Really FRee -- and Of Course the Emporer is Clothed.

Take whatever it says as if you read it in Alice in Wonderland.
