Behold, the death of public health. We’re going down. It’s going to get so much worse with immune dysfunction at the population level. We haven’t seen anything yet.
“A common type of penicillin used to treat syphilis is in short supply in the US as cases of the sexually transmitted disease continue to rise.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor’s decision last week tossed out the requirements for insurance companies to cover the HIV prevention drug PrEP & to offer a range of preventive services — from syphilis tests to depression screenings — at no cost.” politico.com/news/2023/04/1…
Japan is also seeing record syphilis cases, with cases up 20% over last year. Puzzling and mysterious.
As an aside, they also downgraded Covid amid record hospitalizations & deaths. https://t.co/UlXPElLZnDjapantoday.com/category/quote…
Lymphocytopenia frequently occurs in those who have had Covid, and we don’t know why.
With lymphocytopenia comes recurrent viral, bacterial, fungal, & parasitic infections. STDs are included. (Thread)
Pardon the source, but mainstream media doesn’t cover this topic much.
“The record highs of STD diagnoses is believed to be linked to the pandemic.”
(The pandemic that continues to rage while we refuse to test or collect & report data.) dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
2021: “America has a poor healthcare infrastructure to facilitate adequate amounts of testing & treatment of STIs…STI prevention is continually underfunded with the CDC budget on STI prevention decreasing by 40% since 2003 after adjusting for inflation.” theguardian.com/us-news/2021/o…
@JoanElizShields I remember when C. auris began jumping from person to person for the first time ever in 2021. We didn’t hear about it for MONTHS.
Two years later, we continue to studiously ignore the rapidly increasing threats to our collective survival. ajc.com/pulse/cdc-dead…
Back in January 2023, we learned a drug resistant strain of gonorrhea was circulating in the US. Then we never heard about it again. We will come to regret defunding public health. https://t.co/4pD9C3axv8wsj.com/articles/new-s…
Syphilis cases are increasing in Korea too. They are upgrading it to “a Class 3 infectious disease, like malaria and AIDS.” https://t.co/M1zmqBtUNxkoreabiomed.com/news/articleVi…
This is a pattern. https://t.co/674b9SuqcXasahi.com/ajw/articles/1…
“UK Incidence of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV have increased 19% since 2020…Sexually transmitted infections grew by 20% among people over 65.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
We’re maiming the next generation from every direction. https://t.co/MsK6BFUDmMmirror.co.uk/news/us-news/s…
This is a pattern. https://t.co/1LYtMs1biowalesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/c…
“There were 82,592 cases of gonorrhoea in 2022 - up 50% on the 54,661 recorded the year before, the UK Health Security Agency says.
Syphilis cases increased by 15% from 7,543 to 8,692.” bbc.com/news/health-65…
Speaking of gonorrhea, this is from January 2023. I haven’t seen any updates.
“Two cases in Massachusetts involve a novel strain more impervious to existing antibiotics than other strains in the U.S.” wsj.com/articles/new-s…
How curious. Japan downgraded Covid to “flu status” amid record Covid. Now they’re also experiencing puzzling outbreaks—measles and syphilis, to name a few, just like in the US & UK. outbreaknewstoday.com/syphilis-cases…
This is who we are, and everyone should see what we have done.
“Cases of congenital syphilis have more than tripled in recent years.”
And cases will continue skyrocketing as we infect & reinfect entire countries with a novel pathogen that damages immune systems, & we’re out of drugs that treat these infections. https://t.co/u5H5KBVaSkfoxnews.com/us/pfizer-warn…
If you’re an American and you get syphilis between now and the summer of 2024, I guess you’re out of luck.
“The stock is not expected to recover until sometime between April 1 and June 30, 2024.” wusa9.com/article/news/l…
“Pfizer estimated that the supply for kids may run out as early as the end of the month, while supply for adults could deplete in September.” statnews.com/2023/06/22/bic…
I’m not sure how they can possibly get any higher, but evidently we’re going there.
Remember, Americans should refrain from getting syphilis between now and June 2024, as there will be no antibiotics to treat it until then. nytimes.com/2023/07/07/hea…
To recap, syphilis is at a 70-yr high & there’s no antibiotics. Our public health body is dead & defunded, & we’re repeatedly infecting everyone with a BSL-3 novel pathogen. Abortion is illegal in half of US states.
How many babies will be born with syphilis in the next year?
“The CDC told states on Tuesday that it was reducing funding for workers who fight sexually transmitted infections by $400 million…” rollcall.com/2023/06/14/cdc…
Amid record rates of STIs, an ongoing antibiotics shortage, & babies being born with syphilis en masse, the CDC is cutting yet more STI funding from our already massively defunded PH system, & we’re told folks aren’t wearing condoms. There’s that phrase again: “paradigm shift.”
The “paradigm shift” is deliberate.
“Accept exposure policies” won’t be limited to Covid, friends.
