Meanwhile, the Obamacare-related public health priority is to encourage vastly more women to get themselves temporarily or permanently sterilized with long-term hormonal contraceptives: injectables, implants, patches, and vaginal insertions.

These actually enhance the transmission of viral and bacterial pathogens.

More disease. Lots more disease. That's Public Health!

These actually enhance the transmission of viral and bacterial pathogens.

I'm curious as to how that works (other than encouraging more frequent casual intercourse with strangers). Have you any links to research on the topic?

As noted in another post, much of the increase in VD is among male sodomites. I don't think they're dosing themselves with hormonal contraceptives. They're simply engaged in conduct that's inherently unsafe, unsanitary, and unhealthful.
