Instances of babies being born with syphilis in Texas are going through the roof, and the antibiotics supply is running low, but fear not, because the mentally ill fat man with a receding hairline and obvious unaddressed inflammation issues who thinks he’s a woman is on the case, offering “expert” health advice.

On Thursday, Joe Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health Richard Levine visited a Dallas-area public hospital and met with administrators Steve Love and Dr. Emily Adhikari to assess the recent explosion in congenital syphilis cases. From a report at The Dallas Morning News:

Feds eye Texas as cases of syphilis surge in newborns

Though often thought to be a disease of the past, syphilis rates have grown consistently in the last decade. Between 2018 and 2022, syphilis cases jumped nearly 80% nationwide, while cases of congenital syphilis — or babies born with syphilis — nearly tripled, climbing 183%, according to recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

Texas saw 15.5 cases of syphilis per 100,000 people in 2022, putting it below the national average of 17.7. For congenital syphilis, Texas ranked fourth highest among reporting states, with nearly 247 cases per 100,000 live births, more than double the national average.

Now, when I look at this data, I see a major discrepancy—while the syphilis rate among adults is below the national average (despite Texas being the second most populated state barely behind California), the congenital syphilis rate is “more than double” the national average. (For context, the national average of congenital syphilis instances is 102.5 per 100,000 births, and as you see, the rate for Texas is 247 per 100,000 births.)

Gee, could this be because of Biden’s open border?
