Part of the reason cases of syphilis — as well as other STIs — are rising is because public health efforts to control these diseases are underfunded.

[grundle]

Sexually transmitted diseases are not caused by lack of government funding. They are caused by irresponsible behavior.

[ClearCase_guy]

It really is amazing — disease spreads because of lack of money. Who knew?

[Jonty30]

Yes, sex outside marriage between a man and woman is completely unrelated for the rise in syphillis.

More people are getting syphilis due to GlowBull warming. I’m sure of this... every time I turn on NPR in the car, they tell me so.

If this is not the case, most certainly more are getting it because they were not vaccinated.

“Second is that women with syphilis are disproportionately ethnic minorities, racial minorities, and those are people who have less ready access to healthcare than other populations,” he continues.

Well, that rules out rampant sex with multiple partners as the second reason. /sarcasm

[Fai Mao]

It is Trump’s fault.

“Why Are So Many People Getting Syphilis?”

People are a whole lot sleazier.

I’m one of the experts and I can answer in three letters. Send me my $1 million consulting fee and I will share the secret.

Capitalism. Also, assault weapons.

"Sexually transmitted diseases are not caused by lack of government funding. They are caused by irresponsible behavior."

Yes it is but it can also be caught just by someone being in love with the wrong person at the wrong time. In the dark ages the ignorant used to think that disease was punishment from God for any kind of sin, even from things like not tithing enough to the church. Do you really want to go back to that?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Absolutely right! When a couple is in a globally-heated car, they heat up and are forced to remove clothes.

[Texas resident]

And gas stoves.

“ Second is that women with syphilis are disproportionately ethnic minorities, racial minorities, and those are people who have less ready access to healthcare than other populations,”

Well, there we have it. Syphilis is racist.

[maddog55]

According to liberals, money solves everything.

“Do you really want to go back to that? “

You are right! People are more moral than ever, so we don’t need to go back to those promiscuous days.

[Bigg Red]

Exactly.

[EEGator]

More whores?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Because men are sticking a certain body part where they had not stick it.

[Right Brother]

Yup, you just need more tax money to tell people to abstain from promiscuous sex or wear a condom.

[RoosterRedux]

Woke World teaches young kids to have sex with everyone, of every sex, and then wonders why there is an explosion of STD's.

This sounds like a job for Lt. Colombo.
