Last month the CDC revealed that the number of babies born with syphilis had increased tenfold. The Centers for Disease Control blamed this on racism and inequity.
But the real issue isn’t racism even though the syphilis epidemic does affect minorities far more than white people. The number of babies born with ‘congenital syphilis’ did not rise from 365 in 1986, 529 in 2000 to 2,855 in 2021 because America was more racist in 2021 than in 1986.
In 2022, congenital syphilis shot up further to 3,700 resulting in 51 deaths and 231 stillbirths. Was America ten times more racist in 2022 than it had been in the eighties?
The federal health bureaucracy has put its top people on this medical mystery, dispatching Admiral Rick ‘Rachel’ Levine, a man whose claims to really be a woman rewarded him with an admiralship and a top health position in the Biden administration, to Georgia to promote a “sex positive harm reduction framework” and “LGBTQI+ health concerns”. What those concerns had to do with babies being born with syphilis to presumably heterosexual mothers was not addressed, but equity, if not the babies, were serviced by the transgender fake admiral.
In the 90s, the CDC unveiled a “National Plan to Eliminate Syphilis from the United States”. During the Obama administration the plan was finally abandoned far short of its original goal of reducing “cases to 1,000” and increasing “the number of syphilis-free counties to 90% by 2005.”
70% of the population now lives in counties with high syphilis rates. Not only have we not defeated syphilis, but the country is seeing the highest rates in 80 years.
It’s another triumph for the Biden administration which saw syphilis cases rise 26% in its first year. It’s a long way from the 90s when the CDC could optimistically argue that eliminating it was possible because “nationally, it is at the lowest rate ever recorded and it is confined to a very limited number of geographic areas.” It’s an accomplishment worse than Bidenomics.
What possible phenomenon could account for a massive increase in such a short time?
The number of syphilis cases doubled in Texas in five years. They’re up by 4,000 in just one year. What possible phenomenon in a border state might have caused such a drastic increase in so few years? Was it a sudden massive rise in racism or a massively open border?
In 2022, Texas reported 950 congenital syphilis cases accounting for nearly half the total in the entire country.
Arizona had the nation’s highest rate where the number of babies born with syphilis shot up from 17 in 2016 to 219 in 2022.
New Mexico had a 660% increase in congenital syphilis, for the second highest rate in the country for both syphilis and congenital syphilis, with 76 cases in 2022.
California is in sixth place where congenital syphilis cases rose 1,500% with 528 cases reported in 2019. “Hispanic babies made up nearly 50% of all cases” and the epicenter of the outbreak is in Fresno.
Who knows why the massive outbreak in congenital syphilis cases was clustered around border states during the same period when a mass migration of illegal aliens was underway.
You don’t have to be a public health expert to solve this one. It actually helps if you’re not.
None of the billions we spend on the CDC, the NIH and all the other acronym public health bureaucracies could explain why congenital syphilis in the Northeast only amounted to 121 cases in 2021, 296 cases in the Midwest, but 939 cases in the West and 1,499 cases in the South.
Why does Alabama have 37 cases while Arizona had 181 cases in 2021? What does Arizona have that Alabama lacks?
Racism, inequity or a border?
The CDC certainly has no idea and no clue how to solve this medical mystery. The experts have concluded that it’s a “socioeconomic problem”. Medical surveys have carried out groundbreaking research showing that congenital syphilis cases mostly involve poor minorities with low education levels living in rural areas. And therefore the answer is more social welfare.
“While newborn syphilis cases are increasing overall, babies born to black, Hispanic, or American Indian/Alaska Native mothers were up to 8 times more likely to have newborn syphilis in 2021 than babies born to white mothers,” the CDC argued. “Such disparities stem from decades of deeply entrenched social determinants of health that… result in health inequities such as higher rates of syphilis in some communities.”
This is the same rhetoric that the CDC has been deploying over the years including in its abandoned national plan to end syphilis. Despite all the funding allocated to testing and community outreach, all of which were supposed to solve “health inequities”, congenital syphilis rates tend to reflect overall syphilis rates, and syphilis rates reflect social stability.
Import millions of illegal alien migrants, most of them young men, and syphilis rates will spike.
In times of social upheaval, such as war, STD rates climb. Our current syphilis rates echo those of former eras such as the Great Depression or WWII when millions of men were displaced from home. The current syphilis spike isn’t caused by a war, or if it’s a war, it’s one that we’re losing.
The syphilis rates are the result of an invasion by millions of military age men. And the women brought along from south of the border or around the world. Some of the highest rates of previous syphilis exposure among pregnant women were found in high migrant countries like Venezuela and Haiti.
We don’t have to have crazy rates of a disease that, especially in newborns, could have been dealt with long ago. The cure was securing the border so millions of migrants couldn’t cross it.
Leandro Mena, the head of the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention, blamed the syphilis problem on stigma. “We, as a society, have a tremendous difficulty talking about sex and recognizing that sex is a normal activity and part of our human experience,”
The issue is not that we don’t talk about sex — we hardly talk about anything else. It’s that the experts and the public health bureaucrats pretend that syphilis outbreaks are caused by Americans being too puritanical to discuss where babies come from. Surely when sexuality studies are imposed on every kindergarten, this whole STD thing will finally go away.
But the CDC’s social welfare proposals are no substitute for a stable family life.
Syphilis rates are due to personal choices. They begin with parenthood. 64% of black children, 49% of American Indian, 42% of Latino and 24% of white children live in single parent households. The CDC refuses to consider the possibility that the same pyramid that governs single parent households is also reflected in syphilis cases including those of babies.
The issue is not that we don’t talk about sex; it’s that we don’t talk about family or the culture of nations. There is no stigma in talking about sex, but there is a stigma in talking about values or border security. The American family has gone on falling apart. Babies, killed in the womb or born with syphilis, are the collateral damage of a disastrous culture war. Flood the country with a mass invasion of people from failed states and the situation will get worse, not better.
It’s such a stigma that Mena won’t talk about it. Neither will anyone in the Biden administration.
We live in a society of mysteries that baffle the experts. Why does the public hate Bidenomics? Why do people think that there’s a lot of crime? Where is the inflation coming from? And why is there a sudden syphilis explosion? The usual answer to all of these questions is ‘racism’.
Why won’t Americans listen to the experts who can’t seem to ever find the “root cause” to any of the problems even when they’re staring them right in the face? It’s another mystery. The answer is probably “disinformation” with a side order of “racism”. Give the CDC a few billion and they’ll get to work on solving it.
The triumph of the “great” leftist philosopher Michel Foucault. He wrote a whole book on the benefits of introducing diseases into civilized nations, the most shocking book I had read up to that time (1980s).
This is what I’ve been saying to anyone who’ll listen: DISEASE, 3rd World DISEASE is the scariest invader.
It makes one wonder what other diseases are on the rise but are not being reported on news media. Americans will find out soon enough…
Just look at the moral standards of millions in America and the rest of the world. Men and women have several sexual partners before marriage. Men and women have children first, and then get married, maybe. Husbands and wives have one or more affairs on the side after marriage. Add in the lying, and cheating in other areas of society. Is that the type of society a decent person wants to live in?
As for the issue mentioned in this article, if the United States continues to allow millions of illegal aliens into the country, then you can expect the numbers listed will go even higher. in the years to come. You can expect other diseases to increase as well.
It is almost a cultural trait in Mexico for people, middle class and lower class, to NOT marry. Just live together and have families. Iow, diss the vows of real marriages. Interestingly enough this has happened here now too. A significant number of the last two or so generations have dissed marriage. Me and my hubby are in our first and only marriage and approaching several decades of it.
Luz Maria:
Regarding your last sentence. Same here, married more than half a century and very happy. .
Somewhere in the recess of memory is a quaint time when marriage usually preceded babies being born and the engaged couple had a test for this disease prior th obtaining a marriage license.
You’re are correct for sure. These decades after that, I remember that and that test.
So bringing in millions of aggressive, low IQ young men with no 21st century job skills and high rates of STDs will increase the rate of STDs??? Who’d have thunk it, Joe and Kami (pronounced Commie)?
I thought the MSM indicated those crowds at the border were intact families, mostly doctors, nurses, accountants and electrical engineers. What positive traits do they actually bring us, besides vibrancy?
“….mostly doctors, nurses, accountants and electrical engineers.”
Too funny, ma’am.
Although it might be that group that is escaping California and New York because of all the “upper class and highly educated” “migrants without documents” being shown so many favors there.
Everyone knows the border is held open to let in more Democrats. But it also lets in fentanyl.
It would be extraordinary indeed if the people holding open the border are not getting paid for it in kickbacks from the fentanyl sales. Does anyone believe the people running this country would leave that kind of money on the table?
Back in the days before fentanyl, illegal drugs came mostly from Latin America. Drugs were flown through Cuban airspace and dropped into the sea north of the island where fast boats picked them up and sped them to the US. Castro received kickbacks from the drug lords for leaving his border open for the planes and boats. He was paid in long green US currency, the common coinage of the drug trade. He had a private jet fly sacks of it weekly to Switzerland for deposit in a bank for laundering.
This was all revealed in a Congressional hearing back in 2005 or so. I can’t find the record of it. It was in the papers for about a day and then gone.
Forbes ranked Castro as the 7th wealthiest ruler in the world at about $900 million.
Well, after the recent video event in the Senate, and after the discovery of cocaine in the White House, it would not be difficult to conclude that our politicians actually support the influx of drugs and lowering of moral standards in our Congress.
Luz María, that white powder in the white house us almost certainly the property of a well known relative of a high-up political office holder. This sort of thing is proof of moral standards being at a near-all-time low. It would not surprise me if a significant number of politicians are reaping high rewards from the drug incursion into the US, And this would perfectly explain their adamant refusal to DEAL with the problem. Look at the statistics of the wealth of policitians as they first enter “public service” and then again after they’ve ben “in the game” for a few decades. Their salaries come nowhere near to explining where that new wealth comes from.
And few people will willingly lay the axe to the root of their wealth.
I may be dreaming, but I do look forward to the day when true justice will be meted out to such as these. AND to thoswe who swore their oath of office then have steadfastly refused to KEEP it.
Its the MO of communists the world over. Somehow, someway they always seem to increase their bank accounts while 99% suffer hunger and disease.
It also let in 85,000 unaccounted children. Children who are now in the sex slave trade. But don’t talk about that. That has nothing to do with sex. Pimps and pedophiles are the ones to benefit from the open borders.
Surge in baby syphilis? Babies shouldn’t be having sex in the first place. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
They’re not.. It’s congenital syphilis.
In Latin America, poverty and prostitution are very common. Very likely many prostitutes or trafficked women are brought in, and they will cater to men already here of their ethnicity. Probably most of the recent newcomers don’t yet have the money to pay for prostitutes. I would give that most cases involve married or cohabitating couples where the man goes to brothels full of women of their ethnicity.
Nothing surprising here. When you elect a clown show, you get Bozos. And, not to repeat myself or nuthin’, stolen elections have their consquences.
Sorry to say the morality of man has sunk to the depths, especially with human trafficking and those who are creating disease. What a bunch of parasites.
Well … what the CDC and the KKKrats refuse to understand …
What would fathers do …
… if someone raped their daughters …
… and impregnated them …
… and gave them and the babies syphilis? …
Insert question. Cogitate a moment. …
… and then tell me what is Hell? …
Just a thought …
The CDC can’t figure out why there is a surge of aids in Florida either. Here’s a clue – massive invasion of illegal aliens from Africa and Haiti. Here are a couple of other microbes the CDC can’t figure out why they are increasing – polio, leprosy, mumps, tuberculosis, chagas, staph, guinea worm, dengue fever, swine flu, chickenpox, hepatitisA and E, dysentery, chikungunya, yellow fever, whooping cough, zika and malaria. This is a secret that the media must keep under punishment of death, it seems.
Don’t worry, the World pHarma Organisation is on the case and the UN just needs a little more of your taxes to fix the problem.
My mom always told me that we didn’t have all these illnesses in America until they started letting in the illegal Aliens without their Vaccines
The left thrives on crises, which give them the pretext to impose dictatorial powers. How awful it is that anyohe would vote for them, and yet they could increase their power in 2024 rather than losing it. I am sure they are happy about the diseases they are welcoming into the country. It gives them an excuse for increasing controls and encouraging mail in ballots and ballot harvesting and all the other winning election strategies. They are probably celebrating the rise in foreign diseases in America as a result of their open borders policies.
