Two cases of gonorrhea in the U.S. appear to have reduced susceptibility to every kind of antibiotic available to treat them, public health officials say.

Public health officials says they have found two cases of gonorrhea that appear to have reduced susceptibility to every kind of antibiotic available to treat them. It’s the first time strains of gonorrhea this resistant to antibiotics have been identified in the United States. Increased sexual activity during the pandemic, coupled with fewer people getting routine health screenings, supercharged the spread of sexually transmitted infections around the world.

People can be infected without having symptoms. Left untreated, the infection can cause pelvic pain and infertility in women and blindness in newborns. In addition to reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone, the strains of gonorrhea identified in Massachusetts also showed reduced susceptibility to cefixime and azithromycin; the strains were resistant to ciprofloxacin, penicillin and tetracycline, according to a clinical alert sent to physicians by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

Hook up culture, promiscuous relationships and infidelity = proliferation of STIs and associated diseases. There are relative laws that govern human sexuality. To break these laws is to invite plagues.

Where is Biden's speech on drug-resistant gonorrhea? That is going to be increasingly more funny as time goes by. I don't believe he is not anti-abortion. Same type of thing for those squares.

You can avoid that by not screwing around. On the other hand, there's a lot of MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus) that is VERY resistant to any known antibiotic, and has caused many fatal sepsis cases in hospitals. Sepsis is where the bacteria gets in your blood.

Oh boy! Here comes a mandatory death jab!
