America Is Being Crippled by STDs

A record 2.4 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases were reported among Americans in 2023, according to official data released on Tuesday.

• Five Americans caught an std every minute last year.
• Chlamydia is the most commonly reported disease with 1.6 million cases.
• Nearly 56 percent of all cases of chlamydia were reported among people ages 15 to 24.
• Cases of syphilis have surged in the past 20 years, especially among infants who catch it from their mothers, which is potentially fatal for babies.

Britain also reported significant increases in stds in 2023.

Crumbling foundation: In his article “When Family Falls, Society Falls,” Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote:

History shows that the strength of any nation depends on the strength of its families. Family is the rock-solid foundation on which a country’s superstructure is erected. That was the case for both America and Britain in their rise to greatness.

This alarming data is the result of years of family breakdown and moral collapse in both nations. People are not upholding the most basic biblical values and are suffering terrible affliction because of reckless, reprobate lifestyles.
