A new report from the California Department of Public Health shows that one of the most left-wing states in the union earned the #1 spot in the race for most cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and congenital syphilis in 2016. Whether that unenviable ranking had anything to do with the proliferation of SlutWalks in the state is unclear.
“Bacterial STD rates (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) in California ‘significantly increased’ in 2016, with over a quarter million cases reported during the course of the year,” reports LAIST. “This marks a 40% increase compared to five years ago, according to the CDPH, which characterized the 2016 data as marking an ‘all-time high” for the state.'”
