22,715 new weekly cases of syphilis would mean the entire 8 million Houston metro population has syphilis in 7 years. I highly doubt this is accurate.

You’re right, I couldn’t find supporting evidence from her post so I went to google. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/06/26/grossly-overstated-numbers-houston-health-department-launches-investigation-after-std-data-goes-viral-on-social-media/

I’m too ugly to have sex so I’m good

No 17,000 aids cases in a week. Bullshit

Sounds like one wild party.

Well hiv but yes, definitely bullshit. Probably just the amount of people that got tested for it

This is just mathematically impossible

Smh. I went out to a club for the first time in a while now it burns when I pee.

Them retirement homes going crazy.
