So if you think the illegal invaders crossing the border is a good thing … diversity sucks … especially if the diversity is diseased.
HOUSTON - An alarming report from the CDC reveals an increasing number of babies are being born with syphilis.
The CDC recently released a report revealing congenital syphilis cases increased by 32% between the years 2020 and 2021, and Texas accounted for the highest number of cases with nearly 700 congenital syphilis births reported.
Congenital syphilis is when a mother passes the infection to her unborn baby. According to the CDC, the rise in these cases resulted in at least 220 stillbirths and infant deaths. And even if the child survives, there can be serious health consequences.
"Blood problems, bone problems, liver problems, and some babies can have neuro-syphilis where it goes to the central nervous system," said Dr. Irene Stafford, Maternal-Fetal Medicine Doctor with UTHealth & Memorial Hermann.
"It disproportionately affects minorities and the underserved, and we know for a fact these communities in Houston have been disproportionately affected," Stafford said.
