Drug Resistant Gonorrhea On The Move

The world is naturally biased against r:

Antibiotic-resistant cases of the sexually transmitted illness gonorrhea have more than quadrupled in the United States.

This new data, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, should serve as a warning that “the future of current treatment options may be in jeopardy,” the agency said in a news release issued Thursday.

“The confluence of emerging drug resistance and very limited alternative options for treatment creates a perfect storm for future gonorrhea treatment failure in the U.S.,” said Dr. Jonathan Mermin, who directs the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention.

A sexually transmitted disease which sterilizes those it infects, which is just a hair away from being fully untreatable, and which specifically favors infecting the r-strategists in our species. Even Bacteriophage labs specifically note that their broad spectrum phage preps are not effective against Neisseria species.

And all of this is emerging with force, as part of a greater confluence of multiple K-selecting stimuli, the scale of which humanity may never have seen before.

Never tell me there is not a supernatural force in this world which is actively working against r, and using the very structure of the world to destroy the rabbits at every turn.
