It is bizarre that this phenomenon continues to be reproducible. I view it through a skeptical lens and question whether somehow experimenters are inadvertently influencing results. But, they go on to use double blind studies where even the nature of the study is disguised. Then I question whether there's a flaw in inferential statistics related to convergence in small samples. But, this would implicate many scientific "findings"- many of which we are not skeptical.
I'm not sure what part of this you're disagreeing with. The shortage and simultaneous increase in cases of syphilis are clearly documented. So if this is an "idiotic inference" what do you propose as an alternative explanation? Or, are you just here to criticize? I see you don't actually post content
It looks like radiation butt it's not. Both seem to involve cellular senescence and chronic inflammation. Different root cause. The spikes are measurable and repeatedly demonstrable so I think this is quite plausible the mechanism.
It's a honeypot.
It's a giant cointelpro.
It's a white hat providing a safe haven.
Or something else. Many theories have been proposed. Lately I've noticed there's a down voter brigade that jumps in any topic that's wrongthink do this is influencing my perception. Notice the time day. Oddly consistently EU time zones.
It's obviously not due to importing other cultures and advocating mass orgies

Critical thinking is also in short supply

Well i guess we're disagreeing here then. I'll admit it's not necessarily strong evidence but i also don't view the claim as requiring additional scrutiny. Since we disagree on the burden of proof for this claim and since tire clearly interested in the topic, why don't you explore it and report what you find? Either way we're not going to agree so it's not worth the back and forth- and certainly not the personal attacks. Shill tactics.
