Pfizer warns of a looming penicillin supply shortage

> Syphilis rates were at a historic low from 2000 to 2001, but have increased every year since, with an increase of 28.6% from 2020 to 2021, which was likely exacerbated by an interruption in treatment and prevention due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

What about 2000 to 2020? What's driving the steady rise? Wouldn't a steady 10 year rise trigger some sort of warning and "counter offensive"? Especially since the future of effective antibiotics is less assured.

Sure it will, but just because Pfizer throws this in the media. Now ever MF'er and his Moms will run to buy it...and voilà, there's the shortage...and you supported it ;-)
