Dr. Sam Bailey: What We Weren't Taught About Gonorrhea

Credit to Dr. Sam Bailey

Sexually transmitted "infections" are supposed to be irrefutable evidence of germ theory.
Even some terrain theorists can be a bit uneasy talking about STIs.
So I thought I'd take on one of the most famous of them all...Gonorrhea AKA "The Clap".
I found some eye-watering human experiments from the 1940s and analyze the spin the CDC put on the results to dial up the fear.
