while attention was on COVID-19
And why is that?
Because all the so called experts and self nominated experts saw a chance to jump into the spotlight to fire up panic and fear according to the Corona Virus.
It was the expert's chance to enter the news daily, stand in the spotlight, bring their unknown names into the mouth of the public, and spread their fearmongering BS every day,...and of course supported by the media.
And additional it was the biggest chance for vaccine maker companies to fill their pockets with cash.
And this problem is not only about Gonorrhea.
I said it in the beginning of the pandemic, that there are still many other diseases which should not be forgotten.
But these diseases didn't bring any fame or big cash anymore to the so called experts and vaccine maker companies.

Because it was a much more urgent problem with serious consequences if action was not taken immediately.
So the experts of the world are all wrong just because you think you understand better the world situation based only on your personal opinion? that is not an argument, it is at much wishful thinking.
Precise, well fundamented information is not fearmongering, at least not to people with common sense and a desire to be prepared, it may be for those that systematically fear knowledge and refuse to accept reality.
The attention to the pandemic is justified, your position is like criticizing a doctor for focusing on the hemorrhage that is killing a patient while leaving the treatment of his cancer on the side. Urgent things need to be prioritized and just expecting health services of the world to have infinite resources to deal with everything at the same time is not logical.

Unlike COVID-19, which is a new virus, gonorrhea is an ancient disease. The first known reports of gonorrhea date from China in 2600 BC, and the disease has plagued humans ever since.
So yet another disease that the world has to thank China for.

Also, early in the pandemic, many doctors prescribed antibiotics to COVID-19 patients even though antibiotics do not work on viruses like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Hmmm. Wonder WHO told the doctors to this. Thought they were supposed to be the experts. Could the experts have been wrong? And the self nominated experts who constantly make the appeal to authority?

And TB is ignored.

Doctors are told the opposite in all guidelines, unfortunately not all are well prepared and many insist on their personal experience being more reliable than what the experts can demonstrate with evidence and science.
That would be the doctors that mistakenly prescribe antibiotics, not the actual experts that repeatedly have said this is wrong.
