Didn't know it was such a problem...

The way I see it: if we can get rid of a disease, then why the hell not? Is gonorrhea doing anything for us by swimming through the population?

Rampant when I was growing up. Most people have had it. Some of my dirtier pals, dozens of times.

Awesome! One less disease to worry about

This probably won't eliminate it, the efficacy is below 80%, but this will knock it down a peg or two, and it uses an existing vaccine, which saves money :)

That might actually be enough to drive the disease out of existence .

That is, of course, if religious backward countries would implement this too, but the US won't, for sure, because they won't allow people sexual freedom again soon.
