  1. 4CMenB? They need to rename it GoneOrrhea? Its so obvious

  2. > The vaccine is an existing jab, known as 4CMenB, that is used against the meningococcal B disease,

    Is this a case where they found out the Meningitis B vaccine also had partial effectiveness against the clap?

    > Studies by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) suggest the 4CMenB vaccine has between 32.7% to 42% effectiveness against gonorrhoea, and while vaccination would slash the risk of becoming infected it would not eliminate it completely.

    Judging from the article, it won’t infer complete immunity, but will increase resistance (30-40%) effective. Which seems low by vaccine standards but better than nothing, as long as that’s not misunderstood

    Which is good because I do feel antibiotics, things like PrEP, etc had led to lower use of condoms, and antibiotic resistance is becoming a worry now, even with things like Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.

  3. Here today, gon tomorrow.

    Gonorrhoea infection doesn’t confer immunity, the long term effects are very nasty, and the bug is becoming resistant to a lot of antibiotics, so this is a huge breakthrough. Maybe we can tell the nasty little diplococcus “you’re a gonorrhoea”…

  4. That’s gonna stop half the natives of my old town of Mansfield walking funny overnight!

  5. Never trust anyone who can spell Gonorrhoea on the the first try…I mean gonarea!

  6. “Eligible patients will be identified and offered hepatitis mpox and hpv”

    Ergo, the gays.

    And I’ll be first in line 😂

  7. The serial shaggers in society can finally rejoice. 

  8. Trial it in Barnsley. If you can rid Barnsley folk of the clap you can rid anyone.

  9. Sell it to the Yanks for double…no triple to fund Socialism. We do that apparently.

  10. Glad to hear that Gonorrhoea will be a gonner ‘ere.

  11. Some die of drinking whiskey and some of drinking beer,

    And some of diabetes and some of diarrhoea.

    But of all the world’s diseases there’s none that can compare

    With the steady drip of a syphilitic tip and the British Gonorrhoea.

  12. Next the Daily Express and The Daily Mail will be telling us it’s a bad thing.

  13. Can’t catch it without having sex. Checkmate gonorrhea

  14. Clearly they’ve heard about my pokemon-esque challenge to catch them all.

    Damn bastards

  15. If this works, I’m going to lay so much nasty pipe.
