MODERATORS
Canada has mandatory screening (and treatment) of migrants. AFAIK the US doesn't but 96% choose to be screened anyway.

This isn't a migrant issue. It's a homegrown issue. (And if you want to blame foreigners, US citizens seem like a more likely culprit given skyrocketing US rates of infection and poor health care availiability/affordability)
Also, there is no vaccine against syphilis.
