Looks like Kora and Mister Peabody went to the CDC on or before August 23rd.... They sure didn't wait too long.

On August 23rd, Mister Peabody said:

True, I use the word 'virus' in a general way but Syphallis is not a virus.

And I'm getting my threads mixed up, too. LOL In others people were saying how it's "better to be safe than sorry" when it comes to taking these shots. But again i say if you don't have Syphallis then getting a shot will not prevent it and could cause you more problems in the future...

Anyway, we did call the CDC directly and they said that they will be investigating this issue. They also said no Industry should be "policing itself" in cases like this.

The problem, as if it needs to be stated but I'll state it anyway, is that sex workers - many of whom escort - can spread Syphallis MUCH quicker than if it were a case of a "civilian" coming down with this. Shit, most performers escort, do parties, private shoots, on and on, so this could spread like wildfire especially if people think going back to work after 7-10 days means they're healed (which they aren't; 90 days to be safe).
The real risk is that some government entity steps in (LA County, CalOSHA, CDC, ?) and declares a moratorium on production and just never lifts it. This is a real possibility. Outside of APHSS, there is no industry-wide plan to address the problem. And, without APHSS, we might have already been shut down.

I urge you all to support APHSS's efforts whether you agree with all the details or not, meet the required protocols, and get greenlighted so we can get back to work.

Haters gonna hate. And, they were hating long before this outbreak.

But, the APHSS didn't cause this outbreak.

Just my opinion.
