Promiscuity is not a healthy lifestyle and we need to stop presenting it as one. The AIDS crisis of the 1980s should have been enough of a warning. If people don't sleep around then HPV's spread will be much reduced and they will be much less likely to catch other STIs.
If people stopped driving, we would have zero car crashes.

A better comparison would be saying that we shouldn't have seat belts because people should be driving more carefully in the first place.
This adds nothing. It has been repeatedly shown that stupid abstinence-driven approaches to public health do not work. It’s equivalent to saying “maybe the obesity crisis would be solved if we all just ate less”.
Moral crusades have zero place in public health and are actively harmful.
This isn't an abstinence driven approach it is a marry 'young' and then only that one partener for life.
What a truly sad life

That just seems like abstinence with extra steps.

The solution to covid/flu is wearing well-fitting masks and vaccines rather than never getting out.
The solution to STIs is good protection with vaccines, condoms and tests.
Religion can stay out of that.
Yeah that’s a moral crusade. It’s a public health issue; you deal with it through public health measures like education, vaccination, and treatment. You don’t make it go away by wagging your finger at it.
