MDR TB is not always curable, and requires long and expensive treatment.

Active TB that is not drug resistant can be cured with four drugs over nine months at a cost of $17,000 per patient.

MDR TB requires 20 to 26 months of treatment at a cost of $150,000 per patient.

Refugees in Wisconsin accounted for six of the seven MDR TB cases diagnosed in the Badger State during 2014 and 2015; all four diagnosed in 2015, and two of the three diagnosed in 2014, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

As Breitbart News reported previously, the number of active TB cases diagnosed in Wisconsin increased by 40 percent last year, from 48 in 2014 to 69 in 2015.

Fantastic “vetting” they have there.

A simple blood test before they are allowed to even break the border.

“The high rate of active TB–and now MDR TB–among Wisconsin’s resettled refugees has become a hot political issue in the Badger State this election cycle.

‘Businessman Paul Nehlen, who is challenging Speaker Paul Ryan for the GOP nomination in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District, is blaming Ryan for the problem.

“A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote to bring more TB to Wisconsin’s First Congressional District,” Nehlen told Breitbart News earlier.

Polio will also come back.
Some Muslims are against polio immunization.

One might get the impression the current regime is now actively trying to kill its own citizens.
