Between 2012 and 2015, 1,565 refugees were diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) in the United States,
according to annual reports published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The CDC data, which has been public but obscure until now, shows that
the number of refugees diagnosed with active TB
in recent years is more than three times greater than previously reported by any media outlet.( Emphasis Mine )

The number of refugees diagnosed with TB in the United States has increased every year since 2012,
the first year the CDC began publishing data on foreign-born cases of the disease by category,
when 358 were diagnosed.
In 2013, 396 refugees were diagnosed with TB. and in 2015, the number of refugees diagnosed with TB rose again to 409.
Data for 2016 has not yet been reported.

Until Breitbart News discovered the public, but effectively hidden, CDC reports, the scale of the TB problem among refugees was underreported by more than 1,000 cases over recent years – off by a factor of more than three.

The number of refugees resettled annually in the United States increased from 58,238 in FY 2012 to 69,933 in FY 2015, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

The number of refugees resettled in FY 2016 increased to 84,995, according to the Department of State’s interactive website.
During the first three months of FY 2017, the number of refugees resettled in the country increased to 25,671,
almost double the 13,791 resettled during the first three months of FY 2016.

Individual State rates of obscured reported cases of TB are broken down at the Brietbart news source web site.

Okay, fine, CDC, what are you doing about it? Has the liar been fired? Have the diseased been removed from the country?

I wonder if screening for TB is part of the “thorough” vetting touted by nobama?

Hopefully it will be under Trump.

The intent of massive illegal immigration is Cloward-Piven, that is, to overwhelm the system, create chaos, until the system breaks down.
The correct response to this created debacle should be to re-establish Ellis Island, with medical interdiction for migrants.
The disturbing fact is that many of the State reports were submitted to the CDC, and the information was obscured and undereported by the CDC.
See my tagline.

Let me guess - liberal ‘elites’ in government lie to us so we won’t object to them flooding the country with illegals they use to prop up their power...

Illegals ARE democrats...

I watched a documentary last night on refugees. I have to admit it makes my heart ache. Yeah, I know. It was supposed to. But I believe Trump feels compassion for them too. There has to be a way to better bet them. And safe zones in their home countries.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

I knew the figures were larger, for the TB as well as the number of “immigrants,” who have been sent here with Ovomit’s full knowledge, to kill America.

This information just ticks me off even more than I was already. Get rid of these leeches!

I got TB tests as a kid back in the 60’s because I lived overseas a lot. Now, because I was exposed to a friend who got TB somehow, I had to get tested twice in 2 months. Fortunately it was negative but this disease was eradicated in the USA until obunghole let all the refugees and illegals in. He should be given the active disease so he can feel like crap for 3 months to a year providing he lives through it.

During that time he can be tried and convicted of treason where he will be sentenced to...
