A year or two ago there was some discussion and a bit of reporting on the resurgence of TB cases in the U.S.A.

The raw numbers seemed to cluster around areas with large illegal alien populations.

But then the reporting seemed to stop, and (as I recall) there was some problem with the CDC numbers or the epidemiology because country-of-origin/immigration status of the victims was not recorded, or perhaps simply withheld by the CDC due to some bogus “privacy” concerns (i.e., releasing non-identified stats on TB status, sex, nationality, and immigration status are not remote “privacy” issues by any conceivable federal statute).

I don’t recall all the details, just that there was some reporting, and then it stopped.

Very similar to the extreme and very dangerous hesitance of CDC to identify Mexican jalapenos and serrano peppers as the source of last year’s salmonella outbreak.

While it was crystal clear from the very get-go that the problem centered around Hispanic food, the CDC never to my recollection was honest enough to say that most (all?) of the early victims were themselves Hispanic, e.g. Mexicans in America.

You could get all of that from reading between the lines (it was fairly obvious), but it was like reading some controlled-press Commie propaganda broadsheet where you have to divine the truth through innuendo and guessing.

N-i-c-e take---desrves a repeat.

And the answer is ....(taa-daa----drum roll please)..............political correctness.

Mexican peppers were to blame---but the CDC decimated the livelihood of a huge crop of US tomato growers before the CDC was brave enough to utter the words "Mexico did it."

Third World here we come.

The reporting has stopped, but I have a friend who works in the L S school system.
TB there is still a problem.

You raise legitimate points, but it's kinda hard to blame Mexican immigrants on this crap when all the evidence seems to indicate that it was brought back here from Mexico by American high school students.

For the life of me, I never understood why anyone would travel to a Third World sh!t-hole for vacation.
