Four refugees sent to Indiana by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement in 2015 were diagnosed with active tuberculosis once they arrived in the Hoosier State, according to the Indiana Department of Health.
Active tuberculosis (TB) is infectious, while so-called “latent TB” is not infectious. But 10 percent of those infected with latent TB develop active infectious TB.
In 2015, almost 400 migrants with latent TB settled in Indiana, according to state records. The state’s TB rate had declined for the 54 years up to 2010, but is now increasing as more migrants settle in the state. ... More significantly, even those very few refugees who are screened overseas and test positive for LTBI are allowed to enter the United States without receiving treatment. “Persons with latent TB infection are referred for treatment and follow-up in the U.S.,” the CDC spokesperson tells Breitbart News.
“This process is a joint partnership between CDC and state and local health departments,” the spokesperson adds.
But only 77 percent of the 1,885 refugees resettled in Indiana in 2015 completed post-arrival medical screenings. It was among those screened that the four cases of active TB were detected. ... Breitbart News is currently reviewing documents and reports from the CDC and state and local departments of health from around the country which suggest the problem of resettled refugees arriving with active TB may extend far beyond the borders of the Hoosier State.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
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...
That’s Obama’s government...really doing a bang-up job vetting these “refugees”....
That's ONE state in ONE year.
The Obamatollah has been ILLEGALLY dumping people with a plethora of diseases among us since he was voted in by the left and their welfare voting base. Polio, TB, Chagas disease, leprosy, Zika, Ebola.....the list goes on.
He should be in PRISON, not on the golf course.
The political elite are also responsible because they did NOTHING to try to stop him.
The news media is responsible too for covering it up.
Hey according to Jeb Bush, getting TB is just an “Act of love”
The company I work for gets 4-5 cases a year because we hire from Asia and a temp agency that deals with Asians and Somalis.
Nice. Eh?
Pure evil.
The crazy idea that Asians are healthy works scientifically like global warming.
That, and the fish heads and guts that they heat up in the microwaves that clear the cafeteria and surrounding buildings...
I was coughing and breaking ribs in 1966. Milwaukee General finally diagnosed me with TB. Locked me in a ward for 6 months before they finally figured out I had non contagious TB from gardening. I lost everything. But I had to take meds for more than a year.
The U.S. is not the worlds medical center.
This bull sh*t of importing diseased/infected foreigners onto out shores needs to be stopped.
I’m actually surprised that sexual deviants (the only winners under Obama) haven’t ended this; they are VERY vulnerable with their compromised immune systems.
Then again, they don’t seem to oppose trafficking Muslims here either, and they’re bad for deviants’ health as well...
Spread them out, get them transferred to all states, to all points in the U.S. Nice chain immigration policies the D.C. lawyer politicians came up with.
Brilliant plan.
Get em outta here!
The DiC wants to turn us into the third world
No one in the CDC or the “US” Congress give a damn
about anyone else in the USA.
These infections were directed by the authorities
who directed this infectious Quartering to
murder future generations of Americans.
THIS WAS TREASON.
