TB Spiked 500 Percent In Twin Falls During 2012, As Chobani Yogurt Opened Plant
Breitbart News ^ | 26 Aug 2016 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 08/26/2016 11:19:23 PM PDT by george76

The number of active TB cases in the eight county Idaho public health district that includes Twin Falls jumped 500 percent between 2011 and 2012.

One case of active TB was diagnosed in the South Central Public Health District that includes Twin Falls in 2011, and six active TB cases were diagnosed there in 2012, the year Chobani opened the world’s largest yogurt factory in the small southern Idaho city with the help of $54 million in federal, state, and local financial assistance.

That same year, 2012, the percentage of active TB cases in Idaho that were foreign-born spiked to 80 percent, or 12 out of 15, up from 50 percent in 2011, or 6 out of 12. As Breitbart News reported previously, the percentage of active TB cases in the country that are foreign-born is 66 percent.

Only six percent of Idaho’s population is foreign-born. Thirteen percent of the U.S. population is foreign-born.

...

In Nebraska, another largely rural state, where six percent of the population is foreign born, 82 percent of active TB cases diagnosed in 2014 were foreign-born. Those 2014 cases in Nebraska represented an 80 percent spike in active TB cases statewide compared to 2013. All of the increase driven came from foreign-born cases of TB. ...

Like Nebraska, Idaho has seen an increase in its foreign-born population recently, from legal and illegal Mexican immigrants, and refugees brought in to the state under the federal refugee resettlement program.

...

Breitbart News has found no evidence that local media outlets in the area – the Twin Falls Times-News, KMVT television, or the Idaho Statesman – were aware of or reported on the significant increase in active TB cases diagnosed in the Twin Falls area between 2012 and 2014.

Yeah, but I would blame this on Obama ... the US gov’t for placing these people here, knowingly.

Unfortunately, he (Ulukaya) doesn’t “hire local” from the Twin Falls area...but he needed the local dairy farm output...so the local dairy farmers like it I suppose:

” with the help of $54 million in federal, state, and local financial assistance.”

Why do “certain” companies get the largesse, while most are taxed, regulated, harassed to the point they cannot function, much less prosper?

Having 2 fathers, both devout Muslims, Buraq Hussein Obama is transparent. Less than 10% are jihadists, but all others are sympathizers. Osama Bin Laden has almost 90% approval in Pakistan.

Noosa is an American yogurt made by a Colorado farmer in partnership with some Aussie chick who developed the unique flavor that is subtly buttery . If you’re into the high end stuff but don’t want to support the jihadis over at Chobani, give Noosa a try.

Made it a point not to support any moslem owned business decades ago. Also avoid doing any business with democrats, commies/socialists and other bottom feeders.

It's called "crony capitalism" otherwise know as "corruption".

As soon as my household found out about Chobani, it was forbidden for purchase.
