One of every five refugees resettled in Minnesota by the federal government tested positive for latent tuberculosis in 2014, ...
More than 70,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States annually for the past three decades by the federal government. Its not just tuberculosis being brought in by these resettled refugees. Measles, whooping cough, diptheria, and other diseases that were on their way to eradication are also coming in across the borders of the United States.
A recent outbreak of measles in Memphis, Tennessee, a center for refugee resettlement, began at a local mosque, ...
The alarming public health report from Minnesota comes on the heels of news from the Centers for Disease Control that in 2015, the incidence of tuberculosis in the United States increased.
The CDC is still trying to determine the reason for the uptick.
Tuberculosis (TB) has surpassed HIV as the leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide, the Minnesota Department of Health reports.
Treatment for tuberculosis is long and expensive.
Care also involves communication and cultural challenges.
The cost of treating an active TB case that is susceptible or responsive to drugs averages $17,000, according to the CDC. Care of patients with drug-resistant TB, which can result from taking antibiotics prescribed before TB was properly diagnosed, costs many times more: $134,000 for a multidrug-resistant patient and $430,000 for an extensively drug-resistant one
An alternative public health policyone that the United States used for decades in the latter part of the nineteenth century and early twentieth centuryis to test immigrants and refugees for infectious disease before they are allowed into the country.
In that earlier era, those who tested positive were sent home. Today, however, many are welcomed in and pose a risk of infecting the rest of the American population.

And thats just TB.

Infectious Bacteriologically At Risk Widows and Orphans
I can still see the TB Testing trailers in the grocery store parking lots when I was growing up in the 60’s. They were everywhere and we Whipped Tuberculosis. Now we have been Importing Drug resistant TB for 30 years and seem hell bent on Killing as Many Americans as we can in the name of Tolerance.
Tolerance:
The Virtue of having a belief in NOTHING!
This essentially returns that area to the turn of the last century, i.e. early 20th Century, as to the potential health status of many individuals. Of course, that means the larger population is at greater risk. The way it was dealt with then was seclusion at a remote sanitarium.
I can still remember having to take a TB tine skin test in junior high in the late 60s.
What percent are on welfare?
Someday soon, someone who has lost a loved one due to the greed and negligence of elected officials is going to “share their pain” with the dictators who treat us like cattle.
Didn’t they used to require TB tests to work in a restraunts?
What percent are on welfare?
110%
Ten percent died but they’re still voting and still getting welfare.
Why is the US government waging biological warfare against its own people?
Paying for it yes. Also getting sick and dying for it.
more evidence that obama is waging biological warfare on us.
1. we should not be admitting very many immigrants while we are mired in one of the worst economic depressions of our entire history...
2. we should not be admitting Moslems, we need to repatriate the ones Obama’s already brought in here before they are able to carry out their takeover plan
3. but if we are admitting them...... why the HELL aren’t they checked over medically? When OUR forebearers came here, each and every one of them had to go through a medical examination and physical fitness evaluation.... and TB carriers were routinely sent home
O is invading USA with his IslamoNazi young men AND with serious medical diseases at the very same time! (And at OUR taxpayer expense, too.... that never used to be how it was done, either....Immigrants had to have a job or an American pledge to support them....)
Thanks you open-borders morons. I hope you and your extended families catch these diseases.
My father died of TB in 1938.
I still test positive for the tine test even after all of those years.
My mother,brother,and I never got the disease.

The average IQ in Somalia is 68. Welcome to the new Minnesota.
