A spokesperson for the Vermont Department of Health confirms to Breitbart News that “three refugees [have been] diagnosed with TB in Vermont over the past seven months.”

One case was diagnosed in December 2015, and the other two cases were diagnosed in 2016.

No one other than a refugee has been diagnosed with active TB in Vermont during the first six months of 2016, the spokesperson adds.

The stunning admission comes after Breitbart News reported that the number of active TB cases in Vermont tripled from two in 2014 to seven in 2015.

“In 2015 Active TB Cases were seven. This included one refugee, three foreign born and three U.S. born. In 2016 (YTD) there were two Active TB cases in refugees,” Charon Goldwyn, Chief of Operations, Records Officer for the Vermont Department of Health tells Breitbart News.

During the four years beginning in 2012 and ending in 2015, 1,301 refugees have been resettled in Vermont. One Vermont publication reports that 6,300 refugees were resettled in the state in the twenty five years between 1989 and 2014, about one percent of the state’s population of 632,000.

Assuming an estimated refugee population of about 6,300, the annualized rate of TB among resettled refugees in Vermont over the past seven months is approximately 85 per 100,000, high even for a third-world country. This contrasts dramatically with the rate of TB in all of Vermont in 2014, which was approximately 0.3 per 100,000 (two cases out of a population of 626,562 in 2014).

ACTIVE TB - Vermont

What happened to screening for infectious diseases before someone is admitted into the country?

so why were these not caught before landing in the US( not saying I agree with any refugees in America)??

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Karliner :" so why were these not caught before landing in the US ..."

Because we are not using ELLIS ISLAND as a medical evaluation station.

[Karliner]

Agree on Ellis. I used to be a nurse and the odd thing I can never figure except for political reasons was( retired) why we could isolate TB and other diseases but let AID’s run rampant. Off topic though, wish there was something we could do but no one is listening anymore.

Not like the olden days.

Thanks to Obama importing tens of thousands of 'refugees' (colonists, future jihadists) against our will- and distributing them all across America, we're exposed to third world diseases, murder and rape from these inbred savages. Nowhere in America are we safe anymore.

Hillary will continue Obama's open borders, amnesty and has vowed to bring in more 'refugees'. She will assure Obama's third term. Obama has almost destroyed us, and Hillary will finish the job.

Anyone who, out of anger that their Republican candidate was not chosen and refuses to vote, votes third party or 'write in' is casting a vote for Hillary.

FACT

We MUST make this the biggest Republican voter turnout in history! We MUST. We all know the Democrats will use every trick in their dirty book to win- voter fraud; such as 'immigrants' Obama has imported by the tens of thousands will be granted the right to vote. The only way we can ever hope to win and overcome Democratic voter fraud IS GET OUT AND VOTE!

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME!
