[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Between 2003 and 2015, the state has recorded 77 cases of active tuberculosis in Vermont. Of those, the Health Department says just 15 were diagnosed in refugees. 26 of the cases were in U.S.-born individuals. The remainder were in people who fell into other categories, like people living in Vermont on student or work visas.

I think I will spend summer vacation elsewhere.

Vermont : Active TB Update

[Paine in the Neck]

But the CDC has their Top.Men. working on VT’s dangerously lax gun laws.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

All part of Obama’s “fairness doctrine.”

I just knew those filthy Mooslimbs had cooties!

Just say NO to cooties.

I wonder if the 26 cases of TB in U.S. born individuals were Americans who caught TB from “refugees.”

Let them live in Bernie’s garage

[GingisK]

Get them a job in the food industry as soon as possible. Why are our leaders trying to kill us?

[Texan]

Way back when Ellis Island was the gateway for immigrants to the U.S., they checked them for diseases and wouldn’t let people with TB etc. in. Now measles, TB and what looked like polio are re-appearing.

[The Great RJ]

Understand a single person with active TB means that everybody who came in close contact with that individual will likely need a year of anti tubercular medications and those with any contact need to have a TB skin test. Imagine in a school the number of people who would need to be tested and treated if only one of these active TB cases were a student. More frightening would be if even one of these active TB cases were not detected.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is VERY expensive to cure someone of active TB. They must take an antibiotic for several months and a health worker must physically administer and observe the patient taking the dose in person.

Obama, the gift that keeps on giving.

How is the People’s Republic of Vermont dealing with this? More Kumbya, candlelight vigils, ????

When ‘the little people die’ - - and our children are infected - - liberal elites won’t care...

How can that be?

Liberal elites FEEL good about themselves because THEY BELIEVE in “˜diversity - - for US. Not for them- they live in up-scale white neighborhoods.. but diversity for us - the great unwashed - the people they look down on...

“The people” - the little people - can watch their children die on the alter of the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS... oops - I mean on the alter of ‘diversity’... Liberal elites like the extra money CHEAP LABOR gives them...makes ‘em happy.

Holy cow.
