They were just interviewing this guy, who was on an aircraft coming from Mexico....He said there were all kinds of kids hacking and coughing on the plane....Didn't catch were the plane was headed.

Of course it could have just been common colds...

I thought people coming from third world countries had to have documentation of vaccines, tb tests, etc.

“The dirty secret is that the uptick in contraction of infectious diseases is largely due to the fact that we no longer screen immigrants coming into the country. Kind of hard when illegals don’t go through proper channels.”

That’s what scares me about eating out.

*TB had been eradicated in the US until homosexuals—AIDS patients—brought it back.*

Not necessarily. All it takes is for people to not complete their course of medication, then you’ve got a potentially mutated strain running amok.

*There are a few idiot parents who won’t have their children vaccinated, but the likely reservoir of disease is illegal alien children.*

One of the major infection grounds of all these diseases that were thought to have been eliminated are COLLEGES and UNIVERSITIES? Surely, even the most ignorant among you cannot possibly state with a straight face that’s the fault of illegal immigrants.

A good portion of of this is indeed hippie’s kids. The same thing happened in the late 60s with bacterial infections, for the same reasons.

The rest of the clowns are claiming that this is another 3-in-1 vaccine that needs to be administered individually. I’m sure some clown has a patented single-dose pertussis vaccine ready to go.

Correct. Per Wikipedia:

“There are a number of known factors that make people more susceptible to TB infection: worldwide the most important of these is HIV. Co-infection with HIV is a particular problem in Sub-Saharan Africa, due to the high incidence of HIV in these countries.”

The whooping cough vaccine is not a 100% guarantee against the disease. Kids need to get a series of 4 or such shots before they get to school-age. Adults need to make sure they get this with their tetanus booster. Illegals simply need to get lost.

Sure was that way, and it had to be from a US Government approved MD too.
