our open borders??

[dforest]

Duh? Any other answer is BS. Do our wonderful leaders care? Nope. They live in gated communities.

[pfflier]

Another disease, not mentioned, is polio. So the question is;

Are third world diseases coming to US or are we reverting to the third world?

[BarbM]

I believe they are called ILLEGAL AILENS.

cant we call a spade a spade? And no, this is not racist.
can’t we call an ice rake an ice rake?

Biggest source of contagion is parents who make their sick kids go to school, or companies who penalize for absences, making workers feel like they have no choice but to go to work....

True. I worked at one job where I came in sick and the lady who ran the office kicked me out and told me to go home until I felt better. Where I work at, I do my best to have perfect attendance so save up points so I can use them when I'm sick. I had 11 points but down to 8.5 because I had the flu real bad a few weeks ago. It took me 2 days to basically fast and 3 to break my fever, I hate to call off several days but I had to, I was so sick, I had to keep a few steps from the bathroom plus I could not keep awake for long. People need to take time and rest when they are ill.

[trisham]

Both.

Infecting American children with dangerous diseases is an act of love.

Jeb's grandkids are safe, however, in their private school.

[Little Ray]

Americans traveling to foreign countries tend to have had their vaccinations.

[Bernard Marx]

You left out the Koch brothers.

I'm going to go with What are ignorant celebrities and illegal aliens for $500 Alex, oh wait is that double jeopardy?

[Gaffer]

Yep, illegal aliens. Has to be.

[detective]

Illegals and sexual promiscuity are the main causes.

[Prolixus]

1. HIV infections
2. Illegal immigration
3. Anti-vaccination hysteria.

[1rudeboy]

Except for ones who are “not vaccinated over fears that such vaccines are linked to autism,” according to the article, and from all the accounts I’ve read about in the past.

[wku man]

Is Haliburton too 2004 to be included?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[willywill]

“90-95% of the U.S. population is immune to diseases”

true, except for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autism, lupus, crohns, etc etc etc. but no measles or mumps.

[Ray76]

Uninspected foreigners - illegal aliens

[Grams A]

Maybe with a cold, flu or similar illness but we’re talking about major diseases. Millions of illegals and more pouring over our Texas border every minute. Bet not a one of them has had a vaccination for anything.

[Little Ray]

That is a relatively small number.
All I know is that when I travel abroad, I get a bunch of vaccinations renewed, even if it is to a first world country.
