The US stopped doing health screenings because keeping people out “just because” they had AIDS was insensitive.

[Steely Tom]

It wasn’t fair for us to have so few diseases.

[BenLurkin]

Churchill was right. The world is headed into a new Dark Age.

Soon to be 7 and 8. Anthrax and Small Pox.

Minor correction: Bubonic Plague was not eradicated from the US. It’s endemic in certain animal populations. With modern hygiene, infections have become rare, although they do still happen on occasion.

Person-to-person transmission was practically eliminated. That might be what’s picking up. But the disease itself has been here the whole time.

The new gods of the mindless left are Tolerance and Equality. The left cares not that this comes at the cost of sickness and death.

And, lest we forget, we have some of our own to thank for this as well. Jorge Busho and family, our RINO Congress, et al.

[Rapscallion]

Until recently, most Americans believed these diseases were gone from our shores for good.

Not under Obama's transformation to reduce America.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I bet you thought when he said “Fundamental transformation begins today” that he was talking about something GOOOOOOD.

Email this to every friend or relative who WHINES about how you don’t want dirty foreigners in the nation.

“Cause I don’t want you do DIE from this disease, that’s why!”

Measles, mumps and whooping cough is a result of lower vaccination rates in “crunchy” US populations. scarlet fever is from strep, which is endemic. If there is higher rates of scarlet fever it’s from low information parents not taking their kids in soon enough or not making sure all medicine is taken completely, not just until they feel better. And bubonic plague is endemic to rodent populations, particularly in the American west, there are always several cases a year because people stupidly forget that rodents are destructive, disease carrying vermin that need to be exterminated at every opportunity.

Only Tuberculosis can be laid at refugee/illegal immigration’s door.

They've brought bedbugs with them too...

I just started a job at medical center. I am nowhere near the patients, unless I pass them as I stroll to my workplace.

In order to complete my application I had to get more vaccines than my daughter had to get when she went to Haiti. As this is a hospital that focuses on the poor, everyone needs to make sure they don’t get what comes through to front door.

"6. Bubonic Plague"

That has nothing to do with people moving from one country to another so much with international business and politics. It has more to do with NIMBYs in western U.S. states pretending to be animal worshipers in hopes that their neighbors will be killed by diseases in animals.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

[Art in Idaho]

A delusion is a false belief.

Dems are killing us with politically correct false beliefs.

Dems are mentally ill for starters. Extreme dems have a delusional psychotic disorder.

Extreme dems in power are a national security risk and a danger to all Americans.

Pray for America and prepare.
