Excellent research in this article.

The irony is Progressivism got its first big boost to big government through mandatory vaccination and control of disease.

What we really need to stop is the travesty of “slats” as a wall. Undoubtedly the recommendation of a drug lord (likely Chapo, at least) bought off border patrol union. But the idea that slats, which agents on our side can readily be shot from/through, are safer than the solid concrete and rebar wall that Trump campaigned on is on its face ridiculous. Slats mean that drugs and other contraband can be smartly and readily passed from anywhere along the border.

“In saner times, American authorities understood the problem and took common sense measures to fight the spread of the disease.”

Similar to the lack of action when AIDS first hit the scene. Rather than take the politically incorrect position of admitting the disease was spread primarily by gay sex, it was allowed to run rampant. At some point, it was promoted as spread primarily by heterosexuals. This enabled tainted blood to get into the blood supply used for operations, killing many, who were non-gay. Arthur Ashe and Isaac Asimov, are two examples. Everett Koop did a mighty dis-service to the American people when thousands of deaths could have been averted.

Funny, I thought that liberals would blame Typhus on people not having vaccines.

[Morpheus2009]

The politically correct people want slats so that border patrol can see the poor migrants on the other side needing help.

AIDs was not allowed to run rampant. My wife and I were in SF in 83-84 when the “gays” ran riot over the town because CDC had come in and closed the bathhouses. By riot, I mean burning buildings and cars, threatening to kill people, etc. Reagan was so flummoxed by the insanity that he agreed to remove the restrictions, not understanding what was really going on in the streets.

The gays killed themselves because they could not control their lusts to allow the disease to die.

Thanks to San Fransisco, one can be exposed to bubonic plague anywhere in the western US.

In 1900 there was a plague outbreak in Chinatown. A local doctor detected that outbreak and reported it to the city, along with rat catching and general hygiene and public health measures.

The fine people in city hall, like those in the 70's simply refused to believe there was a plague outbreak in their fair city.

They blocked any effort to stop the spread of the disease. Then it spread to the local ground squirrel population and escaped the slums to everywhere in the west.

San Fransisco learned nothing from the bitter lessons of the past when a gay plague broke out barely 7 decades later.

Thanks guys.

"If you want to stop a medieval disease, you might want to start with a medieval wall. "

Quote of the century.

Texas saw a surge of typhus cases between 2008 and 2016. And the cases have been heavily concentrated in counties with high illegal populations. But officials insist on blaming ‘global warming’.

Every time you believe liberals can't be 'that stupid' they come up with something like the above...

[Jacquerie]

? Go back to 1913.

[marktwain]

Yes, that was the era where Progressivism really started taking hold.

Bring back DDT.

While DDT wouldn't stop illegal invaders, it would reduce the flea population.

Let’s wait until all of City Hall has typhus, please...

[LucyT]

Are City Hall ignoring the problem as a method of culling the unwashed masses?

Wikipedia:

The following signs and symptoms refer to epidemic typhus as it is the most important of the typhus group of diseases.[9]

Signs and symptoms begin with sudden onset of fever, and other flu-like symptoms about one to two weeks after being infected.[10] Five to nine days after the symptoms have started, a rash typically begins on the trunk and spreads to the extremities. This rash eventually spreads over most of the body, sparing the face, palms, and soles.

Signs of meningoencephalitis begin with the rash and continue into the second or third weeks. Other signs of meningoencephalitis include sensitivity to light (photophobia), altered mental status (delirium), or coma. - Untreated cases are often fatal.

Beginning in 2018, a typhus outbreak has spread through Los Angeles primarily affecting homeless people.[37]

In 2019 city attorney Elizabeth Greenwood revealed that she too was infected with typhus as a result of a flea bite at her office in Los Angeles City Hall.[38]

The fake Hispanic Beto hasn’t done anything to stop typhus in his home city.
