A startling 50% of migrants streaming into the Big Apple are not vaccinated against the contagious and potentially deadly poliovirus, city Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan recently revealed — as he urged doctors to help prevent a public health emergency, The Post has learned.
Vasan also said the new migrants come from, or pass through, countries with high rates of infectious tuberculosis — and noted there’ve been outbreaks of chickenpox in shelters housing the newcomers.
“More than 50,000 people have come to New York City (NYC) in the past year shortly after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. As more people arrive and many make NYC their home, the scale and scope of need continues to grow,” Vasan said in an eight-page letter, dated April 11, sent to physicians and other health care providers. A copy was obtained by The Post. “I am writing now to underscore how critical it is that health care providers take a wide range of considerations into account when working with people who are seeking asylum … The scope of this letter represents the scale of the need. It is incumbent upon us as a welcoming city to comprehensively evaluate and meet these needs.”

They are already upset with unvaxxed Orthodox Jews in NY.
The anti vaxxers are about to find out what happens in an unvaccinated populace. My parents and grandparents remember why vaccines are a blessing. The rest of the country is going to figure it out. Remember when going to the swimming pool on the summer was risking paralysis and death?
Are all vaccines the same? Isn’t the U.S. more than 80% vaccinated?
And likely not a lot of other things as well.
And I wonder just how many of the illegals kids who are in public school attend without having the meet the vaccination requirements US citizens do.
Good. Clearly we in Texas need to ship even more ‘migrants’ to NYC so Noo Yawk can more thoroughly understand the problems that unregulated immigration is bringing.
Well, NYC better embrace the suck. They voted for this.
What a broad brush you paint with. Because we aren’t for an experimental gene therapy shot that they had to alter the dam definition of what a “vaccine” is to call it that, we are against all vaccines.
Incredible denseness.
They carry a mental diseases much worse than Polio. One that makes them vote Democrat!( Or least makes them easy prey for Democrats to vote for them.) Communism is the ultimate killer!
Well with 20,000 reported illegals waiting at the border right now to get in once Biden again gives the green flag you can bet all the bugs and diseases they’ll be bringing with them are waiting to get in as well.

Walking bio weapons?
Well, yes, many of you are. Just look at the number who promote the far Left conspiracist RFK Jr., for example.
And that nonsense isn't any more true than the first time you said it.
We are having a HUGE outbreak of TB in CA. JEEZE wonder WHY!!! I look for ALL KINDS of what had been eradicated diseases in this nation to start popping up EVERYWHERE!!
You are the one exhibiting denseness. I’m speaking of those that worship
at the mercola altar and spew that all vaccines and medical people are evil. I said antivaxxers not anti covid vaxxers. But to a subset of people here everything is about the covid vax….
And MomMD mentioned nothing COVID19. Everything said was related specifically to the polio issue.
Cheering will be intense on here. I bet we’ll see a few high fives.
Before this ends, if it ever does, we’re going to see this ‘invasion’ take a toll on this country people haven’t a clue what it will cost them.
You earned it. You should wear it proudly. Don’t go weak now.
