NEW YORK (AP) — The number of U.S. tuberculosis cases in 2023 were the highest in a decade, according to a new government report.

Forty states reported an increase in TB, and rates were up among all age groups, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. More than 9,600 cases were reported, a 16% increase from 2022 and the highest since 2013.

Why has TB suddenly resurfaced?

We may never know.

I vaguely remember smallpox vaccine and the bumpy, circular scar it left.

Are those Covid doctors baffled? They were not that bright before and now they are probably on the CDC and FDA and really baffled now.

Was that a vaccine or a test? I remember it being called a TB Test with that 3 or 4 pronged thing but, yeah, it was 50 years ago, so... And then they’d check the site some time later for a reaction. Not in the hand though, it was on the arm, I think the forearm above the hand.

The 1890s / early 1900s were a time of massive immigration from Europe through Ellis Island NYC. This is often held out as the ideal by current year Democrats. For one thing, the requirement for official papers was negligible.

But you must ask this question. Why were they "processed" at Ellis Island instead of disembarking at the West Side docks like the first class passengers?

The answer -- To identify them, issue them official papers, and above all sort out the "undesirables" who were immediately deported on the next boat back to where they embarked. One thing they did to identify undesirableness was test for TB.

Get the picture?

You have a point, the butch nurses were checking our arms.

South American illegal slags their own countries wouldn’t treat. We don’t even scan for stuff like that...

Coming in from the southern border. We’re under a biological attack from the south.

Thank the Obozo/Biden administration for open borders allowing unvetted illegals to roam the Country freely.

TB is bad stuff.

We used to quarantine those with TB.

We moved to Arkansas in 1970. The little town had a TB center Just south. It closed a year or two earlier.

It was huge, mostly land. Hundreds of square miles.

They were self sufficient completely. They grew their own food with farming and animals. Generated their own power mostly.

Square miles of land they had were given to the Boy Scouts.

It was in Booneville.
