TB, Measles, and The Plague Coming in Over Our Southern Border

[longknife]

Of all the reports and rants about illegal immigration, this is the least reported. We spent decades ridding this country of such diseases and now they're coming back due to those sneaking across our borders. Or even being allowed in by the Obama administration.

Attack the source all you want. You can't refute the statistics or the links.

The returning diseases are;



1. Tuberculosis

2. Measles

3. Whooping Cough

4. Mumps

5. Scarlet Fever

6. Bubonic Plague



The near eradication of these diseases in the United States during the twentieth century was a remarkable accomplishment of American civilization. Until recently, most Americans believed these diseases were gone from our shores for good.

Be very very afraid. Be too afraid in fact to live in a free and open society. Police state, it's the safe way to be. "Conservatives" for small govt brought you this anxious message.

Meh - that is what vaccine's are for. If you are really worried about such illnesses then you get vaccinated.

 

[OldLady]

TB is back because it has become resistant to the antibiotics used to treat it. Measles is on the rise because dopey parents think they're protecting their kids by not immunizing them. I do find the article's "facts" questionable. Read it more carefully.

 

[Desperado]

Nothing new, the immigrants from the Carribean have been re-introducing those diseases to South Florida for years now!

Don't you ever feel embarressed by your dishonest titles?

While Mexico is indeed one of the 5 countries that TB is coming from- most of the TB patients in the United States are Asian
After 20 years of decline, tuberculosis inches up in U.S.

And Measles?

There is no indication that Measles is coming across from Mexico

“The majority of people who got measles were unvaccinated,” the CDC notes, adding that “[m]easles is still common in many parts of the world including some countries in Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.”

Last years outbreak started in Disneyland- probably either from tourists from the Phillippines, or Americans who visited the Phillippines

Plague?

Even the Breitbart article doesn't claim that anyone has brought plague to the United States.

But you- you lie and claim that plague is coming across our southern border.

Why do you make that lie?

This is a statement that is rather counter productive to the point I think you are trying to make as those diseases that were brought across managed to essentially cause genocide to several vibrant cultures...

What the hell does something that happened centuries ago have to do with what is occuringtoday?

We have had medical breakthroughs that have allowed us to eradicate these diseases through vaccinations and healthy living. Now, we are allowing people to enter who are carrying these diseases and passing them on to our population.

It's a sign of the total stupidity of our current immigration policies. We not only bring in those whose cultist beliefs oppose our very way of life but not bring them in to destroy our very population through their miserable diseases.

Bubonic Plague is not a "returning disease." It has been in the US since 1900. If you're looking for a reason it's still here, blame prairie dogs, not Mexicans.

Here is the title of your thread:
tb-measles-and the plauge coming in over our southern border

And as I pointed out- your own citation disputes that claim- not one word that any plague has come across our 'southern border'- you just lied.

Why?

Now you claim that the article is about 'illegal immigrants'- and again no indication that TB or Measles has originated with 'illegal immigrants'.

So why the hell did you start this thread- and lie about it?

You do occasionally provide positive content- and I appreciate that.

And then other times you pull crap like this- dumping a crap citation- and then providing your own lie as you spin the article you are citing.

I would be more impressed by your positive content if you kept the rest of your content factual.

.

Perhaps you have a point with TB- and if you want to stop entirely all immigration from other countries I suppose we could prevent it- is that what you propose?

But Measles? The most recent outbreaks likely came from tourists- so do you want to stop all tourists? All business travel?

And plague- that was just an asinine claim. That has nothing to do with anyone outside the United States.

Measles outbreak in Brazil...

Brazil blames Venezuelan negligence for return of measles to remote region
9 Aug.`18 - Brazil on Thursday said that Venezuela is doing nothing to stop the spread of an outbreak of measles in Brazil and neighboring countries that has been sparked by an exodus of Venezuelans fleeing economic collapse.

Since February, four people — three of them Venezuelan — have died of measles in the remote Brazilian border state of Roraima, where health authorities have confirmed 281 cases of the disease, mostly among children. The outbreak has prompted the Brazilian government to launch a nationwide campaign to vaccinate 11 million children, as well as adults who request it. Although many Brazilian children are already vaccinated against the disease, the vaccination rate has dropped since Brazil was declared free of measles in 2016.

Brazilian Minister of Health Gilberto Occhi said that Venezuela had ignored Brazilian offers of assistance and vaccines and had not replied to requests for information to assess the extent of the epidemic. “We need to know what Venezuela’s policy is and what it has done to vaccinate its population, and so do other countries,” Occhi said in a conference call with foreign media. The Venezuelan Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and Information did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Occhi said that Brazil is considering vaccinating all Venezuelans entering the country — about 2,000 people a day, about half of whom are in transit or on a short-term visit.

Currently, only those that ask to stay as refugees or residents are vaccinated. Along with Colombia and other neighbors, Brazil has been discussing the need for Venezuela to provide up-to-date information with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), an official said. “All we have is preliminary data from 2017. They are not updating the information and we can’t see the magnitude of the problem,” Brazilian National Immunization Program Coordinator Carla Domingues said. PAHO last month said that nearly 2,500 confirmed cases of measles had been reported in the Americas this year, with more than 1,600 of those occurring in Venezuela and nearly 700 in Brazil.

Since Venezuelans fleeing economic and political turmoil started entering Roraima at the only land crossing three years ago, Brazil has vaccinated 45,000 arrivals. A decree by the Roraima State Government ordering the compulsory blanket vaccination of Venezuelans was struck down by the Brazilian Supreme Court this week. Measles vaccination in Brazil fell to about 70 percent coverage last year, a health ministry official said.
