The disease is virtually eliminated from the planet - again, the few places where polio occurs, is ALWAYS associated from a vaccination - and has been for at least 10 years.

so is your beef vaccinations or TB? Two very different subjects.

One of the reasons TB is making a comeback is because antibiotics are so overused - they are not as effective (good thing for the drug makers who keep having to come up with stronger ones huh?

Drug companies have lots of ways to make big bucks. I happen to invest in pharms regularly--and I have to shake my head at the things that go on. For instance--just making a drug "long acting" can add bookoos bucks to the price. For instance--ambien went generic, so lunesta just reformulates to be longer acting. Big price difference. The answer to that is to make an investigation when you need a new med that is really pricey--you may find that your daughter's acne med is $7 instead of $400 dollars a month.

But it is a fool's nonsense to believe that there's plotting --to increase disease!!--your family is immensely benefited by vaccines. You just can't appreciate it because all that's left are the few failures in an immense population.

TB is making a comeback because we have an influx of untested illegal aliens.

As for the overuse of antibiotics, that's a fire we keep having to put out. Sometimes we go back and get the old meds and use them for awhile, in hopes that the new ones will come back strong. And the eeeeevil pharmeceudical companies have just come up with a hugely expensive antibiotic that may save your life.

Of course, TB is ALSO making a comeback because we have immigrants (unvaccinated) bringing it in from their third-world hellholes.

One of my nephews goes to a public school which has a high immigrant population (legal and illegal). They've already gotten three notices about the possibility of exposure to TB this year.
