Whooping Cough Declared An Epidemic In Calif

Amen... And so did many others. Same results with varicella vaccine also.

[Windflier]

I hear that illegals from Mexico are bringing tuberculosis into the country. Yet, Obama would rather go to war with Arizona for trying to stop this sort of madness.

It’s those dang Amish again...

In San Diego County, we’re having a real run of it .. brought in from illegals .. no doubt .. since they do not innoculate their children.

In the County warnings, we have been advised to get a booster shot.

Wanna bet which side of the border this came over from?

There is probably a reason the bacteria was named " "Bordetella pertussis"

From 1999 to now, the percent of kids vaccinated against Whooping cough fell from 96% to 93%. Guess what happened since 1999. Yup. Lots of illegals. And the % will just grow as those illegals keep coming and keep having more kids, not knowing their health care needs.

What baby Bush, Clinton, Obama, Daddy Bush and the rest of the open borders scum are doing to this nation is criminal. It is treason. They should all be hung.

It's not often remarked upon, but the public health threat posed by illegals is a.) substantial and b.) growing.

They are importing diseases that essentially no longer exist in the U.S. And they are bringing with them the hygenic habits that will spread them.

How many American children contract disease or infection by swimming in pools shared with illegals?

If I recall correctly, there have even been a few outbreaks of cholera in the South Texas colonias.

Legal immigrants have to pass a physical exam. But the illegals are bringing us bugs we simply don't need...

[HiJinx]

Ping!

Guess who pics our vegetables? Do you really think that illegals, who suffer from diarrhea from E. Coli or some of the nice worms and other parasites from improperly cooked pork, wash their hands in the fields?

[raybbr]

Why do you think they have J. Lopez doing the ads for Pertussis vaccinations?

Add that to the public health risk.

As I recall, though, a lot of the infected vegetables have come from Mexico -- and irrigation with water polluted by human sewage.

But, undeniably, a lot has also come from their harvesting and handling of crops here in the USA.

For some reason, the public health risk never gets talked about. Yet, it should be one of the primary reasons to CLOSE THE BORDER!

Although they don't deal with agriculture much, I know 2 great public health experts. Peter Huber at the Manhattan Institute and Betsey McCaughey

Betsy McCaughey? Isn't she the one who actually read and parsed the Obamacare bill?

Knows her stuff.

[Mamzelle]

Not all vaccinations “take”—and vaccines provide a kind of firewall to mass infection to the unvaccinated generally, but there is a critical mass that can be built—

“In poor areas of Mexico the pluming is so bad they NEVER flush toilet paper it clogs the pluming.. so the have a bucket for used toilet paper”

I have seen the same bucket in toilets all over Miami, and throughout Florida where there were Messicans.

The same holds for the states in the West where there were significant numbers of Messicans.

Welcome to the Turd World, brought to you by your sullen, hostile, crime inclined, Messican neighbors.

She was also against he latest one. Of course, as a politically active New Yorker, I also know her for hre political career. In 1994, she was nominated as Lt. Governor with Pataki. She often disagreed with Pataki and in 1997 became a Democrat, after Pataki chose another woman, Judge Donahue for his lt Governor in 1998. McCaughey got the Liberal Party nomination in 1998, but lost the Democrat nod to then-Comptroller McCall. This was disastrous to the Liberal party, she did so poorly, they lost their 40+ year guaranteed election line. The consequence of this and the suceeding election failures of the corrupt Liberal Party was the rise of the ACORN SEIU backed "Working Families Party".

An obscure (to me), but very interesting, story. Thanks for the background.
