I wonder where he got it.
research Chagas. Uncurable, eventually shuts down organs ie your heart. Parasitical in nature, destroys you.
Native only to mexico ans south America.
Want to re-read my post and guess which disease you listed that I did comment on with background indicating that it predates by 160 years our current non-native invasive species problem....
Oh, and while we’re at it, smallpox is EXTINCT in the wild.
That's pretty damning if it's true. I had active TB myself and from the time the doctors told me until I left the hospital, NO ONE was in my presence unmasked. On the few occasions I was out of isolation, I was masked. As a matter of fact, that's how I knew they were letting me go home. The doctor came in my room with no mask.
While we all get aggravated about a single case of TB that has subsequently proved to not currently be contagious we have missed the fact that 50% of the TB cases in this country are attributable to immigrants.
Thats right, the illegals pouring over the border are bring all kinds of infectious diseases with them, including TB which is currenly on the rise in the US.
Always reminds me of “Do you walk off a cliff because someone tells you to?”
Am I my brother’s keeper?
Personally, I hope “Poor Me” Speaker is confined to that hospital for 25 to life. The gall of all the parties involved here is beyond my comprehension.
Defending? I thought he was a plaintiff's lawyer.
I guess he is going to find out how it feels from the other side, now.
Everyone on the flights and their relatives and friends should be looking for a piece of this pusbag.
no it is not.
You are not entitled to make up your own facts.
"Smallpox outbreaks have occurred from time to time for thousands of years, but the disease is now eradicated after a successful worldwide vaccination program. The last case of smallpox in the United States was in 1949. The last naturally occurring case in the world was in Somalia in 1977."
Article,”Family balked at keeping TB patient from traveling, emails show”. The first paragraph makes it clear the family had no intentions of cooperating,ever...
AP They balked. They squawked. And some of them flew where they weren’t supposed to go.Such was the behavior of tuberculosis-infected lawyer Andrew Speaker, his father, Ted, and his future father-in-law, a federal TB expert, according to health officials’ e-mails obtained today.
