I recall some early stories of this and the doctors were suspecting this leprosy outbreak started after some people in this town returned from a mission trip in the South Pacific or something like that.

Don’t forget the little tape worms they’re bringing.

An interesting thing about tapeworms - when they lay eggs, those eggs get into the blood stream and some travel to your brain. Once there they grow like a brain tumor.

The surgery is very expensive but if you are an illegal, IT’S FREE!

Need to change the title to reflect the role of illegals bringing this dread into the US.

Our hero nominee Juan McCain sure doesn’t give a rat’s ass if the US citizen’s get leprosy or TB.

This will be the new plague on the US. Selfish, power hungry people are in charge.

All of us are going to pay as we watch our children and grandchildren die from diseases we had pretty much eradicated.

To think that there are people posting here on this forum who want to try to shame me into voting for a man without a conscience. You can’t have a conscience if you can pretend there is something high minded and noble about turning your back on the health and safety of your own citizens.

I know first hand that the illegal children attending our school do not get immunizations. Here in San Diego we are seeing an outbreak of measles for this reason.

All the diseases that my children were inoculated against, and had been eradicated, are now back. Illegal immigration is directly responsible.

There was another story on this here a week or two ago. I tried to post an update, but the mods removed it, apparently thinking that it was a duplicate post.

Anyway, these leprosy cases are among a group of American Samoans who are in Arkansas to work in a Tyson chicken plant. The original story was that a group of doctors were questioning why lepers had been admitted to Arkansas and apparently were running around loose.

The Arkansas Health Dept then proceeded to lean on the local TV station that posted the story. They removed it and posted another story, saying that according the the state health department, leprosy isn’t dangerous and can’t be transmitted to other people, so chill out and forget it.

American Samoa has some sort of deal with the US that allows its people in whenever they like, I gather. Tyson is using that exception to bring in cheap labor.

So, nothing to do with Mexico. What’s broken is Tyson, who started out as a drug-smuggling mobster, and the Arkansas Health Department, which is probably still run by the kind of guys who approved of bill clinton’s prison blood scheme, which transmitted AIDS to a number of innocent people around the world, notably in Canada. Clinton made money, and Canadian Leukemia patients got AIDS. Since he was clinton, the story was buried by the MSM and the Canadian Liberal government.

AIDS, chagas disease, leprosy ... as if our health care system is supposed to handle this AND all the senior citizens about to retire.
You can’t do both.

Also another reason to have food plant supervision at the higher government levels run by medical public health professionals familiar with food processing and animals(veterinarians). The Clinton administration put lawyers in charge of much of the public health with a few physicians that specialized in public health and is why many of the requirements for food processing employees were dropped. The Food Inspection service is still reeling from the Clinton Administration actions. No longer do food plant and restaurant workers have the requirement to be screened for TB, infectious diseases and have health exams yearly prior to working in these plants.

“OUTBREAK: Leprosy in Arkansas – Brought Here by Whom?”

Not to worry.
At least the illegals/leprosy cases shouldn’t be clogging up our
emergency rooms as much.

Seeing how they are now stealing Americans’ medical records in order
to get credentials to visit doctors without prior consultation.
(in other words, stealing Americans’ idenitities in order to get
Platinum-Class medical coverage).

This reported in USA Today, Friday 15, 2008 in the “Technology”
section on page 4B.

I’m surprised it’s not a syphilis outbreak.
