Tuberculosis outbreak at Sacramento high school

A California high school is at the center of a tuberculosis outbreak linked to an infectious student who tested positive for active TB in February, county health officials said Wednesday. Four more students at Grant Union High School in Sacramento have contracted active TB. Three related tuberculosis cases are considered an outbreak, Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Laura McCasland said.

The AP writer knew very well that every reader of his article would have one question and one question only after finishing it.

This slimy media creep made sure he didn't answer the question in his article.

One can almost guess with certainty that the absence of this certain vital (but bad for Obama) information means that we'll find out later that the disease is spreading from contact with illegals.

Although there is modern treatment, TB can be a real killer in many instances, young and old alike.

This author should be strung with piano wire on the highest available girder on the Golden Gate Bridge for withholding pertinent health information from the public.

Good, Hopefully disease will take down the left, destroy them in any way we can. Unfortunately, law abiding citizens of this country will also suffer.

We had better make sure we and our families have all the inoculations that are available to us. When you use a shopping cart, wipe off the cart handle with a disinfectant b/4 you use it. Keep disinfectant with you to keep you hands clean when you out in public. Keep your hands away from your mouth. As someone posted on FR, is anyone cleaning up after these illegals use the buses, airplanes to transport them to other cities? Can anyone else think of what we can do to keep ourselves safe?

A heads up to those using the food pantries. The illegals are swarming these pantries with their kids in tow, and the elderly, sick, disabled, American citizens, many of them unemployed with families to feed are being pushed to the back of the line, as the illegals swarm to the front. Keep your distance from them, and what you touch..wipe down anything you put your hands on such as a cart when picking up items at the pantry.

Actually it was decided that the BCG vax wasn’t very effective, IIRC from reading quite a few years ago.

I know that most people who had that vax test positive with skin tests.

[Texas Songwriter]

BCG is not a particularly efficacious vaccine. The bacillus Mycobacterium has a 'waxy" outer coat which impedes the immune process yielding antibodies and lymphocyte efficiency.

If what I am hearing in the medical community comes to pass, the good work of hundreds of thousands of medical personal eradicating things like TB, German Measles, whooping cough, and many others in this country will be lost to this invasion. Why Obama is doing this seems mysterious.

I have come to believe he is bringing these people into the US for political reasons, one of which is to provoke the House of Representatives to bring up impeachment charges prior to November so he can divide the country saying those white conservatives are trying to get rid of the first black president. That would suck the wind out of every other issue. I t is just a theory of mine, but it makes sense.

anyone who has had BCG will test positive to a TB skin test. It is a result of the vaccine. The vaccine is not very effective and not used in the US

“I have come to believe he is bringing these people into the US for political reasons,”

In the 1980’s I had a Top Secret clearance on a project which received regular FBI briefings on KGB activity. It astonished me that, according to these briefings, one of the KGB’s top goals was the destruction of the American family and the Christian churches they belonged to. Another issue was an attempt to dilute Americanism by using teacher’s unions and advocating unlimited immigration. These briefings were well supported with copies of checks made out to cash from accounts known to be used by the KGB.

Today, there’s no way an FBI agent could make those assertions because they are not politically acceptable. It appears that the KGB has won. This is probably the reason Putin, a former KGB operative, is so against gay rights. They were a political plot that has returned to his shores to bite its maker.

Obama, if not a foreign agent, is the perfect vessel for what foreign agents wanted to do. (Frankly, I think he’s just a useful idiot.) Like that Star Trek episode about a weapon from some ancient war that’s still working and wrecking havoc this policy from a war long go is still destroying American society.

I just finished re-reading a book by Cleon Skousen entitled "The Naked Communist" and Dr. Fred Swartz's, "You Can Trust the Communist, to be Communist". What prompted me to re-read these two books was a Freepers post of an ExCongressman to make a video on the subject of communism in the US, especially in the universities and state department. I had read "The Naked Communist" many years ago but I was young and most of it did not stick. What prompted me was the list ofcurrent communist goals On pages 259-262 there are 45 enumerated "goals and "how to" listed. They have almost completed all 45 goals. They adopted, not the marxist techniques of radical, sudden violent revolution but rather the Antonio Gramsci, an Italian communist who recommended the communists take over the churches and culture progressively. Today we hear the term 'progressives', which in my mind simply is "slow-motion communism". We have almost lost this republic. Apathy, sense of entitlements, perversions, promotion of the UN, the capture of the democrat party (now rightly called the Progressive Party), the perversion of the teachings in government schools, the takeover of the press to promote communism, the elimination of obscenity laws, promotion of homosexuality, the capture of churches to a social religion, the assault on the Constitution, and many other goals have been realized and implemented. I can only see one slight 'pushback' and that is the weakening of unions.

Yes, communism is winning, just like Krusheve predicted...."The west will fall into our hands like an overripe fruit."
