“Nigerians lighting themselves on fire on US airliners. Peruvians coming to the US with incurable TB. How about a little Homeland Security here? You guys can’t control our borders but you think you can control the world’s climate.”

It’s called the Audacity of Marxist Hubris ... or, ummmm Hope and Change ...

Wow, Alaska has more TB than I would have thought, given the low # of immigrants there.

“Enough! My father died of the disease when I was very young.”

My Grandfather died of it in the depression ... left my Grandmother and 7 kids ... we do NOT need this scourge back on our shores ...

Not a surprize considering we have all but open borders.

There was an epidemic of whooping cough in Seattle a couple of years ago that got started among the Somali immigrant community up there and spread out to the many other thousands of people who didn’t believe in inoculations either.

TB is probably the least of our worries if it comes down to it.

“There was an epidemic of whooping cough in Seattle...”

Just saw a PSA on tv about it making a comeback ... terribly sad to see... I worry about my grandkids.

"He is really the future," Ashkin said. "This is the new class that people are not really talking too much about. These are the ones we really fear because I'm not sure how we treat them."

Send them around to sing of tolerance and love to packed schoolrooms full of racist white children.

And Bible-believing Churches.

And Catholic Churches.

Obamacare to the RESCUE!

Why don't we just DEPORT the f*cker for health reasons?

Kennedy should've been shot for treason for working with the Kremlin to screw up Reagan's placement of US missiles in Europe.

Too late to have fixed his 1965 Immigration Act though.

Cheers!

From the article:

For decades, drug makers failed to develop new medicines for TB because the profits weren't there. With the emergence of resistant TB, several private drug companies have started developing new treatments, but getting an entire regimen on the market could take 24 years.

There wil be NO new regimens developed under Obamacare, the only drugs we'll have are the ones we already have ... not to worry though - we'll be saving crap loads of money.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If XXDR starts spreading we are in a ****load of trouble!

By the way this is what I posted on another thread on the same article:

>> “In the 1980s, HIV and AIDS brought an even bigger resurgence of TB cases. TB remains the biggest killer of HIV patients today.” ( from the article) <<
This little nugget buried deep in the article has **MAJOR** significance for everyone!

HIV infected people are most likely to be HIV infected because they are actively gay or IV drug abusers. They live life-styles that put them and others in extreme risk of spreading communicable disease ( TB, parasites, dysentery, MRSA infections, various types of pneumonias,..etc.) among their own community and then out to the larger population as a whole.

Active homosexuals and IV drug abusers are NOT making libertarian life-style choices that have consequences only for them. Their life-stlye choices cause pain, illness, and expenditures of money that are borne by others.

Immune compromised people are walking petri dishes waiting for infection. However...Unlike most other immune compromised people, HIV infected and active homosexuals (with their huge number of partners) live a life that actively seeks to have that petri dish inoculated with communicable diseases that others in the community can and **DO** get!

Remember that during the holidays when your actively practicing homosexual cousin shows up for the New Year's party.

This is our future.

It doesn't have to be. Put his skinny illegal ass on a plane bound for Peru. And do the same for any others like him found in the U.S.

Nah too expensive, put him to death humanely and burn his remains and bury.

Drug resistant TB would be your worst mightmare. TB spreads readily through the air, and before effective antibiotics was a major scourge. If this strain were to get loose it would make "worries" like whooping cough look trivial.

As I look at that map, can someone explain to me what New Mexico is doing that Texas and Arizona aren’t?

I knew it was a foreigner from south of the border before I even looked. Let’s keep them borders wide open folks!
