    Well, he appears to have failed to infest our country with Ebola, so Obama has done the next best thing: brought back the scourge of TB to the US population. Anything to destroy current US citizens, apparently, is a plus:


    "The high rate of latent TB infection among Vermont refugees [35%] is consistent with that found recently among other refugees resettled in other states–22 percent in Minnesota, 18 percent in Arizona, and 26 percent in Indiana.

    A number of recent medical studies have concluded that the high rate of latent TB infection among refugees poses a health risk to the general population, where the latent, or non-communicable TB infection rate is only 4 percent.

    Although only 10 percent of those with latent develop active TB, the majority of the foreign born cases of active TB reported in the Arizona are from those who arrived with latent TB that became activated.

    The number of active TB cases in the United States declined for 23 years, but 2015 saw a 1.7 percent national increase in the number of active TB cases, compared to 2014. During this period, the percentage of active TB cases in the United States attributable to foreign born patients has skyrocketed, from 48 percent in 2000 to 66 percent in 2014."

    Compare this with Wehrwolfen's post in 2014--this is consistent, irresponsible behavior by our Democrat administration, which shows little regard for the public heath if current American citizens.
