The cases add to mounting concerns about health conditions at the city’s migrant shelters following the death of a 5-year-old and an outbreak of measles. CHICAGO — Chicago officials have confirmed a “small number” of tuberculosis cases at city-run migrant shelters Wednesday afternoon — once again raising concerns about health conditions at temporary emergency shelter facilities. The Chicago Department of Public Health confirmed tuberculosis cases among newly arrived migrants to ABC7 Chicago and The Chicago Sun-Times. The Chicago Department of Public Health did not disclose how many migrants tested positive for tuberculosis or identify which shelters were impacted. At least five people were transported from the city’s largest migrant shelter in Pilsen to hospitals because of tuberculosis, according to one migrant who spoke to Borderless. On X (formerly known as Twitter), Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) criticized Johnson’s administration, demanding vaccination records for migrants and including a photo that showed at least three migrants with tuberculosis. The shelter — a former warehouse in a manufacturing district — is home to 1,334 migrants and also experienced a measles outbreak and the death of a child in the last few months. https://blockclubchicago.org/2024/0...nfirm-tuberculosis-cases-at-migrant-shelters/ There is more at the link about the health consequences of tuberculosis which had been largely eliminated in this country before Joe Biden legalized an invasion from third world countries. Tuberculosis vaccinations are no longer routinely given in the US so the majority of our population is likely unprotected..
The so-called TB vaccinations have problems of their own, and, as far as I know, are and were only given in places where the disease was endemic. I worked in a TB clinic in Bolivia and we gave them there, but as far as I know they were never given routinely in the U.S.
The "immigrants" are bringing many diseases into the nation, and now, with government subsidies reportedly, thy are being hired to work in food processing plants, so there is a danger that some of those diseases will now enter the food chain, particularly in meat processing. We are being betrayed in a big way by our so-called leadership class.
Ok, I'll take your word for it. Something I read said this: The tuberculosis vaccine, also known as the bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, is used to protect against tuberculosis (TB) and related complications. The BCG vaccine is no longer routinely given in the United States and isn’t recommended for the general population by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). https://www.verywellhealth.com/tuberculosis-vaccine-7089756 'No longer routinely given' led me to believe that it once was routinely given. I still don't like to see the US importing diseases that had been nearly eliminated here through open borders.
As far as I know, it was never given in the same manner as MMR or DPT or Polio. I think it was once given to healthcare workers who dealt with high populations of TB patients. I never received it, and was told it didn't wok very well and there were a lot of side effects. I did have to be tested every 6 weeks when I returned to the U.S. and then every 6 months for a while. Most healthcare workers are tested annually in the U.S.
While we were told to isolate and get shots, illegals were coming in by the millions doing neither. I read most of the flights filled with them are being flown into Texas and Florida. Nothing makes sense anymore, I just know that looks like this empire is just about over, China, N,.Korea and Russia seem to be the next empire, don't know?
China and Russia want different kinds of empires form that of the U.S., and before us, the British. The Chinese and Russians want empires in a more limited sense, but controlling their own futures.
China doesn't have to worry about conflict to take us over they just have to pay off our leaders and buy up our land ,resources and businesses.
