    Leprosy in U.S.: Not just a 3rd World problem anymore

    Leprosy in U.S.: Not just a 3rd World problem anymore

    'Directly attributable to illegal aliens and now specifically illegal-alien children'

    Leprosy bacteria

    Leprosy is one of the diseases the developed world had largely eradicated.

    The World Health Organization said that over about three decades, cases dropped from 21.1 per 10,000 people in 1983 to 0.24 cases per 10,000 in 2014.

    “With the exception of a few small countries (with populations of less than 1 million), leprosy has been eliminated from all countries,” the group said in a fact sheet issued only five months ago.

    So what about the new reports from Riverside, California?

    That’s where the local Press Enterprise newspaper reported Jurupa Unified School District officials sent a letter home to parents just days ago when they got reports that two Indian Hills Elementary students were diagnosed with leprosy.

    “We wanted parents of the students to know, we wanted to get ahead of any rumors and make sure they had access to ample information,” Supt. Elliott Duchon told the newspaper.

    The classrooms used by the two students, who were not identified, were decontaminated.

    The test results from the students, meanwhile, have been sent to the National Hansen’s Disease (Leprosy) Program lab, and results are expected in several weeks.

    While experts confirm that the disease is rare – some 200 cases are reported in the United States each year – there is concern it is returning, and there’s a renewed awareness of the threat.

    Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced a seminar on Nov. 14-15 to train people to spot and diagnose the disease.

    Seminar participants will study the current protocols for treatment, how to recognize what is a simple inflammation and what is leprosy, and what pathological changes the disease causes in the skin and nerves.

    After all, in addition to the recent reports from California, there were five cases reported in just the first five weeks of the year in Florida.

    And just a few months before that, there were nine cases reported in Florida in a little over a month. Also, one blog, Outbreak News Today, reported from 2014 to 2015 the number of cases nearly tripled in that state.

    Also, Florida’s Bay County reported its first-ever case.

    “It’s a surprise to most people that leprosy is still in the United States,” said Leisha Nolen, a doctor and epidemic intelligence service officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said at that time. “Doctors would be aware that leprosy is still present. It’s rare … but it would be tragic if they miss it.”

    The National Hansen’s Disease (Leprosy) Clinical Center in Baton Rouge makes available free consultations for physicians treating cases, free pathologic review of skin biopsies, antibiotics for treatment, education materials, and even surgical care and rehabilitation

    The disease, most commonly found in Texas and Louisiana, is transmitted from saliva and nose emissions.

    The bacteria takes anywhere from four to 20 years to become evident. Reports of the disease date to biblical times, and descriptions of wasted flesh and loss of muscle truly are the substance of horror movies.

    As reported in Health Day a little over a year ago, “Most U.S. cases occur in people who traveled to the United States from areas of the world where the bacterial infection is endemic.”

    No details were being released on the circumstances of the reported California victims, but WND columnist Mychal Massie, at the time commenting on several outbreaks of leprosy, said illegal aliens routinely are bringing such diseases into the U.S.

    “I may not be a lawyer, but I believe that Obama and certain members of Congress are not only condoning the lawlessness of illegals bringing diseases across our border, but are encouraging subordinates to do same,” he wrote.

    “Private citizens as well as government employees have every right to reasonably expect and believe the federal government (and our local governments) will protect us from avoidable harm, such as knowingly permitting illegal-alien disease carriers to infect our communities,” he said.

    “There are outbreaks of leprosy in New York; entire school districts are coming in contact with virulent strains of TB in Georgia and other states. There are outbreaks of dengue fever, Chagas Disease and flesh eating fungi. All that is referenced here is directly attributable to illegal aliens and now specifically illegal-alien children. The same Congress and federal government that knowingly permitted the secret use of LSD testing on Americans without their consent or knowledge is now subjecting us to known peril again,” he said.

    Also, earlier this year, WND reported that leprosy was on the move in the southeastern U.S., with reports from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
    Today, antibiotics treat the infection, but for generations the U.S. had several famed leper colonies, including Molokai in Hawaii.

    As of only a year or two ago, there were several patients isolated there.

    Ann Corcoran at Refugee Resettlement Watch wrote two years ago that the problem was that diseases were coming into the United States again not just through illegal aliens but legal aliens as well.

    She noted that in the early 2000s, as immigration was ramping up, there was a surge in the number of leprosy cases.

    And a 2011 report at American Renaissance said, “Cases of leprosy are rare in the U.S. However, due to the increase in immigrants from Mexico, India, Africa and other Third World nations, there has been an increase in the number of reported leprosy cases.”

    That report cited cases in New York, Texas, California, Florida and other states.

    Another report said the leprosy infection rate for foreigners in the U.S. is 14 times higher than for those born in the U.S.

    Feds expose us to disease-carrying illegals

    Exclusive: Mychal Massie calls housing of kids 'an unconscionable act of lethal irresponsibility'

    07/28/2014 at 7:21 PM

    My belief that Obama is singularly responsible for allowing the illegal-alien children pouring across our southern border to infest our country and be granted immunity for breaking our sovereign laws may not be enough by itself to litigate against him. That notwithstanding, I am persuaded that there is ample evidence to litigate against those responsible for openly refusing to honor their oath to protect us from harm, which specifically includes the diseases illegals are bringing into our country. I may not be a lawyer, but I believe that Obama and certain members of Congress are not only condoning the lawlessness of illegals bringing diseases across our border, but are encouraging subordinates to do same. To my way of reasoning, that is the making for one heck of a class-action lawsuit.

    Once again, I confess to not being a lawyer, but I would think The Federal Tort Claims Act would allow certain government employees to sue, because they are being both exposed to life-threatening diseases and placed at risk of infection the federal government could very easily keep out. Private citizens as well as government employees have every right to reasonably expect and believe the federal government (and our local governments) will protect us from avoidable harm, such as knowingly permitting illegal-alien disease carriers to infect our communities.

    Susan Jones, reporting for CNSNews, wrote: “Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a gathering in Washington on Tuesday. ‘If we’re not careful, we will soon be in a post-antibiotic era. And in fact, for some patients and some pathogens, we’re already there,’ he said in a speech at the National Press Club.

    “‘Antimicrobial resistance has the potential to harm or kill anyone in the country; to undermine modern medicine; to devastate our economy; and to make our health-care system less stable.’ The problem must be confronted quickly and decisively, Frieden said, to continue protecting Americans from the moment they are born: ‘But every day we delay, it gets harder and more expensive to reverse it,’ he warned.” (“CDC Chief: Next Pandemic ‘Hiding In Plain Sight,'” July 23, 2014)

    Allowing illegal-alien children into our country and, even more indefensibly, knowingly housing these illegal-alien children in children’s homes like “Kids Peace” in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is an unconscionable act of lethal irresponsibility.

    Several days ago, I received the following from a reader whose name I have withheld: “I live on Long Island, New York, and my 12-year-old son was just diagnosed with the Coxsackie virus. However, after following up with his pediatrician b/c of lesions on his FACE (Coxackie is known as Hand, Foot and Mouth disease) the doctor said this was ‘very atypical’ of Coxsackie lesions. It may be the same virus but the presentation is different. This doctor has been practicing pediatrics for 40-plus years and wanted one of his colleagues to look at my son’s lesions. He had never seen the virus presented like this before.

    My son is not in day care or camp. The last place he was before he got sick was at a public beach. The threat to our health and economy is real indeed. Thank you for speaking truth. God bless.”

    The reader subsequently informed me that her son’s illness very closely mirrored the “Ghost Virus” that infected a children’s learning center in Wisconsin. Of course, no one is willing to publicly say if the early learning center in Wisconsin has illegal alien children attending or if the infected children have been exposed to them.

    On July 24, the Associated Press reported there was a desperate manhunt on for Eduardo Rosas Cruz who was diagnosed with tuberculosis in March of this year. California medical workers released Cruz to a hotel fully cognizant that he was from an area of Mexico that is known for its drug-resistant strain of TB. California might as well be known as North Mexico given the extent government officials have gone to accommodate illegal aliens.

    As I wrote in my July 20 syndicated column, Dr. Lyle Rapacki reported that “Arizona Health and Human Services Department clearly states there is no health screening occurring on the … illegal [alien] children being brought and turfed in Arizona.”

    In the same article, I noted that Dr. Rapacki further revealed: “On Thursday [July 10], ABC News confirmed what AZDI sources revealed earlier, there is virtually no health screening of any real public health value done on the UACs, (i.e., unaccompanied alien children).”

    In my July 17 syndicated column I wrote: “The now nationally discussed medical fears are beginning to manifest. Reports by Border Patrol facilities holding illegal children and military bases used likewise now report strong cases and quickly spreading cases of pneumonia, TB, scabies, parasitic diseases not even seen previously in America, sexually transmitted diseases [and] severe swine flu. Isolated for now, cases of polio are reported in southern states.”

    There are outbreaks of leprosy in New York; entire school districts are coming in contact with virulent strains of TB in Georgia and other states. There are outbreaks of dengue fever, Chagas Disease and flesh eating fungi. All that is referenced here is directly attributable to illegal aliens and now specifically illegal-alien children. The same Congress and federal government that knowingly permitted the secret use of LSD testing on Americans without their consent or knowledge is now subjecting us to known peril again.

    How many children will be stricken as they return to their schools in the fall? How many day-care centers will be affected? What will be the death toll? It is up to us to demand the courts hold those sworn to protect us accountable for knowingly, and with complete disregard, subjecting us to virulent diseases without our knowledge and/or consent.
