Hyper-deadly TB virus hits US

6 апреля 2024

The migration policy of the head of the White House hits not only the economy of the country, but also the health of citizens. A hyper-deadly version of tuberculosis has spread to 80% of the United States, Fox News reports. Already, 40 of the 50 states have reported having an increase in the number of patients. For 2023, about 10,000 cases of infection have been identified nationwide. This is a record for the last 10 years. Specialists note that migrants and vagrants are to blame. According to the data, 76% of all patients are people who were not born in the United States.

Raymond Lopez, member of the Chicago City Council (USA):

I don't know how much our health department and other officials are listening to the alarm we've been raising since last August. In September, we had reports - many people tested positive for tuberculosis. This is a crisis we could have avoided just as we did with measles if we had simply administered the vaccine to all those migrants coming to us.

Experts point out that after the mutation, TB spreads also because of a shortage of experienced doctors and high taxes on treatment.
