The United
States is getting a valuable lesson on world sanitation and health
standards. We are watching with horror,
viruses ravaging our population especially our kids. Some of these have symptoms of TB and now a
strain of Polio.
Being in my
60’s I grew up with the generation that worked hard to eradicate many of these diseases
with childhood immunizations and proactive medical programs; as a kid I
remember people getting polio. I can
also remember going to get the polio vaccine while in school standing in long
lines for shots then (at a later date) the Salk vaccine that we drank in little
paper cups.
In short,
overall, the US has attained a high degree of sanitation with fresh drinking
water, sanitation programs and preventive health programs. Not all countries of the world have done
this, many in our own hemisphere.
As a country
we want to save the world, feed the hungry kids, help with the Ebola Virus;
but, what about countries that have very poor sanitation standards? Let’s look at South and Latin America; we
just allowed tens of thousands of children from these countries that didn’t
have shot records to show immigration, the Obama administration and liberal
democrats are too busy to have them checked out for some of these viruses that
thrive in the poorer countries that do not come close to the health standards
we have. We were in such a hurry to “save
the children” we may have sentenced our own children to severe medical problems
or a crippling future with polio. I
think we are just finding one of the problems of illegal immigration.
I received
this information from a friend of mine who is sick with many of the symptoms of
what the kids are coming down with and this is what his doctor told him. Maybe the doctor is wrong; I’ll let you
connect the dots.
Did Maggie
take in any of these kids into NH? The
viruses seem to have shown up.
