INFECTED: Over 1/3 Of Refugees in Vermont Test Positive for TB

Now we find out that Obama’s “refugee” program is even more dangerous than we already knew it was. Along with bringing into the country an untold number of ISIS terrorists from Syria and almost none of the country’s oppressed Christians, Obama is now responsible for bringing into our country seriously contagious diseases that we had almost eradicated here in the U.S.

A new report at Watchdog Vermont shows us[1] that at least one third of the so-called “refugees” Obama is bringing into the VermontĀ are racked with tuberculosis.

Data from the Vermont Department of Health show that more than one-third of refugees resettled in Vermont test positive for tuberculosis.

Since 2013, about 900 refugees admitted to the Green Mountain State have been tested for tuberculosis, a potentially fatal infectious disease affecting the lungs. Of that number, 318 refugees, or 35.4 percent, tested positive.

Watchdog.org obtained the health data on Wednesday following reporting by Stateline that the disease may be making a comeback in the United States.

Refugees brought to the United States undergo TB tests as part of comprehensive health screenings. State health departments track the data to monitor cases and protect against public health crises.

According to IGRA (Interferon-Gamma Release Assays) blood test results from 2013 to the present, the highest percentage of incoming refugees to Vermont infected with TB occurred in 2013. That year, 108 refugees out of 248 tested, or 43.6 percent, showed positive for TB.

Vermont isn’t alone. Breitbart News reported[2] in May that 222 active TB cases were found among “refugees” sent to Arizona.

And, folks, if it is happening in Vermont and Arizona, you can be sure it is happening in every single state in this country because Obama is secretly bringing in these “refugees” and placing them throughout the country whether locals want them or not.

In fact, not long ago, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory complained[3] that Obama is shipping these “refugees” into his state without even bothering to inform state authorities about when of where they are headed.

So, don’t be surprised if you end up living next to these purported refugees and you end up finding they have TB… or worse your kids end up in school with Syrian kids who bring TB into the classroom.
