Flashermac Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 First Ebola, now Dengue hemorrhagic fever has arrived in the U.S. The immigration policies of the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress have opened the door to another disease, Dengue hemorrhagic fever that is now showing up in the U.S., Jerome R. Corsi of WND reported on Tuesday. With the influx of unaccompanied illegal minors who have illegally entered the U.S. this year, Dr. Lee Hieb, past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, explained to WND in an interview that the U.S is now facing another deadly disease. Hieb told Corsi, “The big picture here is that we are getting all these diseases brought into the United States by the ‘imported disease people’ from Latin America. Other diseases tied to illegal aliens include Chagas disease, Enterovirus D-68, drug-resistant tuberculosis and malaria. We don’t generally test for dengue fever, because until recently we have not had hordes of people coming into the United States from areas of the world like Latin America where dengue fever is endemic. With other diseases, like TB, we generally test to see if immigrants coming into the United States legally have the disease. But if you’re one of the “chosen few†coming into the United States illegally from Latin America, the U.S. does no health screening whatsoever,†Hieb said. Corsi said that in March 2014, as the Ebola outbreak was first becoming evident in West Africa, the United Nations World Health Organization warned the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever had “grown dramatically†around the world in recent decades. Corisi also reported that at least 2.5 billion people, more than 40 percent of the world’s population, were now at risk from dengue, and that the World Health Organization (WHO) anticipated that some 50 to 100 million dengue infections would occur worldwide every year. Hieb explained to Corsi on why allowing into the U.S. illegal immigrants already infected by diseases such as malaria and dengue fever will increase the risk of starting an epidemic of a disease that was once thought to have been eradicated in the U.S. “Right now, if you get bitten by a mosquito in your backyard in Nebraska, the chance of you getting malaria or dengue fever is very small,†Hieb said. “But the more people you bring into the United States who have malaria or dengue fever in their blood streams, the greater the chances you are going to get malaria or dengue fever from being bitten by a mosquito in your backyard in Nebraska.†Aaron Klein first reported of the dengue hemorrhagic fever in the U.S. in October 2014 in which he found that cases of the dengue hemorrhagic fever mosquito had surfaced in San Diego as well as Los Angeles. As a result, suspicions were growing that the disease-bearing mosquitoes have been carried into the United States on the clothing and baggage of the “unaccompanied minorsâ€. According to the National Library of Medicine, the Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe, potentially deadly infection spread by mosquitoes, mainly the species “Aedes aegyptiâ€. Four different dengue viruses are known to cause dengue hemorrhagic fever. Dengue hemorrhagic fever occurs when a person is bitten by a mosquito that is infected with the virus. There are more than 100 million new cases of dengue fever every year throughout the world. A small number of these develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever. Most infections in the United States are brought in from other countries. Risk factors for dengue hemorrhagic fever include having antibodies to dengue virus from an earlier infection and being younger than 12, female, or Caucasian. http://www.examiner.com/article/first-ebola-now-dengue-hemorrhagic-fever-has-arrived-the-u-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Dengue Fever? And I walked, crawled, climbed, through the jungles of Southeast Asia and visited Pattaya Thailand. Which is worse? The jungles of Southeast Asia or Pattaya Thailand? Should I worry about this also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I got it first in northern Thailand, and the second time in urban Bangkok. Ordinary dengue is bad enough, but the hemorrhagic version can be fatal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hollywood is FURIOUS With What Angelina Jolie Said About Barack Obama There is every reason to believe Angelina Jolie is a liberal. She is a beautiful Hollywood actress who has served as United Nations Goodwill Ambassador since 2001. Her Husband, Brad Pitt, is a major donor and promoter of the Democratic Party and supporter of Barack Obama. Which makes what Angelina said a huge shock. Jolie clearly takes after her father — the outspoken Jon Voight — when she expressed her dislike for President Obama in US Magazine. Sources close to Angelina Jolie have come forward to say that she not only dislikes Obama, but thinks he’s a socialist. The quote from one source was, “She hates him. She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise.†“Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors,†the source says. It is nice to find a talented actress who isn’t afraid to speak out against President Obama, which on the Hollywood Left Coast will cost her many friends and business opportunities. Maybe this is a sign that even Hollywood is starting to realize just how miserable this President is. http://www.thepoliti...d-barack-obama/ Mr. Unpopular these days ...

Flashermac Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 JFK's popularity was also slipping some, though he'd have been re-elected without much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
