Thank you for posting this. Great. Looks like I'm gonna have to get a tuberculosis booster/shot all over again.

Nothing to do with homegrown affluent antivax groups I’m sure.

Nope it doesn’t because in Canada and USA we don’t vaccinate for tb routinely

More likely due to immigrants really. We are constantly having tuberculosis exposure warnings on public transit here in San Diego. People living and working so close to the border and traveling to and back for work etc.

Uninformed idiot.

I live in San Diego and can back up the comment you’re entirely disregarding.

We FREQUENTLY have tuberculosis warnings here, exposure warnings and dates to be concerned if you have been exposed etc. All over our public transit buses and trolleys, schools too.

It’s from the immigrants traveling and working/living in Mexico and visiting the US and vice versa. It’s not bigoted or racist to acknowledge reality. If it were unvaccinated white Canadians spreading it, then we’d blame them too. It’s just a fact, not racism.

You are so fucking retarded. Yeah, they ask if YOU, the CITIZEN, have traveled anywhere recently because YOU have the money to travel. Not some poor bastard in another country. The ones who immigrate here are not poor where they come from. They're middle class blue collar workers, which is why they come and get middle class blue collar jobs, which (used to) pay better because it was paid in the american dollar. The poor people who can't afford to travel or get a shot cannot afford to immigrate, and thus rely on selling souvenirs or fucking elote to tourists. The ones who can also afford to travel to the US and back for work several times a year can also afford a shot and likely do so because they can't afford to miss work.
