Im just gonna mirror what I said in a earlier post in response to another poster who used the exact same sources in the exact same order as a way to spread fear mongering.
"Yup.What Breitbart selectively left out for political purposes? Well if you read the report you would find:
1.)These refugees are tested for diseases when they come to the US. Its part of the screenings.
2.)If these refugees do test positive they immediately start a treatment program "Minnesota’s LTBI treatment completion rate for refugees who start treatment is one of the highest in the nation at 86 percent in 2013"
More petty fear mongering.
1.)These refugees are tested for diseases when they come to the US. Its part of the screenings.
2.) The article claims that TB patients are not allowed into the US. Well thats only half the story. What Breitbart against chose to selectivley left out was the sentence following the one they quoted. "Although refugees found to have active tuberculosis (TB) on their overseas health screening are not permitted to enter the U.S. until they are treated and no longer infectious, all refugees are still screened for tuberculosis infection and disease during their domestic health screening. Refugees found to have latent TB infection are not infectious and cannot spread TB infection to others (CDC, 2014) and are offered treatment at no cost to them" In other words if you are not infectious you are allowed to enter the US
3.)As Breidbart admits, "is unclear whether these four refugees had infectious active TB prior to their arrival.". Then he claims the CDC failed at testing them before they came to Indiana.... Hmmm....
4.)And oh yea, as the report says the goal is to check for health issues and then connect the refugees with proper medical care... SO yea, they were given treatment for their active TB
"In 2015, 97.4 percent of TB cases were started on the recommended initial therapy and 96.7 percent of cases in 2014 completed their therapy. There was one case of multi-drug resistant TB in Indiana, a slight decrease from 2014."
