The problem is immunity debt to tuberculosis from the lockdowns. Remember to get infected with TB yearly so that your immune system is “topped up” and knows how to fight it! You don’t want a weakened immune system from needlessly protecting yourself, or babies, from incredibly dangerous pathogens.
Health officials in Omaha, Nebraska, are wasting no time in testing over 500 infants, toddlers, and children who may have been exposed to an active tuberculosis case at a local daycare. The Douglas County Health Department (DCHD) declared a public health emergency Friday.
In a press release, DCHD said the exposures occurred at a daycare at the Westview YMCA, which provides “drop-in” care, allowing members to drop off their kids as they use the facility. The exposures occurred between May 21, 2023, and October 30, 2023.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Douglas County Health Director Lindsay Huse said officials should start getting testing results from the younger children midweek and should have a better picture of transmission and the full scope of testing needed by sometime next week. Huse estimated that there are about 250 children in the 4-and-under group and 300 in the 5-and-up group. Any children infected will further expand the number of people potentially exposed
Hint: only about 5% of children in that age group got the vaccine for it.
