Symptomatic Chikungunya

Symptomatic Chikungunya

 

Chikungunya isn’t some new poultry dish or the latest Latino dance craze.  No such luck.  Rather, it just may be another unintended consequence of the southern invasion of the United States by tens of thousands, possibly soon hundreds of thousands, of un-inoculated, often disease-ridden, illegal aliens who, along with their backpacks, carry with them communicable ailments never before seen in America as well as sicknesses we thought had been eradicated.

Add to those thousands the eleven or twelve million un-inoculated, often disease-ridden, illegal aliens who have already set up residence here and we have a problem, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, etc., a problem with serious, national repercussions.

Don’t expect the Barack Hussein Obama administration to announce that medical news since they have enabled and encouraged said invasion and they certainly wouldn’t want to be held responsible for either the disabling or deadly epidemics that could be in our future.

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national public health institute of the United States, an agency operating under the aegis of the Department of Health and Human Services, has provided Americans with some insight on the chikunguya danger.

As explained on the CDC website: “Chikungunya–virus transmitted to people by mosquitoes. The most common symptoms of chikungunya virus infection are fever and joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. Outbreaks have occurred in countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In late 2013, chikungunya virus was found for the first time in the Americas on islands in the Caribbean. There is a risk that the virus will be imported to new areas by infected travelers. There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat chikungunya virus infection. Travelers can protect themselves by preventing mosquito bites. When traveling to countries with chikungunya virus, use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and stay in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens.”

The CDC boasts as its motto, “CDC 24/7–”Saving Lives, Protecting People,” but to date has done little if anything to save and protect Americans from chikungunya or from worse diseases like tuberculosis and polio being imported to our country from the south. . . .
