This first article just smacks of the EndGame population reduction plan!
So who is letting them loose: U.S. government or U.N.?
You know about the drugs in the water, right?
Hey, it is the PERFECT COVER for the release of MASS PLAGUES!!
"Parasitic diseases plague poor in urban areas, specialist says, specialist says; Problem expected to worsen amid climate change" by Maggie Fox, Reuters | June 25, 2008
WASHINGTON - Diseases caused by worms and parasites are draining the health and energy of the poorest Americans, a specialist said yesterday.
And diseases associated with the developing world, such as dengue fever and Chagas disease, may become a bigger problem for the United States as the climate changes, said Dr. Peter Hotez of George Washington University and the Sabin Vaccine Institute in Washington.
Tying it into the climate change shit now. Pfffffttt!
"The message is a little tough because they are not killer diseases - they impact on child development, intellectual development, hearing, and sometimes even heart disease," Hotez said in a telephone interview.
He said the diseases help to keep people mired in poverty, as infections may last years, decades, or even lifetimes.
"Throughout the American South during the early 20th century, malaria combined with hookworm infection and pellagra [a vitamin deficiency] to produce a generation of anemic, weak, and unproductive children and adults," Hotez wrote.
Less resistance to tyranny that way!
The parasitic diseases are having similar effects now, he said. Hotez reviewed nine diseases affecting at least 10 million Americans for a report in the journal Public Library of Science Neglected Tropical Diseases, which he also edits.
"These diseases occur predominantly in people of color living in the Mississippi Delta and elsewhere in the American South, in disadvantaged urban areas, and in the US-Mexico borderlands, as well as in certain immigrant populations and disadvantaged white populations living in Appalachia," he wrote.
Sort of like AIDS targeting specific groups, 'eh?
This whole thing is just TOO COZY with the pop reduction crap.
They include ascariasis, the most common human worm infection.
It is caused by a parasitic worm that lives in the intestine, and infected just under 4 million people in 1974 according to the last survey, in the South and Appalachia.
Toxocariasis, a roundworm parasite transmitted in dog droppings, infected up to 2.8 million poor black children living in inner cities, the South, and Appalachia, Hotez said.
Transmitted in dog droppings?
So WTF, people EATING IT?
Handling it?
WTF?
I'm not making the connection here (same as bird flu?)!!!
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates these roundworms, which can cause intestinal illness and blindness, infect up to 14 percent of the US population.
Strongyloidiasis is caused by a threadworm that lives in the body and infects 68,000 to 100,000 people. It may cause a hyper-immune reaction in some people.
Cysticercosis caused by the pork tapeworm and giardiasis, a diarrheal illness caused by a one-celled parasite, are also common, Hotez said.
One threat to babies is cytomegalovirus, which infects 27,002 newborn annually, causing deafness and mental retardation.
"It's amazing what we tolerate," Hotez said. He noted the United States spends $1 billion a year preparing for outbreaks of diseases that have not occurred, including smallpox and avian influenza.
I certainly agree with that (torture, lying, spying, looting)!!!!
"But these [other] diseases are occurring among voiceless people," he said. "It's an unintended form of racism in a sense. We need to make these disease household words."
Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, infects as many as 8 to 11 million people in Latin America and may become a US threat, Hotez said.
"In the coming decade, global warming and increased flooding in the region could combine to promote dengue and Chagas disease epidemics among the poor in Louisiana."
Yup, global warming, got ya!
Pfffffttt!
So are they inside your body or not, readers?
"House OK's cut for Medicare insurers; Measure would spare physicians" by Aliza Marcus, Bloomberg News | June 25, 2008
WASHINGTON - Doctors who treat Medicare patients will get a 10 percent cut in their payments July 1 unless Congress finds money to make up the difference. Democrats want to reduce payments to UnitedHealth Group Inc., WellPoint Inc., and other insurers that provide benefits through the program Medicare Advantage. The companies get, on average, 13 percent more than it costs Medicare to offer services itself, according to a congressional advisory commission.
That's why I am/was in favor of nationalized health care!
Private insurers would receive about $12.5 billion less under the House measure than otherwise projected over the five years.
--MORE--"
Ah, yes, the WORMS of WASHINGTON!!!
Well, I can't tell, readers.
Who are the parasites?
