Florida Accused of Concealing Worst Tuberculosis Outbreak In 20 Years
NotSanguine writes "The state of Florida has been struggling for months with what the Centers for Disease Control describe as the worst tuberculosis outbreak in the United States in twenty years. Although a CDC report went out to state health officials in April encouraging them to take concerted action, the warning went largely unnoticed and nothing has been done. The public did not even learn of the outbreak until June, after a man with an active case of TB was spotted in a Jacksonville soup kitchen. The Palm Beach Post has managed to obtain records on the outbreak and the CDC report, though only after weeks of repeated requests. These documents should have been freely available under Florida's Sunshine Law."
Good point, I should go vote for the party that says I don't own my own body and censorship is a good idea! Ron Paul 2012!
Gaah I am so sick of you libertards. Did you never grow out of being a 14 year old angry white male or something?
You idiots talk up a fine game about freedom and liberty but all you seem to think about is cash, COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to the far more important freedoms your party's naive idiology destroys.
Don't try to trump your profession up like you're better than anyone else. You weren't volunteering. You were doing it for the paycheck, just like everyone else. And despite your claim that you don't judge people, you did it all over your post.
If you want to pat your own back, do a few years with some real heroes and get back to me.
