I cannot even understand the reasoning of these people. I did not expect "consumption" to be a thing during my lifetime.
Consumption? Check
Weird isolationist grifter president? Check
Anarchists? Hell check
The maga dipshits overshot 1950s and sent us back to 1901, strap in
Only thing different is the nazis are running the USA this time
The Nazis got their ideas from looking at what America did to genocide the natives. Hell even the Spanish american war feels about to break out again because some loudmouth oligarchs seem hell bent on doing imperialism in 2025
Oh it predates the US. The Crusades eliminated massive numbers of people in the name of Christianity. There have been innumerable cullings through history based on ideas of righteousness, pureness, etc. just because the guys with the power want land.
Don't forget Jim Crow. The Nazis got a lot of their segregation and eugenics crap from the U.S.
What ideas did they get? And please look up what imperialism means
While Hitler admired the jim crow laws he was disgusted by the idea of the US! A melting pot where the “superiors” loose their national identity and merge with the “lessers” to be something else?!?? That would waste allll the hard work he put in to instill that toxic nationalism
And no the nazis didn’t copy seig heil hand motion from the us, which children were required to do at the pledge of allegiance! The thing was made up by an Italian propagandist as the roman salute, a salute that the romans supposedly did. That was copied later on by everyone else!
They just love being consumers
Except we don't typically vaccinate people in the US against TB.
Few healthcare workers even get that particular jab.
More than you'd think. TB has geographic ties, so people in known high-risk areas generally get BCG, especially healthcare workers and people with autoimmune diseases.
The point stands, though. TB can come from unexpected vectors and there is no traditional vaccine offered to the public. Until that happens, it doesn't make as much sense to blame tuberculosis on a state that may also be making boneheaded decisions regarding vaccines in general. Just the ones who would say no when it was offered.
I am now taking a hard look at voluntarily getting this vaccine for sure.
It might be hard to get since it's not commonly used here.
Even the CDC website says that the tuberculosis vaccine is not commonly used in the US.
And Kansas is not a high-risk area.
Yes. I have had every recommended childhood vaccine and get annual flu and COVID vaccines. I have never had a TB vaccine, nor been recommended to get one.

A TB outbreak in Kansas is of course a massive concern, but relating it to their vaccine exemption law? Did they outlaw TB testing, because that's something that used to be routinely done for school admission.
I can't recall our GenA kids needing the weird stabby test I had to take when I was a kid but honestly didn't even think about it before now.
Make America La Bohème again
Thanks, Trump
Find out, yes. Fuck around and find out.
Sorry to put a damper on your Schadenfreude, but this has nothing to do with any maga anti-vaccine laws. Although this outbreak is in Kansas, the TB vaccine is not used in the US, not even in blue states, except in rare special cases.
In the United States, BCG is only considered for people who meet specific criteria and in consultation with a TB expert.
See https://www.cdc.gov/tb/webcourses/TB101/page7181.html and https://www.cdc.gov/tb/hcp/vaccines/index.html
(it's so irritating how people just lap this crap up without an ounce of critical thinking)
You can tell who just read the headlines by the ridiculous "anti-maga" rhetoric,
