The left continues to weaponize viruses, this time kids are their vehicles.

The government is releasing thousands of illegal immigrant children with latent tuberculosis infections into American communities without assurances of treatment.

Nearly 2,500 children with latent infections were released into 44 states over the past year, according to a court-ordered report on how the Health and Human Services Department is treating the children.

About 126,000 total were released, indicating an infection rate of 1 in 50 migrant children.

The government says it can’t treat the children because they are in custody for a short time and treatment requires three to nine months. HHS releases infected children to sponsors and notifies local health authorities in the hope that they can arrange for treatment before the latent infection becomes active.

Those hopes are often dashed.

More and more it is looking like the releases of people either with criminal records or illegal immigrants carrying infectious diseases is intentional. These kids should be quarantined until their symptoms subside, but the federal government would rather put people’s lives at risk.

Tuberculoisis is very serious in which there is even a strain that can resist antibiotic treatments normally used to treat TB patients. This just goes to show how much the Biden administration doesn’t care about the American people. He made it abundantly clear during his presidential campaign.
