A leading healthcare advocacy group is calling out the Centers for Disease Control for allowing refugees to enter the United States without first screening and treating them for latent tuberculosis.
Dr. Jane Orient, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, noted that seven of the CDC’s own public health experts said that those screenings “would potentially save millions of dollars and contribute to United States TB elimination goals,” in research that was published in December, Breitbart News reported.
“Admitting people who might cause an epidemic makes no sense whatsoever from a public health standpoint,” Orient told Breitbart in an interview.
“It suggests that those who favor it do not care about the cost in suffering, death, and expense to Americans,” Orient said, adding that she is in agreement with the public health experts currently or formerly employed at the CDC who concluded that the screenings and successful treatment of those who test positive is the proper public health policy for the U.S.
