'Unprecedented' TB Outbreak in Kansas with Nearly 70 Cases
Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced 67 active outbreak cases and 79 latent infections in Kansas City, KS, since 2024. The majority of cases were declared to have broken out in Wyandotte County and Johnson County, just west and southwest of the metro area.
But despite this, officials stated that the outbreak had a very low risk to the general public and surrounding counties.
In addition to the growing avian flu epidemic, here is another potential health crisis for the Trumpf administration. His purposeful choice of quacks, unreputable experts, and mountebanks will no doubt hurt the American people as Caroline Kennedy testified to. This man below also knows.
Vladimir Solovyov
On his show, Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov shared a particularly grim prediction of what Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and the other Trump Cabinet appointments might mean for Americans:
“What an excellent team is coming along with Trump! Not with respect to Ukraine, but as far as everything else goes. If they are allowed to get in, they will quickly dismantle America, brick by brick. They are so great!”
