The very odd emergence of this virus at this time \u2013 especially just prior to the new school year and now fueled by the congregation of children in schools \u2013 demands an explanation. The only plausible one is that this has been brought here from south of the \u2013 now non-existent \u2013 border. <\/p>\n<p>Although there will be a good deal of epidemiological work to be done before this can be scientifically associated, there is a deafening silence on the part of public health officials and the mainstream media in even speculating about this association. This is not simply a case of being politically selective about the news, it is downright dangerous and could be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the emergence of diseases long absent from daily life in America now suddenly popping up &#8220;inexplicably.&#8221; By the way the article from the Journal that I cited [linked above] likely represents gross underreporting which is typical in South America.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report: Twin Cities internist Chris Foley is a faithful reader whom I know in his professional capacity.
