If they don't behead you, the fucking diseased bastards will get you that way!

Refugees have brought the potentially fatal and highly-contagious bacterial infection diphtheria into Denmark and authorities are warning hospitals there could be an outbreak. Two Libyan refugees were found to have the infection, the Danish State Serum Institute (SSI) said on Tuesday. Diphtheria - spread through coughs and sneezes, or contact with someone with the infection or their belongings - has not been seen in the country since 1998. 'The infection [diphtheria] can be very dangerous if one isn’t vaccinated against it,' Kurt Fuursted, spokesperson for the SSI told Danish newspaper Metroxpress. 'There is no doubt that infectious diseases are coming...

Many diseases absent in the west were carried by refugees

Migrants in Germany are also refusing to be treated by female docs, and are abandoning their children in pharmacies. They ruin everything they touch.

A female doctor has claimed German hospitals are struggling to deal with the number of refugees
The female anaesthetist said the German health service has been completely overwhelmed by the influx of Muslim asylum-seekers who are REFUSING to be treated by female medics.

In a furious outburst the experienced doctor said hospitals simply cannot cope because so many of the migrants require treatments for diseases long since eradicated in Europe.

She also shockingly claimed migrant parents are abandoning their children at pharmacies across the country after being told that they have to pay a prescription charge for lifesaving drugs.

In one shocking incident medic also claimed how migrants STABBED the doctors who tried to save a tiny eight-month-old baby which had been "dragged across half of Europe for three months".

She said: "The child died in two days, despite having received top care at one of the best pediatric clinics in Germany.

"The physician had to undergo surgery and two nurses are laid up in the ICU. Nobody has been punished.

"The local press is forbidden to write about it, so we know about it through email.

"What would have happened to a German if he had stabbed a doctor and nurses with a knife?

European Liberals welcome the refugees, they can't wait to see their countries and their western culture destroyed.

AIDS eradicated in the UK, really?

If the German leaders had a brain cell that worked they would kick these refugees right the hell out of Germany.

I'm sure the German citizens would cheer and the taxpayers would cheer louder.

Trying to do something the leaders consider decent and good has bitten them right in the ass.

Come election time I think these leaders will be voted out.

Ah....yes....multiculturalism!!!

Folks we can't have the wonderful liberal dream of multiculturalism WITHOUT getting the full experience of all of their culture. Disease. Beheadings. Rape. All the wonderful cultural experiences of the Middle East.

Mmmmmmm.....I feel so much more wordly, tolerant and enlightened.

Diphtheria makin' a comeback...

Diphtheria: What Exactly Is It ... And Why Is It Back?
December 8, 2017 - In the first century, a doctor called Aretaeus of Cappadocia described the rotting smell of "Egyptian ulcers." Ancient Chinese medical literature mentions a disease called "children-killing carbuncle." In 17th century Spain there were references to an illness known as "the strangler."

They were talking about diphtheria, a highly infectious respiratory disease that colonizes a person's nose and throat, creating a thick layer of dead cells that can block the airway. It has always had a reputation for sickening children. With the introduction of a highly effective vaccine in the 1920s and early '30s, diphtheria faded away in much of the world. Today it's largely considered a disease of the past. But now it's back in the headlines, spreading quickly in places like Bangladesh and Yemen. The World Health Organization says it is sending a shipment of antitoxins to Bangladesh this weekend, after six deaths in a Rohingya refugee settlement. The organization did the same last week for Yemen, where at least 30 have died of the bacterial infection, many of them children. "It is shocking that in 2017, there are children dying of an ancient disease that is vaccine-preventable and can be easily treated," says Dr. Nevio Zagaria, the WHO representative in Yemen.

What does the name diphtheria mean?

First things first. The disease is named for the bacterium that causes it: Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Diphthera is Greek for "skin" or "hide," a reference to the thick membrane that forms in air passages. It can be pronounced two ways: "diff-THEE-ree-uh" or "dip-THEE-ree-uh."

How does it spread?

The bacterium that causes diphtheria can live in some people without causing them to show symptoms, which can occasionally lead to a Typhoid Mary-type situation where a person spreads it around without even realizing he has it.

Children get their diphtheria inoculation in 1944.​

It spreads between people in infected coughs and sneezes. Kids can also pick it up from playing with contaminated toys. Symptoms include sore throat, a low fever and lack of appetite, followed by a visible grayish coating in the nose or throat, and a swollen throat sometimes called a "bullneck."

What does it do to people?

The bacteria attach to the lining of the respiratory system and produce a poison that starts killing healthy tissue. It does so by preventing cells from creating proteins, which essentially shuts them down. After a few days, it can kill so many cells that dead tissue forms a grayish layer in the nose and throat that can make it hard to breathe or swallow. Essentially, it can choke a person on his own dead cells. If the poison also gets into the bloodstream, it can damage vital organs like the heart and kidneys. Interestingly, there are actually two layers of infection going on here, because it's a virus inside the bacterium that causes it to create the toxin in the first place. Eventually, the illness can cause nerve damage, paralysis and respiratory failure.

How do you treat it?
