This is a developing NEW story.
The center of our nation is seeing a sudden, unexpected, and unexplainable outbreak of the tuberculosis (TB) virus. Many are using the term “historic” which may or may not be true as over 60 have been diagnosed. There have been 66 documented active and 77 latent cases since January 17 found in Kansas.
A look at data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) offers the following data:
- 2024: The US Reported 8,040 as of mid-December
- 2023: The US reported 9,633 cases
- 2022: The US reported 8,332 cases
- 2021: The US reported 7,866 cases
- 2020: The US reported 7,170 cases
While the cause of this resurgence is unknown and under investigation, some are saying this was caused by the open border policy of the Biden-Harris Administration 2021-2024.

Others are pointing out that this is the result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. For someone with latent TB, contracting COVID-19 could activate the bacterium, potentially leading to an accelerated and more severe form of the disease. This theory is speculative for now.
What we know for sure from a variety of sources:
- An estimated 13 million Americans with latent TB are walking around.
- Research seems to suggest COVID-19 activates latent TB.
- TB can be transmitted asymptomatically.
- A single viable TB bacillus, once inhaled, is sufficient to produce the infection.
- Certain occupations, like working on a chicken farm, can produce a positive TB test.
- Use of tobacco products can weaken the immune system for TB.
The main symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) include prolonged coughing with production of sputum that could be bloody, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. The disease is usually diagnosed with a combination of a chest X-ray and blood test.
The CDC reports medical treatment can involve combinations of medications such as Rifapentine, Isoniazid and Rifampin. Treatment for active TB disease can take four, six or nine months and may include combinations of medications such as Ethambutol, Isoniazid, Moxifloxacin, Rifampin, Rifapentine or Pyrazinamide, according to the CDC.
The Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is known to have begun in Wyandotte County which takes in a portion of Kansas City, the most populated area of Kansas.
CONCLUSION:
Other states have reported increased numbers of TB cases as well. Those states include California and Nevada. Grok AI reports:
“In 2023, Nevada experienced a 40% increase in tuberculosis (TB) cases, the highest number in 10 years. The state has also seen an increase in the number of people with TB who were not born in the U.S.”
Despite being both preventable and curable, TB is one of the world’s leading infectious disease killers. While it has never been eradicated completely in the United States, the US has been a country with one of the lowest TB rates globally. The lowest number of TB cases in the United States was in 2018, when the incidence rate was 2.8 per 100,000 people. This was the lowest rate since the CDC began tracking TB in 1953. In 2023 that rate went up to 2.9 per 100,000 people.
Finally, there is a vaccine for TB but it is widely reported as not working very well. The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine for tuberculosis is available for those who may want to try it.
The politics of this sudden virus outbreak has got many in the Trump Administration both concerned and angry. Once again we are looking to deal with what appears to be another possible orchestrated psychological operation (PSYOP) of an invisible inhaled particulate matter that can make one ill. This is similar to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the Bird Flu now circulating the country.
Just this past week it came out that the CIA knew all along the COVID-19 virus came out of the Wuhan, China lab. This proves, once again, President Trump was right when he called it the, “The China Virus.”

President Donald Trump is reported to have dropped a “FAFO” mean tweet on social media platforms this week that is akin to Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) cop saying, “Do you feel lucky punk? Make my day!”
This time around Trump is clearly in charge and instead of having to worry who has his back, now the globalists of the Deep State are going to have to worry about who has theirs.
It is to be noted that March 24 of every year is global Tuberculosis Awareness Day. You should know the signs and get help immediately when you get sick.
