Norsegreen,honey, i will explain it. Its not a lack of vaccines. Its environmental.
California is in the grips of a hideous 10 yr "drought"(well, you don't like the word "Climate change ").
When its dry,flea populations go insane,as the nematodes that parasitize flea larvae die in dry soil. 🌡🏜☀️
Rodent populations are also increasing as idiots kill rattlesnakes,& just about any other snake they see as we develop rural areas.
Snakes are important for controlling rodent populations, (which also helps control fleas which spread PLAGUE!) 🐀🐍
As for leprosy, it only ever seen in the USA among those people who eat armadillos.
In Texas it shows up in folks who eat "Hoover pigs".
All old East Coast Southern families know about this risk.
That's why we don't eat armadillos!
Its highly likely that immigrants may be trapping & eating armadillos.
But the folks who want you scared of immigrants don't want you to understand these causes.
They want you to be as scared as possible so you will pony up that extra $8 billion w/out a peep of protest as Trump bankrupt us,& puts us all in GeoCorp run prisons who will rent us out to corporations for peanuts!🥜💲💰👐😎
