California man charged & jailed for refusing treatment for TB
'A California man, Armando Rodriguez (34), has been charged and arrested for refusing to adhere to treatment for tuberculosis.

He had failed to take eight doses in just 47 days, according to KTLA-TV.

Reports say the man refused to take medication for tuberculosis because he didn’t want to risk liver damage. He said he had alcohol and methamphetamine and was concerned that TB medication would affect his liver...'

Re: California man charged & jailed for refusing treatment for TB
state induced genocide....
Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up. If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu.

Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: �Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?� And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.

Re: California man charged & jailed for refusing treatment for TB
I agree with what happened.
TB is contagious and if you do not follow the meds correctly it evolves and becomes incurable.
If that happens it could infect and kill thousands.

FFs educate yourselves, nearly every country has this policy of arresting and forcing treatment for TB because of idiots who refuse and then go on to unwittingly spread the infection and so kill others with the deadly variants.

what a tard, he drinks and takes drugs and he's worried that TB treatment will damage his liver?

THIS tard is a good example as to why we now have drug resistant forms of TB. He starts the treatment and then stops giving the disease time to reboot, stronger...he should be locked up and forced to be treated as a condition of release, and if he refuses, TYPHOID MARY his ass. That stupid woman caused the death of many people and the ONLY way to stop her was to lock her ass up....TB is deadly and easily spread, you all up on his rights? They YOU go stay with him~

its no risk to others.

as most people carry the tb bacteria anyway.

i mean where do you think this man got it from?

tb is only a problem when your body cant manage bacteria in the lungs.

otherwise most having tb bacteria present isnt going to cause a problem.

this is absolute bullshit, bacteria do not react and become stronger, this is rubbish they tell you to make you think this way.

bacteria may mutate, infact it does regular. some mutations make it resistant to treatment, some dont and some mutations make it more aggressive, some dont.

its only when you have a combination of mutations that makes it resistant and more aggressive that you experience the situation your referring to.

One third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis,[3] with new infections occurring at a rate of about one per second.[3] In 2007, there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic active cases globally,[4] while in 2010 there were an estimated 8.8 million new cases and 1.5 million associated deaths, mostly occurring in developing countries.[5] The absolute number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2006, and new cases have decreased since 2002.[5] The distribution of tuberculosis is not uniform across the globe; about 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries test positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5–10% of the United States population tests positive.[1] More people in the developing world contract tuberculosis because of compromised immunity, largely due to high rates of HIV infection and the corresponding development of AIDS.[

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17604067


About 90% of those infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis remain asymptomatic with only a 10% lifetime chance of getting the disease.

In these conditions, Mycobacterium tuberculosis doesn not fulfil several Koch postulates necessary to demonstrate causation, so it's very unlikely for this microorganism to be the cause of the disease.
