From epidemiologist Vera Dolan: the new epidemic of enterovirus in the US heartland may be due to Obama’s administration’s flying illegal...

Dear Orly,

I have done a little research on the enterovirus outbreak. This strain of enterovirus (EV-D68) is uncommon. I believe that you have a good case to make that this outbreak is associated with the influx of illegal alien children.

The reason why I believe this stems from the unusual geographic distribution of the outbreaks of EV-D68 reported to the CDC. The 10 most affected states are Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Kentucky. It is unusual that these states run across the center of our country, and that the states on the border of Mexico are not reporting such an outbreak.

I believe that the border states have populations that already had been endemically exposed previously over time to EV-D68 from prior exposure to illegal aliens carrying this virus. This means that the new influx of illegal alien children did not cause any outbreaks of EV-D68 this year in states bordering Mexico, because those residents are already immune from past exposure to illegal aliens. However, I believe that this new massive influx of illegal alien children has been transported to the above listed states, and thus they have infected children who had never been exposed to EV-D68.

The children who are being hospitalized with acute EV-D68 infections are those who are especially susceptible to new infections due to their compromised health status from asthma, severe allergies or other underlying health condition. These children had never been exposed previously to such a large population of infected illegal alien children.

Just my thoughts.
