By Southwest Nationalist. Some interesting new research into Tuberculosis (TB) has suggested that transfer between racial groups may be less common than previously thought.
The research, carried out by Professor Peter Ormerod of East Lancashire Hospitals, focused on identifying the DNA of cases in Lancashire between 2001-2009.
In 48 clusters of the disease, 9 showed clear evidence that there had been inter-racial transmission.
Many cases among white British were attributed to situations such as heavy drinking, drug use, and white-to-white transmission in pubs.
However, interesting as this research may be, it really doesn’t address the fundamental issues surrounding the TB resurgence in the UK.
Indeed, perhaps the best that Professor Ormerod’s new findings manage to deliver would be the suggestion of insular racial communities where transmission is occurring between members of those communities by simple virtue of the fact that those communities exist in closed groups, mostly apart from other racial groups. Integration does not truly exist.
Since the prevalence of TB among White British is low compared to other groups, and in 9 clusters from 48 (approx 1 in 5) there was inter-racial transmission, we still have no alternative but to arrive at the conclusion that the TB resurgence is indeed due in large part to imported cases.
If we have doubts, we need only look at a recent press release and report from the London Health Program.
“There is a particularly heavy burden of disease among people who were not born in the UK – this group accounts for 84% of TB notifications in London and predominantly feature in people of Indian or black African ethnicity. Over 80% of non-UK born TB notifications entered the UK two or more years prior to diagnosis and a third have been in the UK for ten or more years”.
Figures from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) put approximately 3/4 of cases as being among “those born outside the UK”. For 9% of cases they also had no data on country of origin, which seems to make it likely that many of those cases also originated in the non UK born.
Even among the relatively small number born in the UK, the HPA report tells us only 64% are white (which would presumably include Eastern Europeans and so forth), and that 36% are non white.
The HPA even spells it out – “Higher rates among the UK-born were seen in all nonwhite ethnic groups”
What we can add to this with Professor Ormerods new research is that there is some degree of inter-racial transmission, although perhaps not as high as previously thought.
Which, changes absolutely nothing.
The majority of tuberculosis cases in the UK are still imported, the majority of cases still exist among the non indigenous population.
The huge burden being imposed on health services – anywhere from £2,000 to over £50,000 per case according to the London Health Program – still for the most part originates overseas and not from within the indigenous inhabitants of the UK.
When nearly all cases are occurring among outsiders, it also takes very little inter-racial transmission to significantly increase the rate of infection among the indigenous, especially when considering that the indigenous then pass it on to other indigenous. One inter-racial infection can become many.
Looking at statistics for inter-racial transmission may be interesting, but the solution to preventing the continual rise of tuberculosis within the UK as a whole is obvious, and that solution is to end the mass importation of the people who are bringing this disease to us on a terrifying scale.
With Professor Ormerod’s research illustrating that TB transmission being more confined to within the racial group of the original sufferers than some previously thought, even immigrants already here would have good cause for agreeing that continuing immigration will bring sickness into their community.
As for the indigenous, we are, once again, left picking up the costs and left paying prices on many fronts for yet another benefit of mass immigration that they never told us about.
The future health of our nation depends – not just with tuberculosis, but with HIV, hepatitis and many other transmissible illnesses – on our taking back control of our borders and our bringing the continual influx of people into our nation to a halt.

My father developed TB in 1939, when I was 6 months old. He took 13½ years to die.
TB is a dreadful disease and was virtually eliminated in this country by use of mass X-ray vans which also checked for other chest diseases.
It defies my understanding that people are allowed to enter this country without being checked for dangerous diseases. When I worked in Arabia, everyone seeking a residence permit was checked for a variety of diseases (AIDS, TB, Hepatitis, etc). Nobody objected – it was only common sense.
Everyone living in this country is vulnerable to infection imported from parts of the world where nasty diseses exist.
The increase in the incidence of TB is due entirely to government incompetence. My only consolation is that members of the government and their families are equally exposed to infection as the rest of us.
