TB patient charged in Calif for not taking meds

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Armando Rodriguez was warned several times to continue taking his tuberculosis medicine.
At one point, authorities said, he told his case officer he stopped the treatment out of concern for his liver while binging on alcohol and methamphetamine.
So on Tuesday, authorities took the unusual step of arresting Rodriguez and charging him with refusing to comply with a tuberculosis order to be at home at certain times and make appointments to take his medication.

It's a move that divides public health officials.
"I think it's an error to confine someone in the criminal justice system for a public health crime," said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University public health law professor who drafted a model law adopted by several states struggling with the issue. "The whole intention is to protect the public's health. It's not to lay blame on someone."

Yes we are becoming a socialist nation. We hardly need this story to prove that.

But yes we do need to see that people who are a public threat take medicine if it helps. Did he have active TB and would the medicine help?

When I tested positive for TB, but did not have the disease, they gave me a choice - take the drug or don't get accepted to college. That was coercion. In my case I posed no risk to anyone else.

When my daughter needed glasses this year the county health department got involved and honestly they acted like nazi's. Seriously, we are talking about eyeglasses and I was doing everything that needed to be done.

When people want or do not want vaccines it should be a choice.

When a person has active TB and is coughing blood it is not longer a choice as they are a threat to everyone who breaths the same air.
 
The guy has a death wish. If he was suicidal wouldn't he be put into a hospital? Or should he just be allowed to go around infecting others.
 
And get this,,The U.S Supreme Court says that state nor government cant be sued if a vaccine cause blindness,deafness or any other birth defects. and they also said you cant sue your HMO provider because of improper care. You should be able to sue the government of youre forced to take the vaccine if anything happens to you. Just like Drug companies can be sued but the government cant be sued for it.
 
Teacher yells at student because of a question he asked about Obama!



"Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush?" the teacher said toward the end of the argument, telling the student, "you are not supposed to slander the president."

The student told the teacher that one can't be arrested "unless you threaten the president."

Of course she does ...

Just like the 91% of blacks who voted for Obama believe he's the best President this Country has ever seen, despite all the facts that suggest otherwise.

Just like the 91% of blacks who believe Zimmerman pursued Martin and shot him in the back, despite all the facts that suggest otherwise.

a curious fact I had explained to me by a black friend regarding well paid pastors in poor black churches that perhaps explains the BO reaction; he said they find if one of their own can be elevated in such a way (money) that its somehow a good thing for them. Kind of explains Jesse and Rev Al eal too.
 
Well what about the Teacher in Cambridge Mass who made this video about the Bush Admin and nothing was done to her
Double Standard?

Is it even worth questioning a "double standard"?

This is why I home school my children. Well, for the most part we don't have the political issues in our public schools here. But, there are plenty of other reasons here to home school your children, if possible!
