WND's Corsi Thinks Illegal Immigrants Are Bring Smallpox Into U.S.
Topic: WorldNetDaily
In a Feb. 13 video posted on WorldNetDaily's Facebook feed, Jerome Corsi lists diseases purportedly making a resurgence in the U.S. as a result of "open borders" and illegal immigration.
Corsi lists measles, of course, because he apparently didn't get the memo that the measles vaccination rate in Latin America is equivalent to that of the U.S. But then Corsi starts bloviating that "various diseases that have been eradicated from the United States, including smallpox and other diseases coming from Latin America, Mexico, South America through illegal immigration."
Wait, smallpox? The disease that was eradicated worldwide in 1980 and exists today only in two highly secure laboratories for research purposes? That smallpox? Apparently so.
Thank you, Mr. Corsi, for reminding us that you're a major reason why nobody believes WND.

(34,661 posts)1. More and more we see what the so called Media is up to.
Sudden impact story telling whether or not it is true or a total piece of fiction. With Focus Groups and Political Media Consultants employed by most so called Media Outlets,we are going to see more and more of this type of garbage. They know full well it is the first mental impact that counts,and if they are busted,there might be some retraction or deflection to a false equivalency. It's all about first impression.

And don't forget Jerome Corsi is the Birther who used a fuzzy photo of Obama's ring to "prove he's a Muslim."
