By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD

deplorables1In her recent interview on Israel Channel 2, Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton said “I would say you can take Trump supporters and put them in two baskets–there are what I call the Deplorables, the racists, the haters…”

Americans are concerned about rising threats of terrorism as presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump has outlined clearly for the past year. National security concerns are real: there is a dramatic rise in illegal border crossers coming into the US via both our southern and northern borders. Border Patrol sources estimate that more than 75% of illegals continue to come from countries other than Mexico, including countries with state-sponsored terror groups. More than 85% are males aged 18-45, in contrast to past patterns including women and children.

Yet there is another serious threat to Americans not being adequately disclosed to the public by government agencies and most media outlets:  the invisible invaders traveling with humans that carry bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases both rare and previously eradicated in the US.
