Also known as shigellosis, dysentery is a highly contagious bacterial disease that can cause fever, cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. It is spread very easily from person to person when someone gets f-cal matter from an infected person into their mouth, health officials say. According to the health department, two types of Shigella typically circulate in Oregon. Although both strains can cause severe diarrhea, officials are not seeing the strain which can cause more severe or fatal illness. However, they note the strains circulating in Multnomah County are resistant to several antibiotics.

Shigella cases have been rising in Multnomah County since 2012, officials said. But health department data on dysentery cases collected by the county from 2017-2024 shows a marked increase in the number of cases between 2023 and 2024 [96 to 158]. Further, January 2025 showed 40 cases reported…

But of the most recent cluster of cases, the county said 56% were among people experiencing homelessness and 55% of the cases reported methamphetamine or opiate usage. They have also also identified a spread among housed and unhoused social groups who use drugs.

I imagine in the next several years there will be more stories like this. Public health is not a priority at this time.

Killing them off quicker gets rid of ONE problem. But getting dead people to vote is maybe not so hard for them.

Which bothers the “JCs” not one whit. They can afford to fly anywhere in the world, to enjoy the treatments that are developed at other government’s expense, using researchers that were educated at other government’s expense.

The JCs are not the ones who get worried. It is the politicians who lose a lot of living voters. Too dead “dead voters” and the politicians get replaced with one that may not have the same perspective on the role of JCs (most of them are NOT JCs. They just invest cash–which is not what an actual JC does).
