Sorry to put a damper on your Schadenfreude, but this has nothing to do with any maga anti-vaccine laws. Although this outbreak is in Kansas, the TB vaccine is not used in the US, not even in blue states, except in rare special cases.

In the United States, BCG is only considered for people who meet specific criteria and in consultation with a TB expert.

(it’s so irritating how people just lap this crap up without an ounce of critical thinking)

You can tell who just read the headlines by the ridiculous “anti-maga” rhetoric,
