Additionally, HIV prevention strategies such as male circumcision may be playing a role, although definitive studies of this effect are still pending.The practice of surgery on functioning and vital organ of a male infant who is too young to consent is barbaric. Mass genital mutilation to prevent the spread of HIV is a solution worse than its problem. In the former case, you have an innocent child robbed of sexual pleasure, possibly deformed, exposed to the risks of an unnecessary surgery, all for an unproven benefit. In the latter case, a grown adult has had opportunity for education about HIV, can reduce risk with barrier methods, and in the end can choose to have sex with only a few safe partners instead of wanton promiscuity. HIV is an insignificant problem for intelligent adults who take responsibility for their own actions and is a sham justification for an outdated and unethical religious practice.   every single exclusion should stand as not being allowed in thos this country. in addtiohn, ebola and lassa and investigation of other horrific diseases also need to be added. I am shockedat the lazy, inept, stupid way this list was formed so that all kinds of disease are brought into this country so that taxpayrs can bears the brunt of payingfor the medical treatment of all these sneaking leaching lawbreaking aliens. none of them have any health documents and this agency seems to be saying welcome and well let American taxpaeyrs pay all your expenses. what a horrible idea for American taxpayers/citizens. we are being pauperized by ththe stupidity and ineptness of this agency. hiv should not be let into this country so they can become a public ward. let their own countries pay for their problems. we dont want hem here. they didnt get it here so lket them have it treated in their own country where they got this disease. why let in diseased people?  taxpayers in America are being gouged over and overand over again for these sick and diseased foreigners. we simply cannot pay for the entire world. these diseased people are a real threat to America and the American people. why would you let in unvaccinated childrenunder ten to bring disease in to our kids, who are pretty healthy. no way should American taxpayers be paying the medi cal bills of all thjese potential immigrans. they need to pay their own medical bills before they gethere to show fitness to come here. these freed rides need to stop. American citizens dont get them. we are gouged for every sinof medical care we get. we dont get freebies. we pay and pay and pay. cdc  has been proven and is notorious for being politcail hacks with no real concern for medicine.  they want ot let alien immigrants have a free pass and yet own the bodies of all American citizens. the problem is withthe health of the immigrants, not here. this ount of control leaching by aliens is outrageous. it is also time to shut down diverswity imigrants entirely. we have more than enough diversity in the usa with people here from every country on earth. we dont need any more diversity. in fact its hard to fina fellow American anymore. letting in Chinese from yulin for example means we have to worry about whether our cats and dogs are being served as food. we need to select foreigners who we want to let in , not jjuust let in any old culture with bad habits. the tps people have been here 20 years fro Honduras and theirdisaster evaporated ten years ago and yet political chicnanery still has them here. 20 years is not tempoirary. add ebols and lass to the list and start examining what other diseases need to be added to this list. there was no public comment when you took hiv off the list and it is time for this issue to be decided again. I see no reason for making American taxpayers into saps for the diseases of those who caused themselves to be sick with hiv from insane sex practices. keep out the hivs. cdc pulled a fast one on the American public on changing the hiv status and prevented public comment on this. also to say a disease isnt reported does not mean it is not present. us doctorsare notorioiusly deficient in sending reports of diseases. they dont send in anything. your information collection from them is notoriuosjy insufficient. all kids under ten from foreign countries who seek to come here need to be fully vaccinated. they bring diseases ijnto places lke Disney world and land to cause diseases in aemrican kids. cdc is fully political and not rtruly health wise at all. you are more lax with foreigners.  cdc cuases muchfinancial harm to American taxpayers. your chart in this proposal is vacuous, inept and meaningless. I am shocked at how inept and inaccurate this proposal is. your staff needs to befired and you need more accuracy in what you do at the cdc. this agency is so busy hiding out from the American public and answering no questions that it  has affected the insane thinking at this edivision.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is amending its regulations that govern medical examinations that aliens must undergo before they may be admitted to the United States. While I agree with most of the newly proposed rule, there are parts that are troublesome to me. One particular part is The HHS/CDC is amending the definition of communicable disease of public health significance. They are actually removing some of the diseases they have been testing for off the list. I would protest this intensely. The HHS/CDC is also amending the provisions that describe the scope of the medical examination for aliens by incorporating a more flexible, risk-based approach, based on medical and epidemiologic factors. I also would disagree with this section of the rule also.In this day and age, removing known communicable diseases from the CDC short list could be potentially dangerous. With the threat of easily spread disease like EBOLA, Bird and Swine Flu, and many, many, others the time to even more vigilant could not be more imperative. Be easing restrictions on disease testing and shortening the list, you run the potential disaster or outbreak scenario happening. Aliens must tested stringently, including extensive medical examinations to prevent these nightmare scenarios. Its time tighten these policies, not loosen them. While most of the proposed Rule is sound, these two items are the most troubling in my opinion. While I understand the need to adjust the health regulations for aliens of the United States, it seems this rule takes it a bit too far. As we all should know, scientific knowledge has improved, and will continue to improve drastically overtime. Thus, medical advances have been made possible, and many diseases are not nearly as contagious and deadly as they used to be. However, by revoking such diseases as syphilis, leprosy, and gonorrhea of communicable disease status, that may lead to a lessening of preventative measures taken in order to prevent such diseases as may have been previously used. These diseases are still going to have public health significance, especially if they are thought of as diseases that will not cause any danger. For example, if one individual thinks nothing of his/her STD and assumes his/her sexual partner will not catch the STD or that if they do, it will taper off on its own, that individual will likely spare themselves the embarrassment and carry on without notifying the partner. Then, if the partner catches it, never realizes, or does realize it and doesnt think much of it, this entire process carries on. It is too risky to the public good to downgrade the urgency of these types of preventable diseases. As an American-born citizen, I can say with the utmost confidence that I would appreciate aliens going through extensive health screenings before entering the nation or coming in contact with fellow Americans. In history, there are countless occurrences of plagues taking over nations and killing off much of the populations. Whilst I know medical technologies have drastically advanced since these days, I also believe that there are many diseases that have not even been introduced yet and it is important to continue the current procedure in order to ensure nothing new plagues the nation. As far as foreign vaccinations go, I would suggest that all foreign aliens be required to receive all the same required vaccinations that Americans receive if they want to be a part of this nation. This goes back to the same reasoning of not wanting a new, foreign disease to somehow be introduced to the American people, most if not all of whom would not be immune to such. I would assert that a proof of vaccination from their home country is unnecessary because I would suggest giving them vaccinations anyways, as you cannot always trust they would present legitimate certificates or that the doctors operated in professional, sterile environments. With all these new regulations and requirements being proposed, I would personally assert these standards to all immigrants: 1) if their intentions for coming into the US is for work and opportunity, they should at least be near the American health average. Treat them as American citizens are treated. Hold everyone to the same standard. 2) if their intentions for immigrating to the US is for better healthcare and a doctor who holds the skill set to potentially save their life (which is certainly a valid possibility) from a disease for which their native doctors have little to no treatment/cure, make sure they are properly insured in their country so as not to cost American taxpayers money for services which will not benefit them.
