The media recently reported that Los Angeles County’s ongoing typhus epidemic had infected Deputy City Attorney Liz Greenwood.

Typhus was so associated with Mexico that it was even known as Tabardillo or Mexican typhus fever...

We know how to stop typhus. It begins with ending public vagrancy and illegal migration....
