Is it strange that a man with a rare form of TB has a father-in-law that specialize in TB research?

I am not big into conspiracy theory but come on; this is a little odd...

Creepy. It sounds like something from a movie. That is just too much of a coincidence...

I know Fathers can be a bit over-protective of their daughters , but that , well , or then again.

Yes. He totally infected his now son in law. Talk about creepy, sad and unfortunate for a heck of a lot of people.
Hmm he works in the CDC with TB and his baby just got married.. move along.. move along.

Yes, I do find it to be VERY strange. Indeed.

What is even odder is that he knew about it and is a lawyer who purposely disregarded a quarantine. and then broke the law again by entering the country illegally again. Sounds like a pre-arranged plan to me to shed light on how much power the cdc wants to gain.

I said the same thing to my husband last night! It does sound very unlikely that he could contract such a rare thing. I'm sure time will tell.

I was thinking the same thing when I heard this story. I think it will come out that the father-in-law had something to do with him contracting XDR-TB. It is just too much of a coincidence.

Its this part of the statement that bothers me that the father in law made - "As part of my job, I am regularly tested for TB. I do not have TB, nor have I ever had TB. My son-in-law's TB did not originate from myself or the CDC's labs, which operate under the highest levels of biosecurity." First - the statement the father in law made was soon after this all went public. Did the father in law have time to study the TB strain his son in law had, to know it wasnt anything he had or the CDC labs had. If he does know he had to have prior knowlege of what kind of TB strain he had weeks ago and still did nothing about it. I'm leaning toward a conspiracy......

If that father-in-law infected his son-in-law, then they can possibly prove it by DNA strains of the bacteria? I am sure there will be intense scrutiny on this. And the guy was a lawyer going overseas to be married and a honeymoon? What a gift to give your new wife???

very strange after watching too many forensic files the father in law might have wanted to get rid of the guy. He needs to call the police....lol

Anyway talk about coincidence, sounds like a good Hollywood script.

It's not a little odd...it's a lot odd. He probably doesn't approve of his new son-in-law. I hope they investigate and find out how he got it.
