So, perusing Teh Twitters this afternoon, I came across this RT from our friend Prudence:

Disease Tsunami Washing Across Our Border http://t.co/5T7yZTOLKV #IBDEditorials #SisterPatriots #tcot #ccot

— Linda Suhler, Ph.D. (@LindaSuhler) July 18, 2014

The link points to an editorial in Investor’s Business Daily, which riffs off a report by ABC News. As you can expect, the IBD editorial plays up the “OMG! Alien-borne diseases! We’re all gonna die!!” angle, while completely ignoring the latter half of the ABC report saying there’s really nothing to worry about. The doctors have things under control.

“My biggest concerns are with the health of these children,” said Richard Besser, ABC News’ chief health and medical editor. “They are victims going through incredibly stressful circumstances and some will have health issues that need to be treated. Some come from countries that don’t vaccinate against pneumonia or meningitis. They need those vaccines. Some come from countries where it is flu season. They need that vaccine, too. The big health risks are among these children, not to our communities.”

Curious about the original tweeter, Linda Suhler Ph.D. — that’s how all her articles, comments, blogs, etc., are signed: Linda Suhler P-H-D — I checked her Twitter profile.

Unabashed & unapologetic Constitutional Conservative, working with you to save our nation. #SisterPatriots #2A #ProLife #ProIsrael #antiObama #PJNET #tcot #WAAR

Arizona Texan! #CruztoVictory

Boo-rah!

She’s got a ridiculous number of followers (69K) and has tweeted a ridiculous number of times. But my google-fu has failed to turn up exactly what she got her Ph.D. in, and why people seem to think she’s such hotshit.

Anybody here know?
