re: In 2018, 1.5 MILLION died from Tuberculosis

Hey kids, if you collect Logical Fallacies, this is a classic. It's called a "red herring," which is to say, injecting a true but irrelevant fact into a debate.

---

Not for nothing, but kids while learning about red herrings is very important be sure to also avoid partaking in the "the fallacy fallacy," as it can lead to looking ridiculous.

Let's see 1.5 mil died from TB with zero social distancing and essentially no mask wearing. Meanwhile, we have mask wearing mandated by law across the world in many countries, extreme social distancing, and a partial shut down of the world's economy and we will pass the total TB deaths by the end of December

---

I think the point trying to be made is that nobody cared about 1.5 million dying from TB but Covid for whatever reason will lead to a world wide shutdown.

Masks were never required to prevent all the flu deaths, TB deaths, common cold deaths, whooping cough deaths...

I mean for f's sakes y'all, you're comparing us with the likes of India and Bangladesh. Is that who you think our peers are or should be?

---

You're right. The elections in those two countries are far more efficient and reliable than ours.

Just curious as to why we decided to treat Covid-19 differently then more deadly diseases with effective vaccinations.

---

I think you answered your own question....because a vaccine exists tor TB, but one doesnt exist for COVID. Once a COVID vaccine becomes readily available, it will no longer be an issue.

quote:

---

In 2018, there were more than 10 million cases of active TB which resulted in 1.5 million deaths.

---

How many of those were wealthy people or white people in general?

Less than 100 white people die in the US annually from TB and it is usually people with AIDS. If TB fatalities were rampant in upper class, educated white America then they'd probably be losing their minds about that, too.

You proved Masks don't work so let's stop pretending they do, and that 1.5M TB is with an available vaccine, and therapeutics.

Not to mention, the global lockdowns are going to lead to more TB cases (upwards of 6.3 million more TB cases):

Not suggesting it’s a hoax, as I had covid. Trying to determine why it’s being treated as a world killer.

Election year.

China is fixing to get handed the shaft if Trump wins a second term.

China has most countries leaderships in their pocket (see NK, Germany, Italy, and almost every country in Africa)

Trump already fricked them with phase 1 trade deal that has helped us out greatly. Phase 2 rumored to be much worse for them.

Biden has already received millions of dollars from China (possibly billions) and there's ample blackmail material of son doing things with (most likely) chinese children and drugs.

Now do you see why the released this virus? We're seeing the results of mass voter fraud in mail in ballots already.

Why weren’t we wearing masks and social distancing for TB, which is transmitted through the air?

---

I mean, we had large Sanatoriums that we put people in exclusively for TB so we isolated them from everyone else.

Waverly Hills here in Louisville opened in 1910 to accommodate TB patients and didn't close until the 60s when streptomycin became available and significantly reduced cases.
